    Man y’all so cynical, it’s sickening. There are thousands of working show trucks out here. Even up in the snow belt. It’s called maintaining your investment. Keep it washed, keep it waxed.

    Must just be jealousy that they have what you can’t.

    Same crap when i was a kid. I had my beautiful chromed out, painted up, jacked up, pick up. And all i ever heard was oh that a pavement princess.... that truck will run and hide at the first thought of mud.

    I was never that way...i rode the hell out that thing & paid the price the next day. Have fun today and spend 6 hours cleaning tomorrow.

    I mean run up North Jersey & NYC. Look at some of the Trash trucks & Roll off trucks. Guess what, run they into the landfill daily! Some have pride others not so much.

    The saying is true... “Looking cool ain’t cheap, being cheap ain’t cool”

    Well Looking cool ain’t easy, & being lazy ain’t cool!

    Pretty sure that setup is from a Farmer's Oil truck. Their entire fleet is show-truck worthy but I've heard their drivers run at least as hard as anybody else.
     
    D.Tibbitt and Cat sdp Thank this.

    I'm not cynical or jealous, I have more tools in my tool bag in the side box of my truck then he has in there. It's a great idea but I can tell by the amount of tools that it's all show and no go. If you are OTR and are serious about fixing it yourself then I can can see the value no doubt about it. But then there is the weight factor, if it was on my truck I would have half my garage in it. I would be able to fix anything but haul very little. LOL
    Let's face it, some people like to try to impress people, but most of us are out to make the most money for the least cost. That is good business where I come from. Some people make money and buy shiny stuff for their truck and that's ok with me. I make money to put in my bank so someday I don't have to work. Some people wear the latest fad $100 jeans that look dirty and faded brand new. I buy $35 carhart because they last forever and look dirty and grease stained from working in them and fade from wearing them for 10 years. Your choice is fine with me but don't try and say your not trying to "be/look cool". I could careless what people think of me. And don't try and say I'm cynical and jealous because I think it's a waist of money.

    I'm cheap, lazy and cool. just ask my wife (the only one that matters to me)

    Saw one like it on Pinterest, driver kept his tarps in it. Good idea if you have a long wheelbase truck. A lot cheaper and a lot lighter than high dollar tool boxes.

    That's what I kept thinking, how nice it would hold tarps.

    Looks real neat, but you’re not fixing much on that truck with some screwdrivers, and small combination wrenches. Need an air gun with impact sockets at least, and where the heck is the ratchet? Maybe he cruises around fixing lawn mowers?

    Don’t get all bent out of shape, it’s all in fun.

    Probably make more money than driving a truck. He could use the sleeper to store extra parts, blades and such.
