    Yeah, but why buy sideboard when you already have tarps that'll do the same job? I already carry enough equipment in this truck.

    because in the time you unroll the tarp with sideboards i would be strapped and rolling and if you made your own boards its very little cost, and the slightest slip up in the tarp during transport your tarp is useless anymore from being ripped to shreds
