Just a bedliner.

Hi All-

I would probably dump 120 lbs of rock salt into a rugged Rubbermaid container and secure it into the bed. This is a future plan because I haven't taken delivery of my intended truck as of yet.

Thank you.

I know that the excerpt list changes from time to time, so I thought it would helpful on the copy right claim issues to generally avoid posting full articles.

Do you have a different preference ?

actually had grass growing in the back of it.

LOL... Several years ago, there was a guy who worked at another building at our post, and he had a corn stalk with ears growing out of the dirt in his spare tire. The Austin paper actually came out and took a picture of that and had it in the paper.

I use elevator weights for traction weight, a set of tire chains, a tool box, the hitch I always smash my shin into if I dont remove it, tie downs ,a hook so I can reach the front without climbing in, (I have a fibre glass cover over the bed)Keeps out that ice this guy has a problem with. If it snows I add a blanket and an extra coat. The only time I carry gas is when I am transporting it. I dont like the idea of it spilling back there.

With all that survival equipment, plus 2 feet of ice in the back of a Ford Ranger F150, the bed of the pickup is going to be pressed firmly against the rear tires, preventing it from ever leaving the driveway.

You are going to need a heavier duty truck.

If it's on the list, follow those rules, the rest is your preference. You might want to bookmark that list, Jim updates it as needed.

"When I was a younger man and had a life," stated Clinton, "I owned an El Camino pickup in the '70s. It was a real sort of Southern deal. I had Astroturf in the back. You don't want to know why, but I did."

I doubt if I really know what desert survival gear is stuck in the back of my old 85 full sized Jimmy, but the wife swears ten people could live out of it for a month.

You should have seen the looks on people's faces when he drove down the road. He had a piece of plywood tied onto the front of the bed to keep the wind from breaking the stalk.

An extremely dusty bedliner & tonneau cover.

at one point, a pickup I owned (and used regularly) actually had grass growing in the back of it"


I believe you. My son had corn growing in the bed of his truck from deer corn that had spilled out. True story.

Here in California

You poor guys...lol! :)

I did two stints in California. Served my time there, hehehe. Besides, I like the cold winter weather and the much less dense population.
