Default Re: SHOW off your work truck

OK, I'll admit my new truck doesn't quite get the 'it's just a work truck" kind of abuse as my previous F350 super duty, but I have to say I really am enjoying it!

2011 FX4 Ecoboost. First 14,000 miles and I couldn't be happier!

My work truck... There is only one "truck" in the Fire Service and they have to have a ladder on top! Those smaller red things are called engines

I haul stuff in this vehicle constantly. Love the looks I get when I pull up to Lowe's and throw lumber into the back on a rainy day.

"Work" is a historical concept for me. I'm a retired voice-over artist and musician. But when I do take an occasional gig, this is the truck I do it in -



89 Chev Astro 2WD. 9" lift. Lojak, redundant tracking, remote OBD sensing and vehicle disable, redundant alarms, internal and external video recording etc., smoke/flare/strobe launchers. Radio comms on every legal ham freq from 160m through 440MHz.

Fits an upright bass in the back with room left to sleep.




DIY gauge pod made from PVC mated to OEM A pillar molding, finished with 3M rubberized undercoating. Toggle and LEDs control/indicate status of elec radiator fan.
