Who still uses their 45 for work? (5 Viewers)

[Tank5]

I used a fine partical Kevlar bed liner. I wasn’t wanting anything fancy as this truck will serve as a driver and bash around vehicle for the camping trips.

Is the product tintable? Do you recall the brand or name? It looks appealing to me.
Thanks

I reckon a majority of 45's down under still do an honest days work.

As I was taking a load of green waste to the tip (dump), I passed two 45's being used by builders, and I often pass a couple of others being used by tradies ( contractors). Every time its out doing its thing it gets commented on.

It is tintable as we played around with it trying to get the “inferno” color in the new 4runner I saw. I’ll see if I can rustle up the name.

I think this qualifies. A sad job today.We were 1st in to the "Holy Fire" destruction area in Trabuco Canyon CA. My cabin and 11 others bit the dust. The 45 shows its self to be a worthy beast wheeling over still hot ground to go round an oak tree across the trail.

Sliprock, Those are 35 12.5 -15 Wranglers. They are turds. They look cool but I have paid dearly in fuel. They also from the start have been noisy less than round crude tires. I have finally replaced them with good old 33 10.5-15 BFG all terrains. The truck loves them and so do I.

Justified my flatdeck 45 purchase partly based on needing a work horse for the block, nice to find I wasn't completely deluding myself

He scared me a little, after I made the cuts and was about to pull he wandered straight into the drop zone

This may sound a bit woos*ss, but if I was doing that, I'd have put a chain between the rig and rope. Ropes have a lot of tension in these situations, and if they break, they have a lot spring force that heads right at the tiedown. A co-workers son lost his life from a stretched cable (not a rope though) breaking. A chain will absorb most of the rope stretch if it breaks. Woos*assnes over.

Finally figured out how to get a decent ride out of it... delivered 150km's away.
