grumpin Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 the funny thing is that when i got bubba it had a roll bar and lights. thats what i prefer but i needed to keep my tools dry so i bought a topper / cap . that was 27 years ago. again i find practicality takes precedence. however i do like the old school topper look Funny! I did the opposite. Got a Gem Top topper with double doors, always wanted one like that, then sold it because I needed it off a lot and I got finicky about putting garbage in there. I do garbage runs for a non profit every two or three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpin Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 thats what trailers are for . Yes, I was without a truck for about a year or so, first time without one for 33 years. Had my Bronco and a 1987 4Runner. Used the trailer for trash. Had it parked inside the back gate. Snowed some and got cold, had a heck of a time getting it out. Decided to leave it outside the gate for the winter, came to get it two weeks later and had to fight through 2 feet of snow. Decided then I wanted a truck, always! I agree, trailers are good for that, but I like putting in the back, dumping it and I’m done. I’m just too crippled up to fight that kind of stuff anymore.

I only lived down here a few months and throwing the trash in the back of my SUV I needed a truck so I did not have to smell the trash in the summer heat. It only took me 4 years to re-build the to make that happen Yes it is real easy to drop in in the bed run it 2 miles down the road to the dump and lift it out and be done! It takes longer to talk to people that like my truck at the dump Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A suburb east of Nashville You are now on the map, Mat. Or is it Matt? We've been pretty close to you. Our kids lived in Berry Hill for a while and we were out to that mall near you several times, to the hotel with the Christmas lights in it - before it flooded, and to The Hermitage.
