Did a little work yesterday, cut the pcs for front guard and cab protection. It will hold a generator and 2 wheel barrels.

I know it looks odd w/o horizontal supports, that metal is still at work, hope to get enuf done today before chillin at the lake to cut the supports this week.

Simple jig because working by yourself can suck at times....worst part is dropping shit and then climbing off/down to get it

I miss my F450 4x4 regularly. It rode awful, got stuck easily, guzzled diesel and was slow  but it didn't care if there was 7k lbs in the bed.

And yeah their SPF wood sucks big time but HD isn't much better.  If the Lowes by you has SYP that's usually in far better condition and is a good bit tougher, although noticeably heavier.

@K1rodeoboater...interesting.  I wonder if it's location dependent...

I have been a Lowe's person for many years--NEVER shopped at HD... but I'm liking Home Depot's wood better these days.  I was not happy to come to that conclusion, but it's the truth, at least up here.

And I like their wood quality better than at least three of the local lumberyards' stuff.  That's with ME picking it out.  Which is very sad, to me.  And Home Depot will match the price at the lumberyard for me, OR they will give me a better discount than Lowe's.

Lowe's be like...

"We are ALL about our pros!"

Me:  "So....does that mean you will do a pro discount of more than five percent even for me?  I know you do it for the higher volume buyers."

Lowes:

Home Depot be like, "Yeah, we can go at least ten, even for small businesses."

Kitties be like, "Ima goin' to the orange store."

At least for wood.

One reason I like Lowes over HD is because of their military discount program.  Lowes be like, "It's 10% off everything."  Home Depot be like, "It's 10% off unless it's on sale, or something we have to order, or if it's 70% of the brands in store, or if you spend more than $500 it's going to stop at $50, or only 3 days a year if you're a veteran and not a retiree, or if you're buying something in certain product categories."

That said there are certain things I go to HD for over Lowes.  I don't bother buying plywood or SPF lumber from Lowes anymore.  The quality is frankly shit, and until they change their supplier I'll go elsewhere.  Lumberyards tend to be cheaper than both of them anyways.

I didn't know that was the case for veterans, because Lowe's makes a VERY big deal about "we are all about veterans!"

It is good to know that it doesn't go very deep.  While I appreciate that they honor their employees who are veterans by giving them the camo vest, it needs to be more than a publicity campaign.

will do a couple 3/4" or 1" tacks to keep noise down, not hauling water. not sure over cab yet, it will get a railing setup to tie to, mainly plan on a couple wheel barrels and generator maybe.

We will see probably 2 x 6 or metal, it will help protect cab and shade it also
