The prize is a banana 🙂

Ah . Thanks . I am a shite speller 😀

Good. He supported the Iraq war. There is no place for Labour in this day and age. Funny you should mention fascism and cancellation of elections. Keep an eye on The USA and their mango Mussolini.

Labour row erupts after Andy Burnham blocked from byelection race APPLE.NEWS Allies of Greater Manchester mayor say No 10 has ‘chosen factionalism’ as decision leads to a furious... So cancelling elections where it’s looking like a defeat is on the cards, stop a rival from possibly challenging for the leadership in the long term, locking people up for having the wrong opinion 🤔🤔 Can someone remind me who are the fascists I keep hearing about from the leftards.

unless you want to drive off pavement between September and April

Yes, I've seen a lot myself last week. Velvet shank I think

Hi, apart from being an insecticide it's other purpose is as an anti fungal agent and I use it to paint on boards that are to be stickered for much time seasoning to prevent blue staining on the grain particularly in softwoods like Pine, Spruce and Larch, but anything really. I really only mill wood for myself when the opportunity arises and I've got a few stacks of various woods that I can dig into when needed, but there's nothing worse taking a slab out of a stack that's been sitting for years to find that it's all blue stained specially up here in wet Northwest. Also Borax is the main component in woodworm and dry rot treatments, plus many other industrial uses.

@Pete Mctree thanks. Thats Bob. The go to man for crane removals in Cumbria. He spends a lot of time doing tree work. He good and really nice.

And for those who really do want their load outside to get wet and stolen, the British version of a cool old yank blue collar pickup is not a Hilux or tray Landcruiser with a bed just big enough for a dolls’ house. It’s a mk6 flatbed Transit.

Just being cheeky🙄

Weekly reminder that 90% of people who drive pickups would be better off with a van. Load spaces are lower, larger, more secure and waterproof.

Somewhat, as it comes in flat pack and requires fixing together (4 main joints) there will Be water ingress. I think if you add some additional adhesive they would be completely. I bought the shelf as well for one of the side door - same quality and just bolts on. As has been mentioned I thought it was too good to be true but they turned out decent and three years no breakages etc although I look after my kit! They have plastic hinges on the doors which if you were heavy handed might break but as I say I’m don’t mistreat it.

Just checked, rsi ones are now around £2800 + vat. made in South Africa and very sturdy, even so that’s a massive price gap so I’d be cautious

Almost too good eh? I paid more than that for mine 10 years ago

Are the canopies watertight? I know the roller shutter tend to leak.

Looks the same offering from direct4x4.co.uk where I got mine - I believe these companies just drop ship from a Chinese manufacturer (not that that's an issue). I’ve had mine on 2 trucks for 3 years - easy to assemble, solid once fitted, not had any issues. Locks are crap but that doesn’t really matter, I’d rather they were crap and thieves popped the door rather than ripped the whole canopy apart! No issues with the gas struts, thoroughly recommend. I was so happy that I found them whilst looking at the smartcap offerings as saved myself £1500 on basically the same thing!

Another one for anyone on this journey with me. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AbXBeVz7V/? Why cast up in the summer?

Looks a good price I’ve had similar, a bushtech from apb trading and an Alucab and much prefer the anlum canopies over the plastic type. worth bearing in mind if you’re gonna have a sliding tray, shelf and full with kit you might want stiffer springs on the back

Remember it well.

For anyone enjoying some Sunday football, a bit of nostalgia.

Why.not truckman?
