I'm sure iv seen some people putting storage under the tipper body but I'm not sure where

ok so here is my problem, iv been running a crewcab ldv tipper for a while now and it needs replacing, i fancy a single cab next iveco/vw/transit kinda thing, simply because there cheaper to insure and lighter, but how do you guys go about storing all your tools? i know you can get one of those tool cabinets behind the cab but its an expensive conversion, I'm on a budget, would love some advice and pics please

Keeping hold of the lowering rope
James Atkinson replied to mikecotterill's topic in Rigging and roping
natural crotch and rapping around the tree in my opinion is slower, only through experience, also the wear on your rope is not good, and if the tree is not removed it does get damaged, iv climbed up trees that have had previous work done with the old school ways, people don't realize it is not good to rip off the camber and bark of a tree, our job is too protect not kill trees, unless it is a complete take down of corse, but with my bollard and DMM pulley block, it is fast easy safe, and the most importantly controllable, the guy i work with has 20 years experience behind him, always complaining how easy we all have it now, but i also agree people do use all this stuff on little trees that you can hold with your hands haha -
so haas everyone decided which is there fav yet? haha
-
are they big enough to hold back the SB? look a little thin
-

good vid mate, quick question poison ivy or imori? haha and where you get your showa gloves from, sorry to detract mate
-
i love them and i had the hi flex a while ago, im on my second pair of stretch airs now, if you get the right size they are ace, only thing is the stitching is a lil annoying especially on the flys where alot of them seem to go, but saying that i have had no problem with the new pair, and your legs can move in them unlike those lycra hi flex's lol, i have not tryed the gladiators so i cant comment on them mate
-
yea that would be good if you could get me one thanks
-
alright adam where you get those blue containers from? brian uses them said he got them from a local Chinese or something

-

ordering a rigkit - please take a look
James Atkinson replied to Dr.Green's topic in Rigging and roping
im going for the stein rc3001 in the next few days too, all that i have read and looked at, its worth the money, anything must be better than a portacrap though, they wind me up bad, forestandarb.com are the cheapest on the net by around £50!!!
