DVR lets me always have something to watch though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

That's only helpful if there is something worth recording, though, which isn't always the case //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Because that truck is the business. Its a mobile "mechanic" shop. In that truck is all of the equipment, there is no store, shop or garage, that truck is it. Therefore, if the truck is broken and we cant get the equipment to your job, house etc.... we cant work.

I think you need a small back-up truck then.

We were workin on that before the other business started. Now all the money and shit is goin to that. Another truck is later in the future. But this truck has only broken down 4 times in 7 years. And usually only down a day or two, minor stuff. :knockonwood:

Ah, that's not bad then.

Theres just too much going on. He has his projects, I have my projects. And the next truck will have less stuff in it (no tire mounting or balancing), and smaller oil tanks.

I'd build a hot-rod Uhaul-thing if I was doing the business that you are.

Send it to Trick My Truck and see if the Chrome Shop Mafia will make it pimp for you!

I was flipping channels the other day and happened across an episode of that and they were doing some guy's dumptruck. They did this full on redo of the interior with some simulated lava dripping on this fiberglass piece they fabbed for the inside with some audio and whatnot (I think they used Fusion gear but I could be wrong).

Now I can see wanting your ride to be nice and all but here's my problem with the whole idea of "pimping" a dumptruck.

Odds are if you drive a dumptruck for a living then you have a job that requires that you get dirty more often than not. Not that I am knocking those who drive dumptrucks, mind you, as it's a completely respectable job done usually by pretty hardworking folks. But the bottom line is that the nature of the job doesn't allow you to avoid getting filthy most days I can't imagine.

Having said that - how long you figure a "tricked" truck will stay looking "tricked" in that situation? Not long would be my guess....

We are looking at a Winnebago for the gaming business, since the Hummer didnt work out.

Not long at all. I use seat covers in my car, cuz I get dirty, and im not even really that dirty. Couldnt imagine getting dirty and shit all the time.

My other brother drives a dump truck for the city. He gets really ****ing dirty. hahaha. we joked on him when he first got that job. Good pay and good benefits though, cant beat that.
