Not a bad idea. In my case the bucket is mainly the gear truck so having the box stuffed with full sheets of plywood isn't a big deal for the most part. Ripping a few sheets and sticking them on top of the rack so they're always there would be a good option for when we roll out with just that truck though. Thanks.

I get Choice Tree care On my page somehow I guess we may have a few mutual friends lol check it out on my profile pics there is 30 pieces stacked up there , I welded D rings on the front and back and strap them down they're really are easy to manage like that with no loss space in the truck and you should take them everywhere its just smart ya know

well I guess that you've now learned that those trucks were designed to stay on the asphalt they are heavy and underpowered , and even if you have the small Cat its not meant to be worked in the mud , Tree MDS has the real deal with that puddle jumper , I want one so bad I would cut off a few fingers to have one ....

Lol. No ####. I kept saying to myself today, "If I only had a winch". MDS already busted on my girly ass truck getting stuck on level ground. Mother ####er... lol

Listen not to tell you your business but I sliced 4x8 down the middle and put them over the driver side on the headache rack , that way when we pull in we can dish them right off and then when were backing out we put them right back up on top , I have a pic of them loaded on my facebook page but I cant copy it for some reason , you get double the length from a sheet and for turns you just stack them where needed ...And the best part there half as heavy ....

Do you find single thickness is ok for bucket truck.. sure would save on weight.

Just did. Saw the setup. Think I'll do the same. Your page is effed though. Can't seem to "like" you or be your friend and there's really no photo section. Had to scroll through your old posts to find it.

$700 lesson learned today in the form of a wrecker bill. Bought 20 sheets on your recommendation. After today, they will ALWAYS be on the truck.

Hey just noticed where you have your pylons. Have to look and see if will fit there on my truck.. Do you tie them down or do they just sit there.

They sit there fine. Kind of a PITA to get them out so there's no need to strap them for normal travel. We have our road signs in the long section of the toolbox too, just above the poles.
