is there an explanation to go with the picture?

Im guessing they use it to get in and out of the bed, to wash it, etc. I have a couple of the Werner version that I use but they dont fold flat.

I did pick up a pair of the Gorilla one in this pic, though, for a whopping $13.00 each ;) Those will stay outside since they fold so flat.

So I installed noco power plug and pulled 110v to engine bay to power up battery maintainer and battery warmer and engine block heater with option to have them to be powered individually or all at once

I’ve been considering the Fumoto valve for the oil pan. Is it worth it? What about something snagging it and losing all your oil?

I have Power Wagon and oil pan is pretty deep hidden inside, guess when rock climbing it can be hit but I don’t think in that case just with nut there would be any difference. And if that happens I have original plug in glove box and few liters of oil with me all the time. Other option would be adding skid plate.

Looks like pretty good clearance. I will definitely put that on my list. Thanks for the pic and reply

My wife picked up this hammock from Amazon for about $50. It's well worth it.

Actually that gorilla ladders platform in the background is very useful. It was $75 at home depot. It works very well for getting those higher places on the truck. For you short, old or large (375lb limit) folks it makes getting into the bed much easier. Its 20" high and folds flat. It's also a pretty good seat, when cleaning the lower portions of the truck. I didn't buy it for these reasons. I actually bought it for home remodel earlier this year.

Damn your hammock pic makes that handy stand look massive!!!!! I was thinking bout getting it for a mobile work table for motorcycles @ the track - $75 a steal!

Then your 2nd pic rained on my parade!

I did one on my hemi, it tucked up pretty well and if you get the non-nipple version then it would be the same level as the bottom of the oil pan. On mine the nipple sticks down just a tiny bit.
