Me personally... No. Nothing on big green trucks or trailers all week long. The weather has been really nice. Cool. Breezy. Sunny. Generally a great weather week. Been cranking about 12 hours a day at work though - so no work accomplished on the trucks.

Yeah. Son put some of that stuff in his house.
It has been there for several years and it still looks as good as the day he installed it.
On the other hand - his house doesn't move or bounce or twist...

Sure looks neat. Yeah, I have no idea what holds it down... Wonder if the snap lock is at a slight angle and that helps keep it pressed in a downward direction? Still, seems like some sort of shoe molding would be required around the edges.

Had he crashed and killed everyone, that would have been what...

Sounds well thought out - and there really is something to be said for buy it, use it, scrap it and upgrade later if you want to. With you 100% on avoiding cuts into structural parts of the truck too!
