Very nice that diamod plate will really draw some attention to your rig. I like the step in the back as well. Too bad you can't really use that type of setup up here with the winters.

"FREEZING" WHAT IS THAT? I THINK WE GOT ENOUGH SNOW TO COVER THE GROUND TWICE IN THE 22YEARS I HAVE LIVED IN TALLAHASSEE. I ACTUALLY CLEAN QUITE A BIT DEC, JAN, & FEB. THERE ARE NIGHTS WHERE I HAVE TO DRAIN AND COVER MY EQUIPMENT.

Winter '79 the Marines had too helicopter food into the town we were snowed in big time.

I remeber one winter we had a tunnel down to community market..snow is fun when youu only have to play in it!!

Tasleton2 where did you get the bed?

The bed came with the truck. It had a dovetail and ramps on it when I bought it, but it was of no use to me since I fix mount everything. There will be a lot more on it soon. Tanks are next after the boxes (2-200's & a 150). I will transfer over my 8gpm washer (24hp/tsf2021) and a 4.8gpm (13hp/51g) washer from our other flatbed. It will have a bunch of hose reels (4-6), a generator, 2 surface cleaners, 3 ladders, 2 blowers, 2 softwash pumps, 20gallon gas tank, and a bunch more crap.

I have had it about six months and it does a great job for us. Before I bought the 8gpm washer we ran it off our 5gpm and it was a little slow. We treat most all of our concrete before we clean it so we can walk behind it pretty quickly. If whisper wash makes a 48" one day I will buy it up! THE HIGHER FLOW REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE.
