Pimp My Ride

[George Stolz]

I went out to my van to get my tools to look at my well pump controller, and thought I'd take some pictures of the inside of the van to show off the bins I built yesterday. I thought maybe some other guys took a perverse pleasure in re-organizing their vans, as I do. It's a 2002 E-250 that I aquired after having to give up the old '94 Silverado to some guys who needed the 4x4. I love the new space.

Here is a picture of my best friend, my $10 collapsing stool. It works great on trims. No knee pain for me!

Re: Pimp My Ride

I don't see it online at www.harborfreight.com , but I got it at the Harbor Freight in Fort Collins.

How do you like using a T-post driver for your ground rods or is that what I am seeing here. .

And I thought I invented that idea.

Jim,
George probably keeps the interior of that truck organized like that 24/7,with at least two coats of turtle wax applied the outside too.

Re: Pimp My Ride

Jim, what happens in three weeks?

Mike - 'Fraid not.

I'd like to see other's wheels too, if they're so inclined. If Wayne's back, I'd love to see his setup in the new van.

Your employer makes you provide your own mobile shop? Maybe I should hire some guys.

Awesome van. Great job. The ONLY reason I feel my utility truck is cooler, is because my employer provides it to me free of charge.

Re: Pimp My Ride

Psst...
Jeff, it's a company van.
Magoo, it's sitting in my driveway.

Re: Pimp My Ride

I appologize for the flippant remark. Few guys will take the time to pimp out a company ride.

Exceptionally exercised right hand?

Perhaps that super human strength comes from doing the old wax-on, wax-off with your van

George check this out.

This is what I use to drive ground rods.

Re: Pimp My Ride

I use a Bosch spline drive roto-hammer to drive ground rods.

 

[jeff43222]

Re: Pimp My Ride

This is what I use. It wasn't cheap (nor were the bits), but it's oh so fun to use. I also use it to bore holes in foundations and demo mortar between joists in basements. After I bought it, my only regret was that I didn't buy it sooner.

Re: Pimp My Ride

That looks like the same one we have. It also makes a great jack hammer for small trenching jobs through rock.

Re: Pimp My Ride

I'm sure it's similar, but it wouldn't be the same one. Mine is SDS-Max.

I'll take one of those in my truck. 8.5kW of portable power.

Re: Pimp My Ride

Give me one of these and turn me loose.
