Basic starter scrap toolkit?

[phred59]

Well, I appreciate your frankness, for sure. Yeah, it's tough with a 5' bed, but I've gotta put the kids' safety first. Because we don't have the money for an old beater to drive around (saving for house downpayment) the Crew Cab was the best I could do. I've gotten some pretty fun loads in there, bnut it's a trick with the longer stuff. Lots of ratchet straps and a dropped tailgate, mostly.

The other issue is an apartment complex in town with annoying neighbors, so b reaking stuff down doesnt happen often, and off truck storage even less. It makes it tough, but I'm getting by. Just looking for pointers on what might be a unique situation (but, then, people are scrapping out of Buicks and Luminas, so it's not so bad!)

well to be honest with you, i'd rent a storage unit and spend a few hours a week right in it breaking stuff down.
