One shot. Its been posted before, at least a year ago. Its a 8x20 bumper dragger with 12K axles and a ramp. Lights and power, basically a big splitter. I dont have or use a generator, I just plug the trailer in if I want to. Its a lot more full and messy these days than that pic, but its been awhile.
The truck is a modified 01 F350 crew, long box, 4x, with entirely too much aftermarket stuff to list but the nutshell is its mostly all been done for pulling and it does that exceptionally well. I'm pushing 500hp/1100 tq but Marty still has me beat.

@@ Furniture glides...They work well? Nice idea.
Certainly cheaper and less work than 100# sliders. Your drawers looked well-filled and heavy.The ToolBear

Slicker'n snot on a crystal doorknob! (well, maybe not... but slick enough you gotta be careful when closing them to go easy, or they slam shut! I put some felt cushions on the back to soften the blow). Easily replaced, too.

What happens when it rains?
The top of the platform is covered with aluminum diamond plate. The drawer ends are set back - so that no water gets in the boxes. Plus, there is a compression sponge weatherstrip along the edge of the platform at the tailgate, so water intrusion there is minimal.

The blue truck is what I started out with. I sold it to buy the green extended cab. I miss old blue.

Mike thats Seaside Oregon, That hill is tillomock head the place where lewis and Clark went up , there furthest treck, From there they said something like its mighty pretty here, We can drive on the beach North of Seaside, If i was facing the other way i would run into the mouth of the Columbia River, Its very nice here to bad the landscape takes away the beauty of my truck;).... They rust out fast driving on the beach
when i was a kid my Dad would take his '49 ford out on 2d Beach and lemme drive..
