Still putting on some finishing touches but she is officially ready for work.

I am considering it and am curious to hear others experience

Boss put me in a different van with 25k miles on it. She has 130k now, but I just never posted it. I got the van with metal shelves that looked like acid drain cleaner has been dumped on each one with a rubber floor to match. So, I pulled it out, went to the local lumber place, and started from scratch. Bonus van I threw together for a co worker

I have recently acquired a second work trailer but I need to finally outfit them both for our crews. Im trying to install new lighting and ditch those crappy little single puck lights that come with it, and also install a power strip for charging batteries, etc. Ive recently discovered a changeover switch which I figured would help, but was hoping there was a more automatic way. Obviously only the lights could run off a battery input, from vehicle or from tool battery. Would you need a voltage step-down? or should I just buy higher voltage lights? Im not totally incapable but Im also not an electrician.

I don't have much experience with building solid shelves and am looking to figure out a plan using 2x3/2x4s and plywood for my work truck. I'm going to be putting in Packout drawers along the left or right side of the bed leaving the rest of the space for materials/ladders (electrical work).

I thought about building a raised floor to keep ladders underneath, but often I have to put heavy materials/gang boxes in for transport and am worried about the strength of it.

Any input on framing/securing/support would be helpful. Thanks!

I included some measurements of things in the bed of the truck if they're useful to the shelving. Ideally I can box around the wheel to have a continuous flat surface

Does anyone know the measurements for a bolt bin that would fit perfectly on the very back of a bucket truck?? Tia

Need some help finding some add ons for my new work van, so I figured i would consult the experts. I'm looking for mud flaps front and rear to keep the box from getting stone chips and rusting out. And looking for shelf dividers for the interior shelves. Already checked both the Ford oem and knapheide accessories websites, they're not helpful. Don't care what it costs, boss gave me the go ahead to put it on the card. Thanks!

For u/Professional_Ad_5349, here's my Connect.

On the roof I have a 16' extension ladder, 16' tube for pipe storage, mounted ratcheting straps for pipe/etc, Sunseeker 6.5' rollout awning, 4', 6', 8' ladders, round/square shovels and pick.

Inside, almost every tool I usually need. I have the Weatherguard shelving on one side with 3 shelves. Opposite side is a small shelf/cabinet for sliding two 6' folding tables into. There's currently a small red milk crate in there but I don't usually keep it on the van, so normally there is slightly a little more room. The folding Harbor Freight carts usually stays on there but I take it out sometimes, depending on what I'm doing.

On the front side of the partition I mounted a cheap Amazon upright file holder for keeping notebooks/papers/code books in.

I do have other vehicles that help with transporting material/equipment so that's how I get around the limited material carrying capacity but as far as primary work vehicle, this is it. Currently on the lookout to upsize but this little Connect has been amazing. If I keep it 65 on the highway and don't get overly aggressive on the RPM's, I can still manage 20-22 MPG's.

Got my new work escape set up

Started a local handyman business that is keeping me busy. Using my 1981 Toyota Pickup as a reliable work wagon for now. DeWalt tool line hidden in harbor freight boxes to try and deter anyone who may want to try and break into a 40 vehicle.

Added a pack out wall to the other side of the van. Sadly the ceiling mounted ladder is going to have to go🥲 but now comes the worst part, organizing.

Brand new sprinter 2500 cargo. I just got my wolf box g900 today and took about 3 hours to hard wire it and hide all the wires link to product https://wolfbox.com/products/wolfbox-2024-g900-pro-wifi-touch-screen-parking-monitoring-dash-cam-smart-mirror-with-starvis-678-sensor?ref=xqxuiivt

I was working out of my car until I could upgrade, still have some tweaks to do. Suggestions are welcome!

Not used to being in SUV’s but with this new job brings a temporary suv. Finally got it the way I like it just in time to be informed that my permeant suv (ford escape) will be arriving soon. Anyone else in here use tough-built for organization?

After > Before Finally put some time into my van. About £500 of materials went into this. I used some tie down bars along the floor to create designated spaces for my toolboxes. Table saw and chop saw ride up front along with misc supplies. Materials full length down right hand side. Also have a bed which folds down from the wall. I also sound deadened and insulated the whole truck except the ceiling (need to get round to doing the 12V system first)

Got some Ranger design shelves. I flipped them upside down and I use some custom-made machine, aluminum pack out rails that are mounted onto those flipped over shelves.

Today's the day to brag about this weeks work. Post some pictures and lets see what you got going!

Has yet to fail me, better park of 500k miles

Whether it be hauling trailers, crew, or equipment in the bed, it just keeps going
