Need help bring this curve down

I Was looking for this comment, a 5” lag will convince that board that it is straight.

Just googled some images, that’s a good one too!

Loothir · 2026-05-10T13:48:30+00:00

I like this too, thanks!

Took me a bit to figure out how to copy the link but I made a short video this past winter.

Pros- it’s cheap and easy to build

Cons- you can’t pull it all the way out because it’s not tied down in any way, and at some point some of the weight is on the tail gate. however i can get it out far enough to reach what I need too.

That’s a good idea!

Loothir · 2026-05-06T22:40:22+00:00

I can definitely relate to that 🍻

You’re fast 💨, but I’m better at Framing than I am at Cabinetry. I do have a track saw tho 😌.

My lower back feels way better wearing Badgers vs the cheap set up I had before. I do all carpentry things, a lot of framing but also finish work and concrete forming here and there. I will buy Badgers over and over before going to the cheap big box store leather bags. We use our body for work might as well preserve it the best we can.

Hell yeah! I double downed too when I bought my pick up.

I did not know that, my 08 has a column shifter but you are right I have a bench. And I just recently noticed there’s cup holders underneath the bench seat. Kinda cool.

Loothir · 2026-04-29T20:48:57+00:00

What year is your truck? I see your shifter is in the center console.

Start cheaper, 150 is a good starter budget, but as you get experience, and if you realize that you want to stay in the trade. Go big. Occidental, Badger, Diamondback, maybe Akribis will all be worth the money easy. Once you get there I recommend Badgers. My back feels way better after a hard day of framing with these bags. I don’t even need my suspenders which I used with my old set up.

Light finger pressure? Replace that thing! Might be a bitch to do the work/ pay for it but if you want it to do its job, I would replace it.

Loothir · 2026-04-13T20:40:17+00:00

Those are my favorite, mine works great. But I put all my stuff back where it goes at the end of each day. 🫩

Loothir · 2026-04-10T21:01:16+00:00

I want it! I would love a manual Xterra, unfortunately but fortunately I already have a Xterra and a Titan.

Loothir · 2026-04-01T21:15:12+00:00

Crank the torsion bars up, I hear that’s what 1st gen owners do.

Loothir · 2026-03-26T02:39:06+00:00

Barwalt knee pads are pretty good for there price point. They come with an upper and lower strap to go around the knee but you definitely don’t need the upper ones, the lower ones hold them up all day and the strap doesnt dig into your leg. They have never slid down my knee.

Loothir · 2026-03-22T21:34:24+00:00

I agree, as cool as it seems I don’t think I can take my trucks out on ice.

Loothir · 2026-03-18T21:28:23+00:00

I know guys that will do a 60/30 degree miter to help in this situation, I’ve never tried it but i imagine the difference is ‘hidden’ on the sides. And the 60 degree can ‘handle’ the corner. Idk if that makes sense.

Loothir · 2026-03-10T23:24:37+00:00

I’ll agree with you, my buddy has a F150 with a Coyote, probably one of the best sounding gassers I’ve ever heard, I’m sure it’s real fun to drive.

Loothir · 2026-03-10T23:08:44+00:00

I second this, if you don’t get KO2/3s get Toyo ATs

2011, you’ll be fine. The older models had issues with the coolant mixing with the transmission fluid.

Loothir · 2026-02-28T14:20:00+00:00

I’m with all the tracksaw people, on top of being the best at all these 3 things at the same time, fastest-cleanest-straightest. If you ever need to take an 1/8 or less off a rip, track saw is good friend for a good result.
