RockPick, sorry to hear about the water. When you have to worry about your water chipping your paint on impact, well, I'd hate to know what it's doing to your insides.

If you don't mind, post up a pic of the step ladder thing that fits over the wheels. Sounds interesting.

I can get a lot of the roof from the bed, but I have a roll back tonneau cover which limits how far back I can stand in the bed.

SHORTY!!!

I will admit, though, that I use a step ladder occasionally to prevent me leaning on the paint and scratching it. Even being 6'1", I'll still pull that sucka' out. )But you're still Short )

hmmm im only 5'7" but i can reach everything except the center of the hood near the windshield. For the roof i stand in the bed and just open all my doors and stand on the truck and sometimes hang on to the "oh schit" handle. i do use a rubbermaid step stool/storage box. i dont know where i got it, but its nifty to keep all my detailing supplies in there. im sure RP would need about 30 of these to fit all his supplies.

Once upon a time being 5' 8'' wasn't regarded as being that short, but nowadays kids seem about 10 feet tall, girls included. Not only that but I'm losing my hair too. It sucks getting old
