Not today but last Saturday, the SC works very well for yard sales! Some stuff in the bed and some in the back seat.

Put the SC to work the day I took delivery.
35” tire and wheel set from my traded Gladiator transported to my friends garage.
We mounted them on his JL Rubicon that afternoon.

More power to you if you can get others to pay for it!

 

[downhilbil]

it averages around $80 a day and have had 5 people reserve/rent it so far

That was always my idea... If I was interested in buying something...Rent it first, it's worth spending a day or two with it instead of a 20 min Demo ride with the salesman breathing down your back

Today I used my SC to return some ski gear to a buddy. While I was unloading gear a guy approached me to ask about the SC. He said that he hadn’t seen an SC before but had seen the Ridgeline and thought that was an ugly truck too, haha. He then pointed out that it can’t haul a sheet of plywood. I corrected him and pointed out how it’s done. He said “that’ll never work.” Haha. I’m sure glad he was able to put me in my place. I should sell my SC and buy an F150 evidently

He said “that’ll never work.”

So I must have been hallucinating when I brought home three sheets of plywood day before yesterday.

PS: the tailgate latches are a great place to hook the ratchet straps to when the gate’s half down. They’re a lot stronger than the rings on the bed floor. The rings are rated for 400# IIRC.

Picked up a 1946-49 walk-behind tractor with a Clinton 700A engine project.

It's going to the ranch house for eventual restoration and fun duty. Came with a multiple "J" hook howe and single plow, plus an extra set of wheels for a sulky. Stopped by my local lawnmower shop and we found a gas cap that fit in his box of old loose caps. Should be a fun project, that can also tow my 4X8 wagon around.

But remember, the Santa Cruz isn't a truck!

Picked up a 36" outdoor griddle. By the way, if you get one of these, they weigh 168 lbs, so make sure you have a friend to unload it.

Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!!!

De-badged and gave her a bath.

Next week, she gets OEM fender flares and carbon fiber raised “Santa Cruz” letters on the tailgate.

Nice,see you got a Blackstone. We love ours and use it all the time weather permitting!

Took the Soma Wolverine Belt-Drive 3spd to Huntington State Beach for a ride.

Got to about 90* Tuesday in SoCal (sun flare?), but the beach had a nice cool breeze at sea level. Walked the HB Pier to the end and back. It was warm up there above the water level. Lots of surfers and beach goers out for a weekday.

You've got to love the Senior Golden Bear Limited Use Pass! Free parking during the off season.

I hit the slopes for what will probably be the last time up this season. Snow was getting thin in spots and was mashed potatoes everywhere that still had cover. Warm temps in the forecast won’t help. Now I can transition to outdoor rock climbing season!

 

[soedog]

Had the fronts tinted at 35% which matches the rear factory tint well enough.

 

[Sagebrush]

I took Sagebrush and my bike to the National Whitewater Center where they have over 50 miles of mountain bike trails…
