Rules

Unofficial. Unenforceable. Absolutely non-negotiable.

  1. 01If it's bolted down, it's not yours to borrow.
  2. 02The transfer tank is not a cooler. We see what you're doing, Dave.
  3. 03Measure twice, cut once, swear three times.
  4. 04If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem.
  5. 05Zip ties aren't a permanent solution. They're a lifestyle.
  6. 06Your truck isn't an office. It's better.
  7. 07The loudest guy on site is usually the least productive.
  8. 08'Make it work' is not a spec. Get more zip ties.

"The guy with the cleanest truck
does the least work."

Field Notes

The Crew in Action

Every review on this site started in a garage just like yours. Oscar, Jake, Rosa, and Mike bolt on, climb up, and break things so you know what holds up before you spend your money. Here's a look at a recent test day at the shop.

Oscar Garza
Running the Show
Oscar GarzaFounder & Editor-in-Chief

Oscar runs the floor — testing gear, signing off reviews, and keeping the whole operation honest. Don't tell him we said so.

Jake Morrison
Testing
Jake MorrisonLead Field Tester

Jake scales a steel ladder rack to check for flex under load — every rack gets the 250-lb climb test before it earns a review.

Rosa Delgado
Logging
Rosa DelgadoSenior Editor

Rosa logs fit and finish notes on a van accessory package — she's been running this test protocol since 2019.

Mike Callahan
Inspecting
Mike CallahanTool Box & Tank Guru

Mike inspects the latch on a cross-box — if it binds in the shop, it'll fail on a job site.
