    Inside of Box

    Weave: If you use the first foot and a half of a 24' box, do you then list yourself as having a 22' box, since that's the effective capacity of your unit? This is a great idea. I had thought about hanging bikes from the roof of the truck, but this makes even more sense: just build storage...
