That's where I stole one from for the deck. Now I'll be going through this same scenario in the spring, having no idea where my turnbuckle went! :Hammer3:

well just your luck eh, I'm sure you double nutted the turn buckle, even still I found a few that were loose from time to time, a mechanics creeper may help though,:beer:

I gave up on double nuts. They were always coming loose. Now I run a tyrap through the turnbuckle back to something solid. They never move any more.

I gave up on turnbuckles for the same reason. Bastards keep coming loose.
I run a small chain with a hook on it and a small boomer. Problem solved.

And of course whack my head on the bottom side of the bolts that hold my Superclamp brackets. I keep meaning to cut those off. :headscratch3:

or wrench is back on tail gate, on a 8ft box

or spend ten minutes looking for the wrench you just had and find it in your back pocket.

Or give up looking for said wrench and go grab a spare only to remember that you lost it last year.

And of course whack my head on the bottom side of the bolts that hold my Superclamp brackets. I keep meaning to cut those off. :headscratch3:

Or on the rails for the ramps.

I glad to see that I'm not alone.

Or you get all the way to the front of the box and your practical joking girlfriend closes the tail gate on you. .. Then you hit your head on the Superclamp hooks ,

at least she know where you are then, lol
