The SEMA Truck and Off-Road Alliance, Ron Webster Memorial Award for Engineering Excellence: Jon Engen, DECKED. He didn't beat cancer, but he kicked ass in the Olympics, and industrial design, and he earned this award for sure



The TORA Council announced the winners of their third annual TORA Awards during the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV. The awards are given to members who positively influence the market and to the best new products in the truck industry.

This company had a big booth at SEMA, and though it's not eye catching, when I came across this installed example at work, I was very impressed with the construction and dead simple ease of roll out!

These weren't yet invented when I drove a work truck from 1999-2002 as a cable guy, and it's shocking how effing better this is than the flat plywood platform we got, (if we were lucky) in the back of the company Ranger

This is one of those "I hope the hell someone buys me this for Xmas" gifts anyone with a truck would appreciate on Christmas morning!

And if you know someone with one, or happen to spot one in a parking lot, take a minute to ask them what they think of it, and then get ready for them to gush their compliments!

Just sayin!

" he enjoys pretending to listen to his four daughters and seeking out quiet, estrogen-free pockets around his property. Punching way above his weight, his wife is the cause of much conversation when they enter the room which typically goes, “What on earth does she see in him?” Greg rides bikes, skis, fishes, hunts, and reportedly has hand-eye coordination on par with a one-armed, one-eyed, drunk Labrador."

"A died in the wool vegan-a-tarian, the last time Taylor ate meat was on a bet wherein she ate 10 brown drake mayflies winning the chance to cut her fiance’s mullet. "
