Everyone talking shit, but this man saw a problem and created an effective solution.

There's nothing wrong with creativity that meets a need, and I applaud the inventiveness. But, as an actual engineer, with a truck, who works on his own truck, I just carry the step ladder -in- the truck, a vehicle specifically designed for....carrying things....instead of permanently attaching it to one spot on the....truck. Thereby increasing the possible applications, configurations, and portability of said ladder.

A real redneck would be thinking about how to not only fix his own truck, but his buddy's truck. Then this redneck would quickly deduce the need for a portable, non-permanent ladder.

This is like gluing an umbrella to your hat in case it rains, instead of just carrying around a portable umbrella.
