    Great set up. The idea of dumpster diving for materials for set up is great. The set up you have looks nicely efficient. Having access to most used items at the door is a good way to access stuff rather than having to open the back of some other vans up. Good to see a functional workspace where items can be found easily, I wish my locklab was as organized! I liked the #LockBoss sticker on the side of the van. Thanks for sharing, cheers

    Over the years I've learned that service trucks get damaged and you can go to a junkyard and buy those cabinets for almost nothing work benches and so the last three vans that's what I've done and if you're creative enough you can use wood and make it how you want there's a lot of nice beautiful vans inside but it cost them a fortune I want the money in my guys and my pocket not just for new equipment to set up the van meaning shelves and work benches PJ and tanner did a great job

    I just bought a Clean Slate today to set up (2008 Chevy Express van) . I have set up at least 5 vans from scratch in the past. Most had Adrian Steel furniture and even if they did it was in the wrong places. I like a plywood floor, black mat is the worst if you drop a Kwikset clip or anything else, can't roll a wheeled stool on rubber mat. I really like the Peg Board in your van, makes a great look and easy place to attach tools.

  • @williamc2553
    @williamc2553 Před 3 lety

    Part of being a #lockboss is being adaptable to many types of situations. Make your van your own. I started with wood cabinets. They got me by and gave a lot of counter space. After some time I upgraded my cabinets. Ive now got metal cabinets, a dedicated bench. I also keep a lot of things easily accessible. I'd be willing to do a walk thru of my van, the pros and cons of the layout and such if you're interested. Nice setup Tanner!

    Interesting setup Tanner, I too have a Ram Promaster. I have the 3500 high roof extended version of yours. I wished I had only spent $100 to setup mine, I like your setup PJ has seen my setup and i think my setup is pretty nice too. I’m a clean freak so my van is always clean too, I like the sub woofer idea. Has a mobile locksmith we are always on the road so music is very very important. I’ve had my van for 3 years and just last year i put up a partition because I was afraid for something to fly and hit me in te head or windshield in an accident or even braking too fast or too hard. I know you like being able to through and checking if you have something for the next job. I do too but I walk the entire van to do so now. I also added the side steps to get in and out of the driver side and the sliding door. It may not be super tall to get in and out but after awhile it gets tiring. Maybe I can send pictures of my van if you like to see how I have mine setup. Unlike you I don’t do everything you do, I don’t make car keys, work on safes or access control. I mostly do residential and light commercial, I deal with a lot of property management companies so most of the work I do I installing new deadbolts, repairing locks, rekeying, master rekeying, evictions and lockouts stuff like that. So my setup will most definitely everything way different than yours. But it’s always awesome for me to see how another #LockBoss sets up their van because It gives me ideas that I can implement on my van so thank you. Also I’m thinking of moving to Iowa and finally leave California, but it does snow 4.5 months out of the year any tips on how to prep or drive in the snow. Like what should I expect I know our vans are front wheel drive but like you said all the weight in the back doesn’t help. I currently have BF Goodrich KO2 on van (Vanessa aka Big booty Nessa) so that helps me out in the gravel roads. Anyways any advice would help Thanks Tanner and PJ

    Very Cool Guy's. I will be setting up my Van in January. Your van will be a great template Tanner! This may be a dummy question but I didn't see a Laser key cut machine? What do you do there? #lockboss in training

      Hi Gerald, Thank you. Laser machine is sitting in a box, just needs to be installed 👍 . For now, we just run to the shop to cut laser keys.
