As the title says.

I have a pile of leaves stuck between the cab and the bed and they're getting deeper each year. Now they're like about half way up the bed height.

Anyone have any clues as to how to et them outta there? I've tried a leaf blower, and even a pressure washer to try and knock them out but to no avail. And I don't have any kind of stick that can get in there to do the job, either. Broom handle won't fit nor will a grab tong grippy thing I have fit down there.

So, Ideas are welcome :rock: :rock: :rock:

Their's a rubber flap underneath that you can pry open and pulls it down.

A retired chemist I'm sure can figure this out (just messing with ya).
Go to Lowes or Home Depot, buy a wooden dowel stick, it will fit. Or the skinny end of a fishing rod.

Believe it or not, your not the first person who has asked this on the forum.

What were you keeping them for?

At this point they’ve probaboy been there long enough to start composting. Take advantage of that - add some potting soil and transplant some flowers and create a rolling flower display! I’m thinking glad-iolus’s would be the obvious choice.😃

Sure you do not have something else stuck down there that the leaves are piling on?

When you replace your factory antenna with a 50cal stubby, don't throw it away. It is perfect for clearing out those leaves.

Ok I’m sure there’s enough advice for removing. But as far as preventing? How about a pool noodle? Cut a 1/3 section from the length and then stuff it in just enough to not see it driving buy.
