Nope. Not a bluff in sight. Been doing that hop up into the driver's seat since 1991.
When I was campaigning, I would haul my signs and rebar in the truck bed. When I could have access, I would back the truck up to the sign location, drop the tailgate, use the running board to get into the truck bed, and stand on the tailgate to pound the rebar into the ground. It was very handy for this short gal to put up the bigger signs that way. That rebar had to be at least4 feet above ground and 2 to 3 feet underground. Do the math. That tailgate was a perfect height
People thought it was worth a honk and a wave!
