Our stand makes long sits a lot more bearable.

In our region, pre-dawn hunts are usually below freezing and sometimes below zero. Specifically, we designed it to fit in an F-150, because that’s the most common truck in America and we have that whole “common tools” theme going. We designed the DJ Stand to easily fit in the bed of a full-size pickup.
