    It's just a bag of sand, except the bag is in a tubed shape and not the normal rectangular shape. Sakrete and Quikrete make them. Should be able to go to Lowes/Home Depot to get it.

    It's a special sand that they put in a bag to make it weigh 70# +/- . If it gets wet then it'll weigh more, a lot more:rolleyes:

    I was going to say that. Thats the reason they put the switch on the truck. Some people are too macho to use 4x4.
