Tacomas doing work

Awesome! And 16 foot Lumber works well too. Haha! Cheating with a bed extender. I always laugh when the long bedders claim to “use their truck”.

 

what weight is that and how did it feel driving with that load ??

 

You just don't look back and everything is good

 

It was pretty heavy and the front was super light. I could probably pop a wheelie! OK, not really. I wouldn’t make a habit of hauling lumber this long, but I had a 16’ deck to replace and sometimes you gotta get’er done!

 

I didn't have a bed extender but I did have extra D rings in the bed. Couldn't have done it with out them! I've also carried a couple 14 footers by sliding them into the cab through the sliding window.

 

Your extra D ring’s at the front of the bed? I needed those for sure! My load wanted to lift big time in the front.

 

I put D rings from a Dodge Sprinter van at the 4 bed mounting bolts. It's a great little mod if you haul stuff with your truck. Here are a couple links,

That’s awesome. Adding that to the must mod list. I’m always wanting tie downs on the floor near the front of the bed. Thanks!

Edit: Just ordered my Sprinter D rings!

 

Feeding cows

 

Helped my buddy move a container today. The 20' ones weigh about 5k. We winched it off the trailer and up the hill with my truck. The bobcat was able to turn it 90 degrees and slide it into place. We picked up on the corner and were able to get all the logs out from under it that we used to "roll" it around. Hooking to the top we were able to get it high enough to get stuff under it to level it on the low side.

 

I like this thread! Here is another with the unladen livestock trailer

 

Bump

 

Update?

 

Not much to speak of as just after bringing my Jeep home my wife and I got the Covid. We are fine and now about 95% recovered. I did put on a venting windshield (glass swings out). My plan is to retire from work in July and this will be one of my projects to keep me busy. I’m trying not to work on it in the meantime, and I can’t keep my hands off it!

Just now seeing this...that four wheeler looks like a fun machine!
