Anyone have photos of how you carry 4x8 sheet goods?

Depends on how big the forest is.

 

Halfway. The other half you’re walking out of the forest.

 

See my post #141

 

You have definitely never been out trying to find the perfect camping spot with my wife. We can put 80 miles on the odometer in a 10 square mile forest driving around in circles... too flat, too hilly, no view, no privacy

 

Happy wife. Happy camp site.

 

Proof, the boss works you like a dog

 

Make her hike in to camp. Sore feet make every site look better.

 

Nice recommendation!

Grabbed the stuff at Lowes. 2 pack of Reese 5/16in shackles for $4 and 2ft of 1/4in chain. Seven links each side.

 

I took the boat out with that setup. Pretty nice, but my little 10ft boat is more than half the width. I need to get measurement of my friend's to see if they will both fit.



Reeled in a few:



And, kludged up a rod holder:

 

i just rent there truck for $19 the first 90 min and not have to sleep in the truck in the parking lot to watch other people load at 6am ..

And crap this was a long read......

 

Can you post a close up of how you are connecting the chain to the tailgate? I’m trying to figure it out but a bit confused. It looks pretty simple but after looking at mine I’m confused lol

 

Subbed.

 

Put the chain into the locking mechanism then close it (rotate it) .

And don't use your tailgate handle until you want the chains out.

 

I just figured that out!! Thanks!

 

Nice!

 

Made this rack out of 3 scrap 2x4s. I made a swivel to a 3 rail on the tail gate. You can then tie your load down using the D hooks next to the tail gate. It then hangs on a framing nail in the corner of the garage. Redneck but it’s worked for years.

 

My father-in-law's patio stairs are shot and we had talked about replacing the stringers and treads this summer... Then I thought about how the hell to get the 2x12's home... I'm probably just being overly paranoid at the moment but putting a 12' board in the back of my 5' box is a little iffy. I'd only be traveling a couple miles (no highways). Would you just strap it down and flag it, and pay extra attention when backing into the driveway .

I could borrow a friends regular cab POS with a 8' box, that could be easier... It's still gonna stick out but it won't be like 7' out the back.
