    Lacking conveyance of sarcasm through this series of dirty tubes. Damn you Al Gore.

    ... ^^^ ... And a heavy tarp under the plywood and drape it over the sides too. After being loaded, pull tarp back over load.

    But ... I would split the load in 2 parts, if at all possible, to be safe.

    Its a truck right, its meant to haul stuff right, make it two loads, take your time, it will increase your stopping distance.

    Some green fire wood can weight 5,000# a cord a Taco will not hold much over a 1/2 cord so you could have had close to 2,500# even if you half that it's still over loaded.

    I thought this thread started with the premise that a front loader was going to dump 2000lbs+ of river rock directly into the bed, this is a bit different than just loading up sack after sack of materials by hand....

    I have watched my trailer when a front loader puts a load in it, a careful operator can minimize the dump rate, but at some point it lets loose from the bucket, the wheels and axles actually deflect from the sudden load and the side of the trailer starts to bow....

    Meh.....

    I did 1,500 lbs of flooring in my tacoma. (35 boxes, 40lbs each, wood pallet, and 2 adults.). I had the rear TSB done. I would NOT do it again. I took back roads home about 8 miles. It just felt like way too much load for me. But, that's just my opinion.

    Which will help with overheating the tires over a longer drive. It really does nothing for overloaded springs, shocks, axles, brakes, etc.

    I just picked up two loads of river rock too. I put it buckets so I can easily dump it around my house foundation.

    I took this picture because I like the pre runner/stadium truck lower in the rear look. I was thinking of just lifting the front and installing a N Fab pre runner light bar and sliders. Does anyone know if just a front end lift would cause any problems?
