Pool party or truck abuse?

Has anyone out here ever made a pool in the back of their truck? Please post pics!


All laughs aside..
what are the possible risks to doing this?
Could it damage the the truck?
What broke and why?
What was your experience?
Would you do it again?
Was it worth it?

 

Put some jack stands up under the frame first...

 

Driving on the road with people swimming in the back of your truck?

Can't think of any risks......lol

 

Yes, don’t drive with it going on in the back and put jack stand to brace the frame so you don’t mess up your rear suspension.

 

I've been in one but wasn't my truck. Was an old Ford with a nice big bed. Tacomas are too small

 

Everyone who does this myself included DGAF

 

Just be the guy buckled in and you’re good.

 

Hahaha. I knew someone would say that. Okay if we were to remain in park. Could it damage the frame? If a leak happened what electrical systems could be damger? Obviously unplug the battery first since we have the outlet in the back.

 

Thanks that’s a helpful helpful response!

 

cough

 

One of my fraternity brothers did that with his Tundra for a day drink. That thing was squatted super low with a bunch of people back there, water got gross fast.

 

Lol. Well I’m sure you’d car if it messed up the suspension after word

 

You worry too much. That outlet has rubber insulation and you need that tarp anyway lol or it will be one short pool party.
Like other said jack stands or cinder blocks under frame and you're good.
The water ain't hurting or do you never drive in the rain

 

You were the first helpful one thanks. Haha

 

With the 6' bed, there's aprox. 230 gallons to play with, which translates out to 1,920lbs.

What is amazing is that there's actually websites dedicated to truck bed pools.

Bed outlet.
Bed full of water.

I have a feeling I'll be reading about this in the news soon.

 

A long bed filled level with the bed would have about 2600lbs of water in it. The max payload is around 1200lbs.

 

No power unless truck is running.
