reg cab doin what trucks do

so i helped my dad get some wall block, not like the versa lok you see in the background but the small ones. well, we needed a lot. next thing i notice its full fromthe bed to the top rail. oooops, def rode on the bumpstops the whole way home, but oh well. this is what trucks are supposed to do

 

Got the leaf spring TSB? Props for actually using your truck!

 

not sure if i would trust the plastic bed with all that weight.

 

Doin work!

 

nah, just stock. and the TSB was no good for the reg cabs, and it was out the 3 year 36K for the tsb time period

 

holy hell....my dad way underestimated the weight of these block. he said boy that things squatting pretty good, thats when i explained about the 3 leaf pack so thats probably why. nooooooo that wasnt why. i just went online to see if they had specs for these block. truck was way way way overloaded, no wonder the damn thing was all over the road over 40 mph. each block weighs 25 lbs, each cap weighed 13 lbs...60 block, 32 caps...eeeeeesh. thats flirting with a ton in the bed. if i would have known they weighed that much, i wouldve told him we were making 2 trips. the little 4 banger hauled it ok but damnnnn not gonna do that again

 

I'd say that answers pretty well how durable the composite bed is... it's very strong.

Amazing it did so well but be careful overloading. If you were to get in a wreck you (or whoever is driving) could be held criminally responsible... be safe

 

I'd be more worried about the axle seals.

 

oh trust me, if i would have know how much weight was in there, i wouldve made the people unload half of it right back out of the truck haha

 

ive had my truck like that before filled all the way up with rock for our yard. did like 6 trips with it full every time like a lowrider hahaha

 

I've had about 1000lbs of salt in the back of my prerunner...could deffinatly feel it back there. I drove a chevy 2500 diesel with 2000lbs in the bed a couldn't even feel the weight back there. Maybe a little more bouncy than usuall but that's it lol. I wish our trucks could do that...

 

wow u must have been making a HUGE bowl of chicken soup.

 

Thats what trucks are for. right on! =)
