    And that most welders are well over 1000lbs and gas trucks don't like that much weight. I'm sick of getting extremely shitty gas milage.

    Anything on my truck is up for sale right now as long as I get a factory replacement

    Not sure if it would fit, but I would need a factory black bumper to put back on

    And that's good to know about the short bed. That's been one of my major concerns if I needed to extra bed space. I think I'm gonna put my welder on a platform so I can slide small things under it also

    It's from a dealer so I highly doubt he will know any of that. I'll change everything out then as soon as I get it

    How much weight can I put in the bed of my of double cab with two people inside? I have stock leafs, but they are only a couple years old, rather than 13 years old. Might be getting a pallet of sod...

    Standard pallet size according to Wikipedia is 48" x40", is that not accurate?

    Oh, good deal! Thanks! :cool: I think I'll call the place and see how much one pallet weighs. I don't want to overload too much!

    Well it turns out that my neighbor found a place that will deliver the sod for $25 cheaper than it would cost to transport it ourselves, so we are going to do that and spare my leafs :D
