Default hauled a hot tub.

thats right, i hauled a hot tub, that i got for free, home in the bed of my truck. i was very amazed at the way my truck handled(not that i should be). it acted like there was i driving it to work or something.

but before loading it in the bed i did manage to find out i need new tire on the back(after tearing up my friends yard).

it is a huge 3 person hot tub, weighs more than 500lbs(it broke the brand new 500lb straps i had bought) and it took my mom, my brother, my dad and i to lift it. i'll have pics tomorrow.

now i'm definitely never ever going to sell my truck...

the first one about a month ago was on the bed of the truck since it had no fame. the second one was in the bed.

that was this morning i had it strapped down when i hauled it home, i just took the straps off so they wouldn't get stolen since they were very expensive.
