So your doin one of those wall projects too. Always wondered how much the dakota could handle. Now I see. I have only been getting ten stones at a time plus several bags of base material.

holy crap thats alot of weight looks like it handles it pretty good too.


now it would look sweet if the whole truck sat that low.maybe add some stones in the engine bay to bring it down a lil bit

lol, ya frenchy, it rained on the way home and got lots of traction. I wish I could do bags on it so I could lower it like that but then have it go back up for when I need the hight to check on the property.

That's insanity but it's awesome! What's the payload rating on our trucks anyways? I bet that's over it.

Thats about what I had in our dakota, I figured about 2500lbs between sand, patio brick and the bricks for the burn pit.

I went to home depot and bought a 'pallet' of wooden fence slats because I had to put the fence back up after the hurrican tore it down.

I have no idea how much that weighs, but it got it all the way home!!
