was praying my bed wouldn't collapse!
 
I loaded 51-16"X16" pavers in the bed of my truck today plus 5-50lb bags of paver sand. Each paver weighs 32lbs. That's 1882lbs total. When the forklift was loading it in the bed I was praying the bed supports (from body lift) wouldn't collapse under all that weight. Made it fine and actually drove like a fricking Caddy. Smoothest ride ever in a truck.

I snapped a picture with all the weight and one after we unloaded it.

Wow, that was quite a bit of weight in the bed. But the truck didn't squat that bad for all that weight in the bed.

Yeah Nick does have a sweet ride. Must say one of the elite few that I am actually jealous of. Probably has to do with the fact that I have the same year and model as he does and his just looks a million times cooler. Nick those Grapplers are starting to look a little thin. Is the new city life not treating them as well? And how is the wife and your baby?

Yeah, there is only enough rubber left on them for the better part of this summer. But They have lasted 3 Winters and this is the 3rd summer so not too bad all in all, however I did notice it start to wear faster now that I do a lot of city driving.

Wife and baby are doing great, Mom went back to work 2 weeks ago and the little one is getting bigger every day. 12 weeks old tomorrow. 12 weeks is going to turn into 12 years and 12 shotguns faster then I can reload a dozen bullets.:rolleyes:

Xjay, I plan on de badging it the next time I give her a wash. Give ya a couple of pics then. Probably be this weekend.
