Greg there is this funny little button called <Delete> USE IT!

You can't hold me to that kind of stuff....come on

 

hehe but think of all the black mail

 

I've seen the calendar girls. Shouldn't that be enough?

 

was this one of them?

 

i dont use any type of traction just throw into 4wd real quick if i need it then just go back to 2wd when not needed basically mean i'm in 4wd like 15% of the time because the new tire help a ton

 

I am soooo gonna KILL her for that!!!!

OK I'm over it now.

Greg you'll get your's don't you worry about it.

 

What do you have on there now? Are those the stock Michelins in the bed? I've got to get the stockers off mine soon too.

 

I use 5 gallon buckets ( with lids ) that I fill with water

A gallon of water weighs about 8 lbs, so each bucket weighs about 40 pounds. It's really easy too because when it's dry out I just hafta dump the buckets and I'm good to go instead of having to hump blocks around. When it get's snowy, I just fill the buckets up with the hose and I'm good to go. You can run about 5 of em across the back of a truck in a straight line ( 200 lbs )

 

I ended up adding about a dozen concrete blocks to the back end of my bed and that seemed to make a big difference. It still hops a little bit when climbing steeper hills in deep snow. I got to test that as we got another 4 to 6 inches last night. I know it seems stupid to some of you guys to add weight, but I used to have an 86 Ford Ranger super cab 2wd and if I put a few concrete blocks in the back it would go through 8 inches of snow no problem and that only had Kelly Safari AWRs. After that and seeing how my Ram does I am disapointed that it does not do better in snow and slick road conditions. Even the slightest grade is a challange to get started on, and that is with studded snow tires! GRRRRRR

 

i always use 4x4 when needed, but its funny that i see a post about weight in the truck bed..... yesterday i had a little over a yard of broken concrete in my bed i figured it being just a little over 4000 pounds.... my back bumper was lower than the cars next to me in traffic
