Default Bed weights

Hello all:

I am looking at getting a set of weights for the bed of my truck like this:

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...amp;hasJS=true

But, these ship straight from the manufacturer and they don't ship to Canada. Anyone out there know of any other manufacturer that makes something similar? I found a set in Canada but the design requires that the bed is drilled and I don't want to do that. Thanks.

im sure you have already thought about it but those seem kinda expensive...... sand bags or cured ready mix concrete/mortor would make a cheaper alternative[:-]

May want to get cheap concrete paving stones. I have about 4 dozen in the back of my truck right now. I actually got them for in front of my shed, but I may leave them in there for a while. They're 6"x9"x2" and weigh about 11lbs each. cost $0.99 each. so that's 48 bucks for 528lbs.

230.00 for THIS ?!?!?



I have about 6 buckets with lids that I put in the bed of my truck. When I need the weight, I fill em with water. Now each bucket weighs over 40 pounds ( 1 gallon = about 8 lbs ). When I want to get rid of the weight, I dump the buckets and stack em. It couldn't be easier, and less expensive.
