Pics of me towing stuff

3 tons of parking bollards

Friend of mine got his truck stolen. Damn thieves pried open the doors of his service truck and stole all of his tools. Couldn't have him driving around with no doors so I helped him out by giving him this service body for his truck.

He's all set up now and calls it the Smoky the Bear bed.

Sucks for your friend, thieves can rot.

I'm always fan of Forest Service utility bed. Not too high and still put 4x8 in.

It looks good. :dustin:
 
Nothing too exciting, but some of the junk that I have dragged around the state.

And it's not towing, but one of an engine that I collected which was a "get it out of here yourself" sort of deal, and had to take the crane with me.

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Sorry for the crappy pic, all I could find on short notice. It's from the movie Out Cold.

I was trying to remember the name of that movie too! lol
 
Finally got rid of the 06 CTD I bought new and bought me a new 21 Duramax this year. I figure keeping a truck 15 years is enough..

Love the truck. The 10 speed is pure sex for towing.

The heaviest one is only about 18k amd that's the blue one behind the dually. The rest are 12-14.

My truck is rated for 14.5 off the ball hitch

If I had drove any further, this would probably belong in the BDL thread. Especially with the roads all being snow and ice. :laughing:

4k lbs trailer, ~1k frozen clay, 8k of base rock.....seemed to handle it OK, it was less than 2 miles, should have used 4low.

My old truck chained the bus bumper to bumper and dragged it 5 miles of dirt roads, met the wrecker at pavement to haul to scrap yard
 
From a month or so ago. Loaded my dad up with a lot of fresh shag bark hickory. His Ford wasn’t inspected so he beat on my Chevy all day. :laughing:

Poor F150 getting a workout, well not really, it handles this stuff great actually.

Getting parts to fix the 97. ~230 miles each way, 4k steel 22' tilt deck. 80 mph in 6th no problem. 65 mph back in 5th @ 2100 95% of the time. Occasionally 4th at 2800, 2 or 3 times in 3rd at 3500. Didn't even bounce around much and I think I pulled the truck too far up. Air bags would have been nice to get rid of the Cali lean, but it really wasn't bad.

That was one of the first aluminum 1/2 tons. I had a steel 14 made in 8 of 14 and this aluma made in 3 of 15. Took this pic while loading up with methanol. Only filled each tank 1/2 way to evenly distribute the weight. The trailer alone weighed over 10K loaded. Went 22 miles but didn’t get over 55 mph. Truck pulled it fine but the truck was easily pushed around by the trailer. Statute of limitations is up on hauling a hazmat quantity of a flammable liquid with a truck not rated to haul the weight.

How was the slosh being half full? :laughing:

Even a 500 gallon water buffalo that half full will let you know it's back there. But those tanks are more flat on the front and back. Yours being sideways maybe softened the blow?

Thought it was fine till I stopped at the first stop sign. After stopping and taking off again the trailer was yanking the truck around. Something I’d prefer not to do again. Those are 400’s and I put about 200 ea. Wouldn’t want to do again, didn’t want to do it then but oilfield emergency’s get us doing sketchy stuff.
