That's awesome. I don't know if I'm down for overloading myself, but to each his own. Better your truck than mine, right?

Your bragging about this?

You realise your just proclaiming your idiocy? Hah, I guess I shouldn't have to ask, you do it again and again all over this forum.

Your front wheels are about to come off the ground, your truck is on the bump stops, the load isn't tied down, and by the looks of it your P rated tires are about to burst.

If I were you I wouldnt try that again. Since it was just 3 or 4 miles, make 2 trips. Would be alot safer that way.

I once tried something like this...... loaded the bed of a '86 D-50 over the top of the cab with firewood. had that jacked up front look too.
It worked great till i hit a rainstorm, and found out the front tires had no traction.
Lesson learned.

My transmission didnt go out because of this... it was because of another one of my great idot ideas. every day after school for about 6 months i would do brake TQ's then i saw how much tires cost and i stoped. but i guess that was enogh to blow up frist gear. Lots of smoke and black marks thoe Well anyways back to droppin the tranny
