You'll remember that three weeks ago I said that i had 3000lbs in the box of my 1/2 ton Ram, well today I had 2700lbs of sod in the box.  Here is a pic:

I always wondered...when you see cars sagging with so much weight at the back end, does that hamper suspension travel and what not for future driving?

My family has hauled a cubic foot of dirt in our 97' silverado and i once hauled 2 cubic yards and about 900 lbs of flat rock on a trailer and it never hurt anything,

Now when we hauled the dirt in the bed it made turning real fun

Good to see you're using your truck for what it was made to do

Now let's see your instant lawn.

Good to see you're using your truck for what it was made to do

A month rarely goes by where I don't haul something that weighs at least 500 lbs.  Since the beginning of May I have had 5 loads ranging between 2000 and 3000 lbs and 2 loads around a 1000 lbs.  I still need to haul in a load of bark mulch (around 1500 lbs) and a few more trees.  Then we are selling this house and moving to our new house that we are building 25 minutes outside of the city, and I will be doing this all over again next summer...only the new yard is 3 times larger   .  We're also buying a fairly large tent trailer that sleeps 8 for camping during the summers.  I also take her off-roading fairly often during the summer and fall.

Finally someone uses it for what it's supposed to be used for.

Now let's see your instant lawn.

Maybe on Tuesday.  It's starting to get dark now, and the Stanley Cup Finals start tomorrow night so that's a write-off.  GO OILERS GO!!!

So where are the off-roading pics?
