    The loaded truck pictures are really nice, but what Kamo said is the best. Great job, dad.

    It's easy when it's green, but it toughens up bad when it dries.

    If you get the HarborFreight cargo unloader for less than $40 with a coupon, you don't need a dump trailer. It works amazing for rounds, splits, soil, gravel, up to 2000lbs which is more than my Tacoma can carry.

    I have had to exchange one unit since the plastic loop that holds the strap broke. It has since happened a second time....but the clamps stay on unless I pull on the pole when opening and closing the tailgate. Well worth the price paid. It has saved me a lot of effort and every time I show it in action people are amazed and guess that it costs $200+.

    I have friends and relatives who get a new truck and they keep it like it’s a museum piece. I say use it, why pay all that money and not use it? Around here the rust is gonna ruin your truck so run the heck out of it!

    I know several guys who have to have the biggest, baddest truck. Leather seats, biggest engine choice offered, tow package, trim package, etc. $60-$70k+trucks. Then they never use it to tow or haul anything other than some fishing lures. Kinda comical actually. Not to many people who own pickups actually use them as they are intended anymore.

    I saw a lady at the dump the other day with one of those. She was unloading a pickup bed full of leaves. Pretty slick.
