+1 93 chevy s-10 no muffler! lol

Bravo!

I put a set of Timbren rubber springs on my '08 extended cab. I don't haul far, or fast, but there's no need to tempt the local officials into getting me on their portable scales. Mine handles well loaded or not.

EnjoY!

Nice looking truck. Just watch the weight you put in it. I couldn't imagine moving wood around without a truck.

Good going. As noted above, you'll be able to fit more wood in that bed than its rated carrying capacity, so be careful when you fill it. Just keep an eye on the springs and tires and make sure you've got enough air in the back tires at all times. Its a half ton truck, alot more capacity than a Toyota 4 cylinder, but iots a light duty pickup and can be overloaded surprisingly easily.

Thanks for the advice but as you can see my crew inspects each truckload thoroughly.

Very cute . . .

. . . so they inspect the wood, but have you trained them to drive your truck, ATV, etc. like Loon has with Murphy and Emma?

They wouldn't be able to see over the steering wheel or reach the pedals!

I love the timbrens on mine. Makes it pretty easy to overload. Found that out the other day when I was at Menards getting pavers. I filled up what I figured would be a good load, then looked underneath to see the compression of the timbrens. I say to the garden guy, nah, I bet we can get just a few more in there. He looks underneath and at the tires and says, yeah, lets throw the rest of the 6x6 pavers on your order in this load. Well, a quick jaunt to the highway and the sidewalls have me squirley all over the lane. back it off to 45mph for the rest of the trip home and hope I don't have a blow-out. When I got home I did the math on the load (menards "projects" printouts tell you the total weight) and realized that I had 2400lbs on there.

Don't be that stupid. I was lucky to not blow a tire (I need new ones anyway, but that's dangerous).
