Earlier this week I had to haul some 30' beams on my 16' trailer. 3 steel saw horses got them above my bed and I was good to go, except we loaded them the night before at 6:30 at night in the pitch dark. Still glad to have work, and I got to drop off my craigslist find 8.25 x 20s for my '47 2 ton off for remounting on my way!

Best pic I've got of the ol' gal doing work. 7000# trailer and. 700# in the bed. She was filling in for the company truck ('02 GMC) when it spent 2 WEEKS in the shop. My IDI has bailed that GMC out multiple times!

The engine in my son's Cherokee decided to pack it in (REALLY bad rod or main knock at only 83,000 miles). So the Crew Cab got a light workout, hauling it 50 miles to a cheap, good mechanic.

Yeah, when I got this truck about a year and a half ago it had very definite rust starting above the rear wheels on both sides. It wasn't too obvious in photos, but it was clear that it would be soon. It's actually a lot worse than it looks in pictures still. A little more concerning is that there are a couple of rust spots above the windshield.
This truck wasn't bought to be a project vehicle, at least not yet. It's a driver and it's going to get rustier going through Minnesota winters. In a few years I hope to get another truck that will be a project. I plan to get that one cleaned up better. Once that's done (if it actually happens) I'll decide if this truck becomes a project, is relegated to "beater" status or if I get rid of it.

Sorry for small size. It's from my Instagram. I use my 240 like a truck all the time. Had a fuel caddy, my tool box, full size spare, rear seats in, and ten 5 gallon fuel containers in it the other night. Here I have my tool cart and a load of stuff I picked up from a friend.
Here's a picture of me getting hauled around in one of our big Kubotas at work. I love hauling stuff. Did 1000+ lbs. of scrap in the f-150 like it was nothing.

Not a loaded OBS, but this is one I picked up for cheap. Been a good truck. put on a new hood, grill, added a hitch, trailer brake controller, in bed hitch, did head gaskets, 1.7 RR, long tube headers and free flowing exhaust.

Nothing seems to phase this truck so far...

I like your set up! Trailer is not too big or tall. And the door being in front of the trailer wheels...my favorite.
