A little late to the party, I know, but here's mine from last weekend. Not the heaviest load, but the fun factor makes up for it:
There's a fourth on the far side of the copper bike in the back.

This is before heading out for last years elk hunt. Two Arctic Cat 450's, one generator, 25 gallons of water, BEER, and all the rest of my hunting gear. Didn't have any luck but had a great time. This was before I did the 6 liter tune and my truck wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. 6 liter tune is done, now I need to do a complete new exhaust.
Oh yeah, I stopped at Discount Tire before I left to have all of the tires checked and aired. They know me there and were joking with me that that was the largest amount of tires they had to check on one vehicle.

Is it self contained? I've never had a slide in, so I'm not sure if any of them are. I'd like to be able to camp on the beach, but state law states the camper would have to be self contained.
I'm most likely going to install bags too, can't hurt for towing and the camper.

well my account at photobucket got terminated so i'll tell you about my load. long bed full of wet oak, about 3,005 pounds. long bed sized trailer heaped and i mean HEAPED full of wet oak, 6,243 pounds, yeah overloaded just a tad. suprising part was it looked like midnite's truck in terms of spring sag. which brings me to my question midnite what springs you got on it? is it the 4 spring or 5 spring pack
As you can see, she was a tad nose heavy...
(Notice the license plate holder aka 2 random wires...lol)

It's time to clean up the old derby stock pile.... So off to auction goes a 69 IH frame, 05 dodge frame, 20+ steel rims, 20 tires/rims, lots of scap for the core buyers (20+ batteries, 5 radiators, 2 buckets of rods/pistons, 1/4 bed of starters/alts/dists/fuel pumps/intakes/15-20 alum rims......... And when I get back to the shop ill be loading about 20 sets of heads, a few converters, a couple more batteries, whatever I think I can sell better there than locally.
