ShurTrax Bed Weight?
I'm thinking of getting ShurTrax Bed Weight. What do you guys think?
Before, I've used sandbags, but they are starting to fall apart. I also hated when they would slam around in the bed from turning, and stopping hard.
I don't want to just fill the bed up with snow, as I don't want that much water to melt in the bed.
Suggestions? Thoughts?

Well, water weighs a little over 8.6 pounds per gallon so it seems like a good way to add weight for the winter and it appears to have internal baffeling to prevent sloshing so that's a good thing. The downside is that it renders your bed unusable for the entire winter. No matter how tough they claim it is I doubt you can toss a tool box (or anything else) in there on top of it. Also, I wouldn't want to park on an incline when it's going to get below freezing at night or you'll wind up with a very off center weight in the bed. Other than that it seems like a good idea.
Personally, I toss a few of bags of marble chips from Home Depot in the bed in the fall and in the spring I use them in my garden.
