Damn would a 24 help with this pile. I like husky's but the new ones have such ridiculous start procedures. It like taking the 3 steps it should take and spreading it out over 8. A primer? Seriously? Just choke the think pull the cord till it turns over, release the choke and fire it up.

This is a pic of my 91 with a usual day of firewood. I have no idea how much it weighed but my buddys psd with half this load was almost dragging on the ground. My truck just road smoother. I have no idea what suspension is under the rear but when the truck is empty the suspension does not move at all. it is kinda like driving a dump truck

I should of took a pic when I had 2 tons of crushed stone in my truck. On the scale in the quarry was just over 10k pounds total. Was riding level with the factory 5 leafs, but I have big rubber stopers kind of look like air bags 
Rode pretty hard though. I sure did feel my lack of brakes when I had that load, my front brakes were almost metal on metal.
Load was maybe abit to heavy for my rusty box.... it crushed what was left of my cross members. LOL

I did tow 9K with close to 2K in the back once (if memory serves me). She handled just like the bed was empty.

hear is another small load. I am trying to find the pick of when my girlfriend put 3 yards of topsoil in the back. the loader operator called me to make sure it was ok. I told him to load it till the tires started to show. That was how much it took.

there is so much beetle kill here it is sick. We took 52 cords out of the same spot. Each time we just backed up a little farther. there were only 4 trees mixed in with the 250 that we cut that were still alive.

who says you can't "chip" and IDI?
couple wood chips.
feels good to be back to work.goodbye old man winter!
to pass inspection this rear,she required 4 ball joints,front and rear brakes (pads and shoes) working e-brake,rear shock mount broke off,so had to have that welded back on and two front tires.
front end alignment too.
i tell yeah,after so much maintenance it gets to ya lol.
once hooked onto the chipper and headed to work this morning,there was nothing but smiles.
plowing takes its toll.man.its worth having a plow truck too though,and worth the parts.
anyway,it's nice to have her all back in action.she seems to enjoy the new BB codes.
time to start rolling in more fuel economy results.
on another note;
the newly installed e-fans (installed during winter for plowing.) hardly broke a sweat.when they did turn on driving slow in the city,they sure didn't stay on very long.though its only just about 60 degrees today.not very warm or anything.
putting her to the floor on some long hills taching her up to 3k+ rpm didn't seem to bother her either.
cooooooool driving thus far.keep ya posted.

F250, I'm lovin' your "chipped" IDI!!
Here's some of my truck, I don't think I could live without a flatbed. I don't know what I would do with a pickup bed...except bang it, bend it, mangle it, and then ditch it for a flatbed anyways Not much here for heavy weight runs, but this is just some of the stuff my truck does to make "us" a living.
All these scrap metal runs are in the 2k range for weight. I think one of them was around 3k, but I don't remember exactly.
Yep, all that orange is overhang...
And yes, it was wider than my mirrors....
My heaviest load EVER.
Hauling the 95 F150 shortbed frame home for my '65 project. This chassis will be getting a Turbo'd 6.9 and my 65 cab grafted onto it. It's going to see MANY boosted launches
I had to load the truck myself, the dogs couldn't help lift anything high enough to get on the truck bed Yep, that would be my come-a-long winching a Dana 70 up onto the truck bed.
