Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

What is that, a 5 ft cargo bed pretending to be a truck?

Well, the sheetrock comes to about the end of the tailgate. So that implies it is probably the 6.5' bed.

Even a "REAL TRUCK"™ with an 8' bed would still be a failure trying to haul those long boards in that manner.

That's one way to change the oil I suppose.

Good thing it had a full load of water back there!

Hamer bumper from the Philippines. Not a great reputation for strength and quality control. Looks good when cruising around town.

Wow. Just... wow. I hope the sticker is made of tougher stuff than the bumper, so it's still there when it matters!

Talking to my older brother today, he said our Dad used to tie long lumber to the axles/undercarriage of his truck and drive down the highway with it sticking out in front and rear.

I have known people to do that. With pipe too.

On what planet doesn't an 8' board fit in an 8' bed.

I drove my VW Golf wagon to the shop to buy 10' lengths of 1/2" threaded rod. The sales person saw my car, and said "usually' people come in a pickup for these...". They slid up neatly into the front passenger footwell, and I closed the backhatch with room to spare. I replied to him, as he helped me slide them in: "these fit completely inside the car, they'd be hanging out the back of an 8' bed in a pickup. He laughed and agreed!

Axles? So the lines went slack every time he went over a bump? You'd think the rebound from a bump in the road would create enough force that a strap tied over the body from an axle might create enough tension to crease the bodywork.
