If you buy it for me I'd say its worth it. View attachment 25148
I really don't know if its worth it or not. I know very little about 1911's
I'll trade ya for a couple gallons of milk and four loaves of bread...
Brilliant idea.As long as the bags are still sealed it shouldn't be a problem...or put them in a couple big rubbermaid totes to keep the water out.
Would be a good test for my Line-X Premium bedliner!People will steal your bags of salt. Just saying....
And don't using anything like cement blocks, iron, hard stuff with edges. You have to stop suddenly its going to hurt when it hits you.
Brilliant idea.
Salt isn't *that* expensive but people would really steal them out of the bed of a truck? That's ............ saddening on so many levels.

If I were going to use cement blocks or iron or anything like that - I would tie it down good. The bed has those movable tie-downs which are really nice [love them].
Yep, I agree with DB, Salt may get lifted.
That's just sad...We had the bed of the truck full of split wood. Stopped at Home Depot for Chain oil. Came out and 3 Mexicans were eyeballing the wood. They had stopped behind my truck and were out looking in the bed. A few shouts and threats they took off.
These days people will steal "ANYTHING"

You want to put it over the wheels for best traction too. Neighbor had 500 pounds of sand in his truck for added weight. He spun out on I94 last week in the storm and went into the median...the sand bags all flew around and busted his tailgate in two! His truck is pretty screwed up overall, but couldn't believe those bags did that to the tailgate...blew it right in two!
That's just sad...
Sometimes I feel there is no hope for this world.
Sound advice there!
Howdy mom!
I planned on tying it down between the wheel humps right over the axle as not to create a lever with the truck body itself [i.e. reducing downward pressure in the front or increasing it [and, as such, not putting as much weight over the back wheels].You want to put it over the wheels for best traction too.
500 pounds of anything slamming into something else is going to cause some damage. Hopefully the hinge is OK - I know the tailgate on my truck comes off pretty easily- you undo the tailgate and take it down to like 45 degrees and pull off the one side then back up to like 60 degrees and the other side slides off. It's difficult enough it won't happen on accident but simple enough that it's not a pain.Neighbor had 500 pounds of sand in his truck for added weight.
