I was hauling a couple yards of mulch in mine this weekend, its a pain to clean out though. Thats how mine looked with a ton of metal fencing in the bed lol, the suspension was groaning big time.

Seriously! I haul mulch, sod, patio stone, boxes, anything you can think of. I like to keep my truck looking good play with/in it and use it.

Yeah, I wouldn't have bought a truck if I wasn't going to use it to haul. A few weeks ago I filled the bed up with 3/4 minus since we have a huge mound of it in the yard at work. That and wood are the only things I've hauled with this truck.

Sry, didn't have my camera with me, was kickin myself in the butt for that. No, it didn't scrape, but the axel was resting on the frame. Didn't have to go very far though.

I almost always use the trailer. Its so much easier to load and unload it a foot off the ground instead of way up into the bed. Also last time I had dirt in the bed I accedently scratched the fender with the shovel.

talk about using a truck for what its made for... "treating a truck like a car" seems to be what your purpose is. i take care of my truck sure... but i'm not gonna spend hours polishing, detailing and buffing the paint by hand.

I dont want my truck looking like ****, so therefor if I can avoid scratching it im going too. I dunno if you know this but I paid $14,400 for that truck. Im going to baby it and treat it nice so it lasts me a long time.

i suppose if i baby'd my truck, it'd still be stock. everytime something breaks, stops working, gets torn off, or crushed- it usually will be replaced with something of higher quality or completely different. so my hats off to you.
