how do you keep your sandbags from moving around??
i just put my sandbags back in my truck but they keep slideing around.
i want them to stay over the axle on each side, i had a thing built out of 2x4's last year but it always moved on me and flew up into the 3rd brakelight when i had to come to a fast stop. i have four bags but i only have two in now.
any ideas would be helpful
also a few pics of this thingy my gf got me, i hung it from my mirror lol.

If those were hitting your back window when you stopped.........I'll just leave that alone....LOL
O.k, I see you have a bedliner. As stated previously, there should be slots before and after the wheel wells to slide in a 2x6.....why 2x6? You could even go 2x12's, anything tall enough to keep you weights from jumping over them. Mine have never come out of the slots, but eveyone has different stories.
That will keep your weights from moving around. Remember, you want the weight over the rear axle, not behind it. Common mistake for most. For more info and examples of how much weight.....before you ask......click the SEARCH button. This has been discussed a million times before around this time.

But they sell little things that lock in your spaces of the plastic bedliner, i will see if i can find some, they wedge in there and you can mount your tool box with them so it doesnt slide around..

Yes they are ment for water to freeze. Bladder and water go in in the fall.......water freezes for the winter.......when you take it out in the spring, the water is unfrozen and out it goes. People need weight in thier trucks bed in the winter.....2wd or 4wd....a pick up is a pick up.....light in the @ss.
Some people use weight, others don't....to each thier own I guess.
