Cool thread, heres a few ive snapped over the years.

The load of wood is probably the heaviest ive been able to haul since lowering. Although those stumps and limbs were heavier than i thought they would be.

This roof clip wasnt heavy at all but it made for some interesting handling characteristics above 60.

Especially parking in MY neighborhood!

I carried a motorcycle and a full-sized pinball machine (not at the same time) in my camper:P

I carried 6600lbs of building debris to the dump last year in the back of my fathers 3/4 ton pickup. I thought the front wheels were going to lift off the ground. It got it there.

I don't have a pic on this computer but imagine a forklift setting my $9000 snap-on tool cabinet,(7'x4 1/2'x30") with another $15k worth of tools in it, in the bed of my '59 s/c rust bucket. Strapped down and doin' 60 mph down the I-17. WHEEW! Talk about rubber neckin'!!
