Speaking of Hellcats; I see that many can outrun the Arkansas Highway Patrol cars--150mph+. Not all, but many.

 

[Too many Kubotas]

A regular Challenger Hellcat is supposedly good for 199 mph, and the Redeye 203.

Here most cop cars are limited to about 120 mph, so it's not really a fair fight. Especially with their no-chase policy.

Some kid in Nashville decided to check your specs......

Hmmm, 8000# of skidsteer on a trailer that is probably rated to carry 5000# (2x 3500# axles under a trailer that weighs 2000# empty).
What could possibly go wrong...

I wanna know how they got it in there without destroying the tailgate...

A bigger forklift.
@WinterDeere it's probably a Toyota 7FB which is around 6' long and would weigh around 5700#.

Also note the slot in the overhead FOPS to allow lifting the battery out to swap batteries:

Dude... time to rent a trailer or pay for delivery!

Just throw a cooler or something similar on the front of those boards to hold them in place and put the hammer down. It'll ride. Don't forget a red shop towel stapled to the low end of the boards for safety.

Looks like the body is starting to wrinkle already. Look at the reflection below the tail light above the upper corner of the forward section of the bumper. I would imagine the tailgate is pushing the fender corner down and forward which, once he goes over a bump, will become a lot more pronounced I'm sure.
Any idiot that does something like that deserves what he gets.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
