I’m thinking of building one of these for the tiny truck.
My 35' bumper pull toy hauler weighs 12k fully loaded. 1.5k worth of tongue weight. I easily have 1k spare of payload & axle capacity on my single rear wheel F350.View attachment 781754
Would it have been better to just buy a toy hauler?
I wonder if he uses a catapult to launch the boat
And a motorcycle/scooter hanging far out on the lever.When are dealers/mfg going to stop selling camper setups like this? So much overhang which also includes a slide out and its extra frame weight. Jon
If there was a splice in the frame rail then there would be a splint and that area would be the strongest part of the frame.Torn in a clean line straight down, it looks like the break is where the frame is spliced. Maybe for varying wheelbase models? Then they welded the bed mount right on that splice.

Shingles are pretty darn heavy by the pallet. It's been 30+ years since I've hauled them, but I am thinking they are close to and possibly more than 3500# per pallet. The first pallet was centered just slightly ahead of the axle and the second one was completely behind the axle. Having said that, I once hauled 12,000 pounds of bricks (4 full pallets) on a one ton dually Chevy 70 miles mostly freeway.From a couple pallets of shingles?!?!
Wonder if the forklift pushed down on the back of the bed?
Yikes
