Unloading may be a bit like Jenga.
That’s a pretty creative loading strategy.

**JDL** · 11-30-2023, 09:48 PM

It was fairly simple loading. Loaded the pickup 1st than cut 2x10s bords to 1.5' and 2' put the 2' down 1st a stacked the 1.5' ones on top all screwed to gather. jacked up the truck and set the stack under the tires and screwed that to the deck. The slid the frame under. and reversed it all to unload.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-30-2023, 11:49 PM

Actually a good catch. And I'm glad its going to a good home.
