    that's a shocker of a load, you brake hard and half that stuff would go flying.
    you'd get pulled up and fined for that around here, but regardless of the fine,
    common sense would tell you your overloaded?

    why don't you make some side gates?
    i'm not impressed at all, $25 worth of scrap steel is not worth killing someone for it.

    The picture doesn't show the straps that were put back on after it was taken. There is a total of 5 heavy duty ratchet straps. The truck has additional springs along side the stock springs to allow it to carry more and be a lot firmer!

    Enough ratchet straps and you can secure dam near anything, I don't know bout you guys but here in the states it ain't overloaded til the weight is enough to blow the tires out. Just my 2 cents worth tho
