Yup...got one at Harbor Freight for $50. Put a blue tarp underneath so it would pull easier. Moved 7 tons of gravel with it at about 1800 lbs per load. Worked great and saved so much time...and my back!!
They're $42 at Harbor Freight now and work really well! If you're lucky enough to have a plastic bed liner in our truck bed, you will be happy with it. If you have a sprayed in bedliner, you're not going to be happy. it's too abrasive. If you can find a plastic tarp to put underneath the load handler fabric, it will help.
The dog gets the like. Looking at videos for the Harbor Freight version and wondering how it would work with a camper shell. Guess it will have to come off.
Bro, For a little guy you are Hella strong; and you have tenacity. We can see that you are learning as you go along, I give you lots of praise; lots of "luv" Bravo! keep doing what you're what doing!
I would modify the crank end by adding a large nut to the end of the shaft. Use a ratchet and socket instead of your current crank. All your motion could then be downward, holding the tail gate down and using body weight instead of muscle strength. No lifting involved. I have a Snap-On ratchet with a removable head, I acquired a torsion bar from a wrecking yard and turned the end to fit the ratchet head giving me an extra long handle for more power at little cost. Plus it is extremely strong and works well as a longer lever for the ratchet.

I use a heavy ply sheet of plastic under the rolling tarp. This helps reduce the drag and makes it a little easier to crank.

Appreciate it 👍🏻💪🏻 thanks for watching!
Rhino ramps or jacking the front would probably help.

How did you modify it if you don't mind me asking
Those are made to be used without a nonslip bed matt , a slippery plastic bed liner works best
It looks like he has a bed liner in there
Few pushes with shovel and would Not need work as hard And I'd put tarp down bunch sand And grit in gears.
7:10 the dog is amazing lol
@@spineblaZe she loves the sand 😂
Can you take that rubber mat out that Aurore easier?
Harbor freight sells em for 50 bucks
Exactly what I thought!
Next time remove the rubber mat
Yup
Really don't want that weight on tailgate easy to shovel off from there.
