Default Why I'll never drop a truck.



Moved a hurricane-damaged hot tub across town for a buddy. If you have one of these in your bed then no one will tail gate you.



Only scary part was driving across 3 Mile Bridge from Gulf Breeze into Pensacola as the wind was blowing out of the west. We still managed to do about 60 mph with us rocking and rolling.

See, that is WHY I'd drop a truck. So friends wouldn't always ask me to move their **** for them.

I'll stick with my 4/8 drop/tonneau cover/bed rug setup

That's why I have friends like you . My truck is low but it's still serves me as a truck as far as carrying/hauling stuff around, my air shocks have done wonders.

I'm wanting to drop mine and that's what I was thinken about doing too.
I figure if I drop it i'll get the look, and if i put some load levelers on it as well, then I can still tow without draggin ***.

just run some helper bags. It'll look good and you can still tow fine.

It was a slick tub at the house I rented before Ivan pegged the house with 3 feet of salt water (storm surge). The buddy who is new owner of it is planning to refit it. Hopefully the hot tub misadventures will resume on the cheap

I converted my tub to 220v, new pump, and new piping for under $500. I did the work myself. And you're right if I had been behind you on the 3 mile bridge I wouldn't be tailgating, people can't drive on that thing anyway.....but if it had flown off maybe it would have landed on the sherrifs radar gun at the end of the bridge.
