my Sport Trac hauls.....

[Thomas Church]

a whole lot of stuff!!!!!!



had to make a run to the Home Depot today in an attempt to repair my yard due to a recent in-ground pool installation. I ended up with all of the following either inside the cab or in the cargo bed:



30 bags of cypress mulch

10 metal edging (10 ft each in length)

12 tiki torches

1 wheelbarrow wheel

4 seat cushions

2 lounge cushions

1 sprinkler repair kit and assorted sprinkler heads

2 self-closing gate latches

1 metal yard rake



for such a "small" truck this thing does everything I need and more!!!! :lol:

The Trac's bed is about 1 yard. Here is a Trac with a yard of dirt in the bed.

A word of warning. If you have a stock suspension, I do not recomend doing what I have done. I have Airlift Airbags on my Trac.

good call on the mulch, i hope u used weed block under it, so u never have to pull weeds through the mulch.



i hate when i cut grass and i get the clipping in the pool, when i weedwack it and blow it

Man, I felt like singing "and a partridge in a pear tree" after that list!

Caymen,



You are right about carrying a load of dirt like that with a stock suspension. I did a similar thing in my 02 ST a couple of months ago and I have the stock suspension. I didn't do any damage, but she was sitting really low. It was also very tough to keep on the road, the back end was all over the place. It wasn't fun.



It all worked out though.

MTURocks,



Those airbags I have really work. If you, or anyone else, hauls alot of heavy stuff I do recomend getting Airlift Airbags.

Is the pool party in conjunction with the Dallas meet?

 

[Thomas Church]

I just have the stock suspension so I won't be loading it up too much more than I already have. I'll be picking up one pallet of sod tomorrow and probably another this weekend, then I should be finished! At least when I'm working in the yard I can do the Nestea plunge and cool off for a little bit.
