    this did not work to well for me today, had to do this twice, man did it suck trying to get it on the truck. took an hour to load each one off the gorund with the winch, a highlift, a 4 foot bar, and a bunch of blocks of wood. doesnt help the bed is narrower than the container and the bed has sides!

    then put this up in my personal shop, should be nice working on!

    Very nice Zach. I may have to come down and start borrowing your tools.

    To bring this back from the dead. Hauling top heavy loads like that on a slide bed is Very hard on the tracks and is a common cause of failure on that type of bed.
