Best way l have ever seen to haul and dump a HALF Of a TON of gravel. Have a "new-improved" model built in 2002 that could haul THREE WHOLE TONS on a One-ton pickup truck & could keep a cap on the truck at the SAME TIME !

The fort Mcmurray fire began during Beltane in the beacon hill subdivision. Historically, Beltane has been a pagan festival time of burning the old to bring forth new life of spring. May 1 is the anniversary of the Illuminati founding 1776. This fire actually began in the early hours of May 1 and got out of control May 3. Jasper fire began July 22 and bohemian grove cremation of care ceremony was the day prior. I see your video ends with a nod to this. Coincidences are all around us for those with the eyes to see. Nice work Dan! You’ve come around. I pointed out the Beltane thing back then and you weren’t ready. Glad to see you’re aware now. Keep up the fight brother!

The problem with his box is, where I live, the rock is loaded in my truck with a front end loader. The rocks would not all land in the wooden box. The rocks would go under the box, hinder the rollers and gouge the truck bed. I guess I could modify it to have ramped sides to cover more area.

Great idea! Have you added any more height to the sides of the dump? My reason is that in my area they use a front-end loader to put gravel in the bed. Taller sides would allow the gravel and other things, to not get jammed between truck box sides and slider. Great video. Keep on with the great suggestions and videos.

looks like a good way to break something. but affective. if you were to get any stone under it when loading you would probably be shoveling it out

One problem I see is that you get a trail of product instead of a pile. After you do the backup and dump, untie the restraint rope, and then pull forward just a little bit (don't let the sled fall off), then backup. This will start moving the sled towards vertical and thus making a pile instead of a trail.

@@jeremymarshall7034 Apparently you have never watched a truck being loaded by a tractor. The gravel doesn't just go where you want it to, it spills everywhere, and would jamb up any "sled" you would try to pull out.

You obviously don't buy much material.... by the bag is SO much more expensive! Buying in bulk is always the way to go IF you have a way of getting it to the place you wanna to use it. I laugh at some of my clients who buy bark or rock by the bag.... it is just so much more expensive than going down to the local bulk supplier.

So one would have to wonder why is it impossible to realize the removal of the tailgate and the addition of flashing to assist the superficial appearance of the truck. While completely negating the safety hazard and damage you're doing your suspension et al. It's no wonder no one considered driving a dig bar or several concrete stakes attaching a chain and driving away slowly until the bed has been pulled clear and dumped? Moreover I am curious why you would not remove the tailgate of the dump box before you back up like that truck didn't cost nearly $100,000?
