Well my camera phone kicked just when I was going to take a pic of my truck hauling 32 6x6x8 landscape timbers. DAMN oh well... at least I know it can do it. Of course I have no idea how much that weighed. And the tailgate held up too so now I know all those who question if they can sit on it are safe. Of course the whole way home I was waiting to hear that crash as my tailgate hit the ground, thank god it did not.
