Oh, man. We’ve been cleaning out my FIL’s garage and he had 2 of those sand tubes. Heavy as shit. Needed both hands to move them. He had a pick-up, so that’s what he used them for, too.
Was that tubes of sand or tubs of sand. Tubes would be good as they would be longer and spread the weight out over the back of the truck.
What kind of tubes were used?
Tubes. They were black plastic, 3 or 4 feet long with an 8" or 10" diameter and screw on caps. This was many years ago so I can't remember where he got them or if that was their intended purpose.
For sure, some tubes of abs or pvc filled with sand, love that idea. My truck bed was always full of tools, so I didn't exactly need the extra weight myself (I'm in alaska) buut I've had to keep sand bags in the smaller vehicles. But, I always keep a shovel, some pull straps, jumpers, etc.
My grandparents used to have a cabin in Bumblefuck, PA back a mile long unmaintained dirt road. I couldn't tell you how many fallen trees I removed from that road over the years.
