light weight was 6200. Took me two weeks to shovel it off and prep for the pavers. Then yesterday it was 1,000 lbs. of appliances. Used my motorcycle lift to get them off.

This is to let y’all know some of us town folk use our trucks as a truck too. Did some weed’n out back yesterday. Made a run to the “transfer station” (aka dump) today. As I said to someone questioning me…. “I Didn’t build this truck to just look at it”.
People ask me all the time why I drive my vehicles in Atlanta traffic, etc. I tell them I didn't buy them to save for someone else to enjoy after I'm dead.

66flea, sounds like you're saving your friend some money. Now he doesn't need to buy that high dollar gutter guard stuff. Wish you were closer, you could be my friend.
