I type that way as well .... What this (....) is ... is known as a caesura... defined as a timely pause or a strategic silence.

It's seems to piss others off
which actually. ..I like
......makes me do it more...
....haha
So, what you are basically saying to the entire forum here is that not only is your irritating typing style deliberate, but you actually faked a handicap in order to gain sympathy? Wow!

Nah, unlike some, I enjoy reading your ignorant babble. It's kind of like an Archie comic, in slow mo

Thanks Monte, I'm ordering some today.
Awesome, you'll be bringing you're P5 on the next ride correct? So I imagine you'll load it in the truck bed and these will help. We're riding the weekend of the 7/8 of January.

Yes sir, bringing the 500. I'll be ready. Just got the new light bar , switchs, and winch delivery. I should have it all installed by then. :D

Went for a snowy ride today. P5 loaded backwards. It went in easy and rode fine in the back of the truck. I'll feel better when I get those DG tailgate supports.

C2cc833447550aabbb6a179bd02e40a3 Back it in. My tires hit back of bed. Tail pipe is 1 inch from glass so watch that!! I think more weight is on back of machine so less on tailgate.

Made a set of tailgate braces from 3/16" thick flat bar by 2" wide and iirc 27" long. Took the torx head tailgate latch bolts out of the side of the truck box (went to hardware store and bought matching thread bolts and nuts). Then took the torx latch bolts and with hardware store nuts fastened to tailgate end of brace so it would latch into tailgate. Took the same thread bolts I bought and fastened the flat bar to the other end into the truck box (where the torx latch bolts used to be). Very similar to the DG supports, only better as they are CUSTOM by me! Hahhha... truth be told I couldnt find any (DG ones) in my town and wanted to haul my P5 with the blade on to the farm property to plough snow. Work awesome. I also have a plywood base in bottom of bed on my F250 96 short bed extracab powerstroke. To add strength I placed some 1" angle iron on the edges of the plywood to disperse weight across bed and tailgate. So far so good. My concern is bending the bottom tailgate hinges, but so far the design is working. Just lift blade up, back P 5 in box, cinch down rig with ratchet straps over each wheel, secure snow blade from moving either up or down, store folding ramps under machine voila!

Backed in because only rubber makes contact with the truck bed. ;)
