Any help would be great.

15 posts later and here is your answer (sorta).

I bought two of these:

Thank you all for all the help. this will be our first toad and is the reason i picked this type of pickup to use. for now i will use safety chains and will make sure all is done right. I drive log truck and always double check before i drive. again thanks to all.
