    Why don't you just do that again at least you still have 3/4 of your bed left

    I don't have any 55 gal. drums anymore. That was about 18 years ago in New York.

    You also have to consider that I've had two major spine operations, one in October and one in March. Lifting heavy things isn't in my near future. I rarely haul stuff in my truck, so it tends to "hop", or bounce, on the highway. Pisses me off. I like the idea of this flat, heavy-duty bag of water in the back to add 400 lbs. for year-round stabililzation. I can make a platform of 3/4" plywood to sit over the top of it to protect it and give me some bed floor back.
