Hi :)

We did it again many years later in my buddies F150. Early 90's truck. Stayed parked in the yard though. We even opened the tailgate with him still in the bed full of water. It wasn't as dramatic as one might think.

Redneck fun knows no bounds, and it rarely thinks ahead for safety sake. What fun is in that?

My Dads home state is illinois =)

About what year was it when you made a truck bed swimming pool in your friends F-150 and what year was his f-150 did it have a v8 and 4wd. Was his truck parked on level ground. Did he stay in the bed when all that water came rushing out.

The "42" quote comes from the famous sci-fi comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. In the story, a supercomputer named Deep Thought calculates that 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything". [1, 2, 3]

Will my springs, frame and tires be not damaged ?

My Dad doesn't really like all that weight of the water being in the bed of my ranger because my drivers side is not level and My Dad doesn't want any damage to happen to my truck.

Frame would be fine.

Tires likely would be too.

But springs would take the brunt of it...and if youre parked on an incline your poor park pin....

and if youre parked on an incline your poor park pin....

You dont need that.

 

[rusty ol ranger]

You dont need that.

When youre like me and dont own anything with a functioning parking brake....

I guess you could be really really fast with a 4x4 wheel chock lol

 

[Gary DuBois]

How much weight of water do you all think is in the bed of my ranger

 

[pentode]

Curious Hound gave a good estimate above: ~2000 lbs.

Even if it's only a foot deep it's going to be ~1500 pounds.
