So I have a 2001 2500 Silverado long bed and I want to turn the bed into a pool.
What problems would I face driving this around town other than water flying out. I've heard its not good but I dont think the shocks are gonna blow. Or will they?
>why are you doing this? rreeeee
Its hot as fuck here at school.
You're a mad man, OP.
Do it OP

The water is going to be very heavy, if it doesn't bottom out the rear end it will be very taxing on the drivetrain and brakes. It will also be hard to drive because it's going to slosh, and there's a good chance you're going to get a ticket for an unsecured load.
Do it faggot.

And post pictures of blown shox in pooper

You need really heavy duty shocks and leaf springs or else that pool is going to make you look like a fool. Teeheehee
so I looked up some numbers
>bed length: 96.6"
>width: 63.7"
I couldn't find height on the long bed version but let's assume it's the same as the normal one, which is 19.5"
>let's assume you don't fill it all the way up and have 16" of water.
That means you have 56.97 ft^3 of water.
The density of water is 62.42 lb/ft^3.
>This means you have 3556 lbs of water with just a 16" depth.
I can't find the payload capability of the long cab version but the regular is 4000 lbs according to google
So you'd probably be ok but kind of pushing it if you're leaving the water in for a while
Do it.

That sounds about right.
Its just a ext. cab long bed. I think payload is around 3500-4200
But idk how many people are gonna be in the back i'd say another 800 to 1000lbs
So the entire circus seems to be around 4500lbs in the bed.
Fuck. This is gonna be on a campus too. We're gonna get swarmed because
>OMG A POOL!!!!
>>16649656
I read that.
Filled with buzzkill pussyshit
>>16649660
yeah the weight of the occupants would probably push you over the rating. Ultimately it's your truck, do what you want now that you have some numbers to back it up
>>16649682
I think max payload is also factored with highway speeds and stuff. Def not going on the highway or any major roads.
Its probably gonna be sitting most of the time. I'm not too worried. Only thing thats bugging me is the rear shocks
>>16649416
Do it faggot.
What could possibly go wrong
>>16649631
>>16649660
Max payload for OPs truck from what I've read is 3200-3500lbs
>>16649694
Worst that can happen is bad shocks and maybe tailgate getting stretched
Nothing catastrophic
>t. done this before
Are you gonna have a filtration system or whatever?
>>16649827
If anyone pisses, shits, barfs, or doesnt shower before getting in, my foot is gonna be up their ass.
>>16649827
He should just treat it like a kiddy pool and fill it up every so often.
Hell, I'd try to turn the blower into the jet stream for a jacuzzi. Bitches love jacuzzis.
>>16649852
Do this, OP.
Fuck your shocks
Do it neggar

Bonus points for plumbing exhaust into bottom of pool for heat and bubbles. Truckuzzi
