Cool. I like my LoadHandler, too, though it's a lot more work.

I had one of those a LOVED it.
It's certainly a lot less work then shoveling.

I unloaded, easily, over 100 tons with the thing and it was still going.
I miss it.... and my truck.

What the... how come I've never seen one of those before? Sheeit, I'm sold!

2 Caveats:

1) If you have one of those "lovely" sprayed in bedliners, it won't
work as-is. You'll have to get the $lip-$heet they sell.

2) If you have no liner, a second load of gravel will scratch the ****
out of your paint. DAMHIKT. (I'm getting a drop in liner. I ran with
one for 17 years and it was as good the year I sold the truck as the
year I installed it.) I have a rubber mat down now, which I have to
remove to use the LoadHandler. A 5x7' poly tarp allows it to slide
more easily on the scratched floor of the bed.

The week after I paid $70 for mine at Schucks auto Parts, they went on
sale at Bi-Mart for $40. DO look for sales. (eBay is out, too pricy)

If you ever break the right side bracket (heavy load), ask for a left
side bracket with bumper strap to replace it. These things are
guaranteed and LJ will ship the replacements free (1 experience), so
just do it!
