Transporting hardwood plywood from Spellman Hardwoods to the shop in Flagstaff's wintry conditions is made safer with the help of my tube sand carriages. Two homemade L-shaped carriages are screwed to the bed behind the wheel wells thus permitting the entire width of the bed to be utilized yet providing extra weight for traction. The hook shown can receive a tiedown to secure a second tube, making a total of 240# of stable weight with no obstruction. Of course, full tanks of gas, as every pilot should know, weigh in at 6# per gallon, not to mention prevent condensation. Coupled with two studless Michelin Latitude tires my venerable 2WD F150 feel like a 4WD, but what transfer case can be dumped into the Flagstaff clay come spring to help loosen things up?
