thank you soooooo much! I was stressing about how to get this plywood from Home Depot! they wanted $79 to deliver it but I was able to haul it in my truck.
I got the same truck and bedliner and I never knew what that was were you put the 2x6s at,,great video,,,i have a tie down method that I use and I think you would really like it,,i can get the material so tight using the string from the big box stores that you could play a song on it just like a guitar,,,lol
Thank you for the knowledge! Question: for securing a load of lumber thats not leaning on tailgate, but flat instead, can the same method be used (from securing the 2x4s)? And if so, would it be beneficial to do front and back of load for extra security?
I have done that as well. Plywood just does not fit well and if I carried sheetrock, the corners would break. With the method shown in the video, I never have a problem with damage. Don't forget to tie the plywood down if you throw it in with the tailgate up. Thank you for your comments.
Great video. I learned a lot. One question though. Did you drive off with the milk crate in place? If so, what holds it from slipping out as you drive?
Yes, the crate is what makes it all work. The tie down is between the crate and board. Pressure is pulled down putting pressure on both the board and the crate. It can not move.
Good information, thanks. I use my 6x10 aluminum trailer but I know what you mean about plywood, I’m 68 and I had to carry 4 sheets of 3/4 sandee plywood and I forgot how heavy that stuff is. I like to not have carried it. I got one of those Gorilla grippers but it hurts my wrist when using it, not a fan.
Thank you very much. I understand what you mean about the Gorilla grippers, that is why I put everything on wheels. I use my two wheel dolly to get the plywood into my shop and to the saws. I'm also designing a cart now that will make it even easier.
When I anchor dimensional lumber i go over/under/over the lumber with the straps. This holds the lumber together and with downward pressure. Does not move side to side.
Good video. Thats a nice way to get plywood fastened with only one tie down. Do you think a clove hitch would work as well for the 2x4 hold downs? I've been using clove hitches instead.
Just for your info, not all pickups has those cut out or anchor points on the bed. And why not just close the tailgate once in is in the back of your bed.
Because I do have the anchor points and they work great. It is easier for me to load and unload my truck. As I get older, I look for the easiest way to do things.
Couple points for you to consider: I would not haul lumber sticking up over a tailgate as shown. Doing things like you showed leads to dented tailgates. Put it in, just like you showed with the plywood, on your short boards. Then you need to secure it at both ends, not just at the back with the straps as you showed. Anything that sticks out more than a foot or so past the lowered tailgate needs to be hauled on a trailer, or in a bigger truck. I've hauled sheet goods and dimensional lumber, everything from a few 2x4s to a whole bundle of 6x6 timbers my way hundreds of times over the past 40 years, never lost a single board. YMMV.
Every other video I've seen wrapped it so quick I couldn't tell what the heck they were doing. Thank you for the thorough explanation!
You’re very welcome. Thank you for watching
I like the tie down procedure for the 2 x 4's. I'm an old dog, and learned a new trick!
Thank you very much. No one ever stops learning.
Wow. Thanks for sharing that strap loop technique.
You're welcome. I hope it saves you some time and frustration.
Thank you for doing this video! The most simple and easy to comprehend video i have seen so far 😊.
Glad it was helpful! You’re very welcome.
Thanks dude.. I also have a tacoma... did a ply run today and its never been easier... thank you so much,.,,
Glad I could help! I think that is awesome.
thank you soooooo much! I was stressing about how to get this plywood from Home Depot! they wanted $79 to deliver it but I was able to haul it in my truck.
Awesome! Glad I could help
This was great, thank you! Now if only I can find a video to transport both sheets of plywood and 2x4s! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding tips!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
this was super informative. I also like how you say two by six. It sounds like you're saying tuba steaks.
Thank you
I heard “tuba sex” which sounds even more interesting 🤔
@@s.gruber6841oh..
Nice there needs to be more of this basic man level stuff people need to know.
You're welcome. Glad that you liked it.
Amazing.Doing this wrong forever.I will definitely learn this method.Thanks for the help
Awesome, I glad you were able to learn something.
Nice one. Smarter beats stronger!
Thank you very much
Great video! Wondering how high you can stack the 2x lumber while tying down in the way you’ve showed here?
Thanks for the tips. Very useful
Thank you very much. Safety is so important.
I got the same truck and bedliner and I never knew what that was were you put the 2x6s at,,great video,,,i have a tie down method that I use and I think you would really like it,,i can get the material so tight using the string from the big box stores that you could play a song on it just like a guitar,,,lol
Awesome. Thank you very much.
Right when I was about to click off the video I learned something new, nice going man
Awesome!! I'm glad that you stayed long enough to learn something new. Thank you very much.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much.
Thank you for the knowledge!
Question: for securing a load of lumber thats not leaning on tailgate, but flat instead, can the same method be used (from securing the 2x4s)?
And if so, would it be beneficial to do front and back of load for extra security?
No, I would secure the lumber front and back to the bed of the truck.
Nice. Never head of a Tuba Six though.
LOL. Come to the south. You'll hear a whole different version of the English language.

especially the dimensional lumber technique. Greetings from California
Thank you very much.
Excellent video, thank you :)
You are welcome!
Now I have to go see if our truck has those slots. I always just throw plywood in with the tailgate up.
I have done that as well. Plywood just does not fit well and if I carried sheetrock, the corners would break. With the method shown in the video, I never have a problem with damage. Don't forget to tie the plywood down if you throw it in with the tailgate up. Thank you for your comments.
So helpful! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Well, not all of us have those slots for the two by sixes or the tiedown points, so what do we do?
Each model truck have different methods. Look at your specific truck model and look for a workable solution for you specific situation.
Great video. I learned a lot. One question though. Did you drive off with the milk crate in place? If so, what holds it from slipping out as you drive?
Yes, the crate is what makes it all work. The tie down is between the crate and board. Pressure is pulled down putting pressure on both the board and the crate. It can not move.

Great, whatever works best for you.

Yes, I would say a clove hitch would work just fine
Most state's require you ratchets or binder on drivers side
Interesting, here it just have to be secured
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Awesome
Thank you
Thank you!!!!!!
You’re welcome
5:00 I like that.
Awesome! Thank you
Info being passed down from the elders guys. Gotta appreciate the knowledge and subscribe to show your support. I just did!
Thank you very much.

Great explanation. Hooah
Thank you very much.
I’d be worried about loosing that milk crate
The milk. Rate will not fall off. You have pressure bearing down on the crate.
it kind of looks like a double larks head knot..
It's similar, but it is not the same knot. I use the lark head knot a lot but for different applications.
Tuba Six has to meet my friend Diabeetus.
lol
Seriously, thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you very much.
Thanks Paw Paw
My pleasure

Thank you for sharing your comments. They are very valid and I hope that others will read them as well.
If anything is sticking out past your vehicle more than a couple feet, you need to put a red flag on it. Some state this is required by law.
Thank you. Excellent point. Here, it is legal how I'm carrying the material. I never want to quote the law because it varies too much.
@@PawPawsWorkShop Even if it is not required by law, it is good idea just for safety.
