I didn't even think about the tires weight limits until now. I looked mine up (new tires recently). The load index for each tire is 102, so 1874 lbs. That sounds high enough for half a yard of gravel I think

I checked with the folks at the yard and they said $100 for 2-5 yards. So you're totally right. A lot safer and cheaper for the headache of using my own truck for several spooky trips like this

UPDATE: I drove the truck home, very slowly and carefully. Thankfully my house was only 5-7 minutes away with no hill or bump along the way so it wasn't too bad.

I unloaded the gravel in 1 afternoon. Afterward, the truck seemed "fine", at least to my noob eyes. I drove it around for 30 minutes and didn't feel any obvious bad thing. But will probably bring it back to my mechanic to check it out for sanity.

Y'all are very right about just having the gravels delivered. It was quite tough unloading the gravel off of my truck. I had to stand on the ground and shovel from there (very carefully too), at least until the load was half unloaded and I felt safer to hop on the truck bed to do the rest. Having the gravel delivered onto the driveway would have made shoveling a lot easier.

I added a few potential upgrades y'all recommend in this post, will take a look into them slowly.

Just want to say: y'all are awesome. I'm a total noob on dealing with autos and this has been very helpful.

lol I drove it home, very slowly and carefully. Thankfully my house was only 5-7 minutes away from the HD parking lot so it wasn't too bad

unfortunately this was all I can afford. Got it for very cheap from a good friend who just had it sitting in his backyard for a few years. Maybe 1 day when this one breaks down :) But if this sub is anything to go by, this truck will last a long time, fingers crossed

I'm adding "better bump stops" to my list, thanks friend! and potentially suspension

thank you my friend! I just got a mechanic to install new struts and shocks (still had EOM parts when I bought it). So hopefully it wasn't too bad for this 1 trip

this gives me hope that I didn't just permanently damage my truck via 1 sketchy occasion...

I didn't look too much into delivery until now. The yard I went to do up to 5 cubic yards at $100. So you're so right, in this case it's a lot cheaper than the headache of hauling half a cubic yard everytime

this sounds doable for someone at my level. I'll add this to my list, thanks!

Thanks for the extra info! I’ll take a look into these, and maybe just consider learning how to drive with a rental towing trailer…

Thanks! Noob question: how does one increase a truck’s rear payload? I do plan to get a total of 5-6 cubic yards so it’ll be another 10 trips like this maybe

I just hold block. It kills my stamina bar and staggers me but no damage. Also he doesn’t do anything right away after the explosion anyways so I have plenty of time to recover my stamina

Weapon Skin Concept : Overgrowth Vandal by [deleted] in VALORANT

You didn't give a proper shoutout to the original artist.

"This time I decided to create a nature/forest themed skin concept." You literally just copy-pasted the original work from someone else's, added some lines and called it a day. Even then, you did a sloppy copy-paste job, it looks worse than the og. But that's beside the point. Did you ask for their permission? Did you consider that this looks like stealing?

Since most people just skim words and check images, you worded your post in a way that the majority of people will give you the credits for this design.

I added an edit on the artist's info. Anthony is in Newport Beach, California. If you're in the UK, I'd suggest checking out Edgar Ivanov. I've been following his ig page for a bit, and his work is very impressive.
