2 guys 1 floorjack = bed removal

You ever start a project and when you should stop because you need manpower, you come up with cool ways to do stuff? Not sure if this has been done before or if we are some kind of rocket surgeons, but we pulled my bed with 2 guys and a floor jack. and it took like 5 minutes once bolts and wiring were removed. Soooo floor jack at rear. 2 guys on front corners of bed. Lift and walk back.

A engine hoist and a 4x4 across the bed makes some light work of it too if your alone.

Re: 2 guys 1 floorjack = bed removal

meh, lol. I took mine off myself. Keep working it off the back of the frame until it wants to sit on floor then muscle it upright being careful it doesn't tip all the way over.

I think he's thinking what I'm thinking- two grown men & a short bed= the jack should have just slowed y'all down.

Re: 2 guys 1 floorjack = bed removal

My dad and I are going to pull the bed off my truck tonight. I've been thinking about how I want to do it. I was planning on pulling the rear wheels off (since they are 31.5" tall) and then just grabbing the bed from the wheel wells and walking it straight off the back. I do like your approach too though.
