    I didn’t throw any more straps because I wasn’t sure how much the pipe stakes factor into the load securement, but I was thinking 2 chains on each pair was quite a lot once you factor in the straps, but yeah I suppose it wouldn’t have hurt

    Sh it I'd have another strap about 1ft behind each existing strap. So 10 total. #### giving logs any chance of moving, especially forward through the cab in the event of a sudden stop.

    Frame mount should be a primary water separator filter and the frame mount is the secondary (smaller micron rating)

    25 years married in 5 days so I kinda feel like it will work out in the long run?

    Absolutely zero

    Technically youre legal there. But just barely I'd say.

    Well some form of choker would be ideal. At least 2.

    I'd think so to but only 2 lines come from the tanks. Both are filtered. Both lines from tanks go to filters then to the back of the pump

    When these goons get done putting 80k lbs worth of sheitrock on me, I'll look under my truck to make sure, but I think Ive only got 2 lines as well.

    You're legal on weight and spacing. But there are definitely not enough straps. 5 extra straps would've taken 5 extra mins.

    Actually, no you weren't legal in Tx. 2 straps in the 1st 4ft of the load are required here.
