Reminds me of my parents, dad lacks diplomacy sometimes, years back he had been expanding the lawn, we have no native soil where I grew up, his process for creating soil is to keep removing large stones until they are all small enough to rake, then apply seed liberally to the small stones, his lawn is less lawn and more Chia Pet . 
anyway he has a dump body on the Power Wagon, with high side boards intended for firewood 4-5’ high, it will take 1.25 cord stacked.
He suggested to my mother one day before leaving for a multi day overnight job that, as she had plenty of time on her hands it wouldn’t hurt her and be good exercise to pick some stone and put it in the truck (my mom doesn’t need exercise). He must have been a true gentleman and really won her over, because when he got back the next day the truck was filled level with the top of the side boards with the biggest rocks mom could lift on down to pebbles, said he had to unload half of it before he dared try to move it, but he dared not object 😂

I like how he put the ratchet strap on there to hold the bumper off the ground!!

Looks like the bumper was holding up the tailgate.

I know one thing for sure about that. There is no way I'd be doing that or what to be anywhere close to it.

It won't compete with that pic, but I was coming eastbound on I 40 today in New Mexico, and coming west bound at about 50 mph, was an old worn-out Toyota Mini Van, with a tow bar on the back towing a wrecked car, and it had a tow bar on the back towing another wrecked car, in the middle of a bunch of semis going 75 mph.

I hope they were not going very far.

VW bug hauling a 20' ladder. Drive over it lengthwise. Wire it up to the bumpers and off you go. Not me but I wish I had a pic. 

I hauled an 8" x 20' double wall plastic driveway pipe below my 87 Chevy Silverado short bed tied up to the rears. It helped that I had 35" tires

So, I'm an hour west of Oklahoma City on I 40 today, and low and behold, there's a ram half ton pickup with a ford pickup hooked back-to-back by the hitch just like the earlier picture. That Dodge was hunkered down pretty good.

That job definitely went to the lowest bidder, nothing but hard hats for safety.
