Got a bunch of stuff in the cab for the move. Tied it all in with those giant wire ties that Harbor Freight has. My brother had a good idea of throwing a bike chain or cable around stuff with a lock on it. I removed one of the tail gate bolts and put a lock and even through a cable over the bed and around the frame so the bed couldn't be taken. I did this because stuff being stolen from towed cars OR the whole thing being stolen is very common on towed cars while you are at a hotel. I am not sure if I will be able to drive the whole way, 10 hours. I did it once and it kicked my butt. After loading that truck, I am thinking I won't be able to do it. So a hotel may be in the horizon and I figured I would throw a few locks on it so it would be safer.
