You just grab the tarp and push it down in the corner to empty it. Opening the tailgate is a recipe for disaster

Dial "hoss.com" for concrete bed liners.

One of the teams at our local BBQ cookoff did this for a couple of years. The first year, they just used a 1/2 ton chevy with no blocks or anything under the back...definitely not well planned out, although it did give them a shallow end and a deep end.

The other years they upgraded to a 3/4 ton and would block the rear end to keep the weight off the suspension. They were heating water over their fire, so it was a true "hot" tub. I kept waiting for the air compressor to show up one year to add some redneck jets.

Why mess with a compressor?
Just hook a hose up to the exhaust pipe and feed it into your pool.

Dude around here used to do that to fill up his air mattress when he went camping. I "used to" because the mattress had a slow leak and one time he never woke up. Took LE a lot of head scratching to figure out how he died.

Well the pool was a hit! Best idea I've had in a long time haha. I took 6, 55 gallon drums down with me and used a gas powered pump to pump them out into my truck. It worked perfect. And then came the unload... I wanted to pump out the bed but my gf insisted on dropping the tailgate... I warned her if she let my tailgate slam open I was going to be ticked! But it worked out well. I'll try to attach some pics. Sorry didn't get a video of the unload.
