Hillbilly Hot Tub

[SolidWrecks]

The good thing about small beds is it's easier to have a hillbilly hot tub in the back.

Assuming my math is decently right, if the Maverick's bed is 55.3" x 54", that is about 20.735 sqft. That means with water being about 64 pounds per gallon, you could put a little more than a foot of water in the bed and still be ok on payload. When it gets warmer I'll post pics.

Water weighs about 8.3 pounds per gallon.

64 pounds per gallon huh, that's some heavy water

If you put a small pool of about 4x4x2 (deep) in the back, it would be about 2,000 pounds of weight from water.

64 pounds per square foot. I am sure that is what they meant.

There is no such thing as a square foot of water.
To correctly compute the weight, you need to know the VOLUME
aka cubic feet
aka L x W x H
then convert that to gallons
Then multiply by 8.3

Yes, meant cubic foot. Which if anyone spent 1 second Googling, they would see is 64 pounds for a cubic foot. Some of you need to lighten up......

What is weight of cubic foot of beer? Light Beer?

If Light Beer = Water, then the same 64.

I was going to talk about how we also need to account for the weight/displacement of the human in the hot tub, but then I remembered that human body density is essentially the same weight per cubic foot as water. Haha. Weird to think about.

In other words, "you could put a little more than a foot of human meat slurry" in the bed of the Mav.

OK, but what happens when you put a couple of "big" girls in the hot tub? Asking for a friend,,,,,

A pint’s a pound, the world around.

A square foot of water weighs 62.4 lbs
