The first winter I had my truck I had a lot of trouble with my sandbags
sliding all over. Fixed that with a "box" in the bed to contain them in
the axle/wheelwell area. Got the idea from Kyle K. Just a couple 2x6s
slapped together with nails, screws & joist hangers. Just needed 2 8-foot
2x6s and 4 joist hangers.

It also works great for keeping other loads from shifting. A lot easier
than crawling all the way under the tonneau (or removing it in the cold) to
get stuff.
