Let's say, hypothetically, someone wanted to play a joke and was going to put a pool in the back of the Jeep for the fun of it.

372 Gallons of water = 3,100 pounds. Clearly over the max payload.

3,100 ok if not moving? lol

Clearly I have too much time on my hands right now...

If you are not moving, why not just throw a couple jack stands under there? I know you can get a good deal at Harbor Freight right now!
That is a good idea. Safety first :)

Hypothetically speaking if you used a tarp you could place enough load on the tailgate catches that you wouldn't be able to open it to drain and would have to hand bail. Depending on environmental conditions it could also freeze. Not that I'd know or anything.

But yes as long as it isnt a shockload with the water, it'll just compress until the springs go solid.

There is enough of a gap a pocket knife at the seam between the bed & the tailgate could be used to drain.. Just sacrificing the tarp of course.

If you really wanted to have some fun with it I would fill it with the tarp & then orbees.
