Vids from first pull

Got to pull it today. Matt in the 6700# and myself in the 8700#.
Truck with weight bracket = 6100#
Here's Matt, had 600 on the front, 218'



Since you can't pull the same truck twice, I added 900# for a total of 7600#. 168'



Track was loose. Needed alot more traction, should have aired down. Probably will find different tires. Had 235/85 10 ply's.

3200 spring will help too.

Better to spin the wheels than break stuff.

Good job. Love to see the old boxes pull. I pulled with my cummins ramchrger last night as well. 222 feet. Have to pull in a modified class because of the transplant. Ended in the middle of a pack of almost 20 trucks in my class.
