Tug of War - THIS IS TRUE, and I wonder how its done.

4 F-350's, all 6.0 and heavily modded vs. my buddies '05 2500 Shortbox, heavily modded.

He beat them all, and never went backwards once. 3 pulls a piece.

How does this happen?

And this isn't a Dodge vs. Ford thing (even though I was laughing), but how does his Dodge NOT GET BEAT?

He pulled a backhoe, bobcat, schoolbus and a semi as well...

I saw all of this.

Yes.

And I'm confused too.

But 1,000+ people saw it.

Here is where they pull.

OK, then I was there. I didn't make it to Yankee Lake because I had my tranny torn apart. Was supposed to pull this guy at Fireball, but he didn't want to bring his PS in because of the mud. It's a good looking truck, but I'm pretty sure that's it. Told me he pays a guy to clean his filter.

What mods did your friend do to the truck?

LOL, you must have seen me...

I was on the pulling track the whole night...

Yeah, that guy in the POS Chevy had like 26 beers and wanted to pull in 2wd with my buddy...

He only hit his hitch though...

You going this week?
