My first full pull! Sorta...
We haven't lived in our new house all that long, and we have a rather interesting driveway to navigate that both my wife and I are still getting used to.
As she is leaving for work this morning in the balmy 16f weather with a lively little wind to boot, she gets one of the front wheels of the front wheel drive van off of the drive. Stuck, up to the frame, bad.
At this point I have only had the truck hooked up to the juice for an hour, and my 5 year old batteries need all the help they can get.
Well, I go out to the truck, and with two cranks the beast fires right up! Off to a good start. After letting it warm up for a few mintues, I back the truck up to the van and hook them together. Take up slack, get the thumbs up from my wife, and here we go!
Once the van is out I stop. My wife jumps out of the van and exclaims -
"Great job honey, a full pull! You need to get into that sled pulling stuff after all!!"
Made my day!

Way to go matt!!! No stopping you now
My wife and I both drive 4x4 trucks, mine has the Cummins beast of course . Winter 1996 we had a bad snow storm, dumped 6 ft drifts on my drive way.
My wife works in a hospital and we were trying to get her to work, first she got her truck stuck in the driveway. I pulled her out and got mine stuck Then she pulled me out and buried hers again . We did this half a dozen more times before deciding she wasn't going to work that day
Funny thing is, I never said anything about her truck getting stuck, but I sure nuff took a ribbing, when mine got stuck
