Today, I started landscaping behind a house with a steep backyard and ordered a tandem load of screened topsoil. The dump truck arrived and backed down in the back yard. He dumped about half and stopped because of the steep angle. He tried to pull out and got stuck!!

I thought I would hook up and give it try. 4 lo and stomped it!!! Man did the black smoke boil from the Dodge and the Peterbilt!!! I made 3-4" ruts with each tire all the way to the top and over to flat ground. When we stopped, the truck driver jumped out and said, "That pull should make a Dodge commercial." We both laughed.

I thought I was Bad to the Bone

 

Like to see that one, Yeah it woulda made a good comercial.

 

New rule:

No one is allowed to pull anything other than a trailer without first making sure the camcorder has a full charge and an empty tape.

At least some still pictures at various times during the pull.

That would have made one heck of an addition to the DTR mini movie.

Life's so cool at "Wide Open Throttle"

I should have charged the homeowners for the bug extermination when the thrusted fog of black smoke engulfed the backyard.

 

Where were you? I think I saw your smoke on this side of the mtn. Nat

 

Grace Chapel area, on the Catawba River in southern Caldwell County. Could you read the smoke signals??

 

Yeah. That explains why the earth shifted it's axis south for 30 or 40 seconds yesterday.

Wish you could go back in time?

Coordinate everyone to point their trucks west and floor it at exactly the same time.
30 seconds WOT should get you an hour or two to do something over again.

Alrighty then! Book it Phox and let us know when. Anyday is good for me since almost daily I have things I wish I had done differently.

Especially on the weekends!!!!

 

Can we make the weekends three days long then???

 

Why waste our torque, it's an election year.
Anyone have a petition?

Many years ago my Dad got our 2WD GMC w/ 305 V6 towing 23' boat stuck (no traction) in the mud. We proceeded to pull them out in tandem with our little 9 hp tractor. Only 9 hp, but geared down to something on the order of 250:1 (transmission + rear Diff + more at the wheels) with agricultural tires. It was quite amazing watching David pull Goliath.

Not exactly a Dodge commercial, but I thought it was noteworthy. Tractor was "economy" brand that came as kits.

 

I second that! These threads are WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS/VIDEO.

 

One of lifes great experiences for me has been taking my new RAM CTD thru the local car wash and watching the young boys working there fight over who gets to drive it out and park it!!
