cant pull what?? video for u here..

tree was the full width of the natchez trace (2 lane road), 28 inches in diameter, water logged, still attached by many many vines, and i was pulling on wet ground/concrete.. you tell me what you think the weight of this thing was (not counting the resistance from the vines). and oh yeah, wasnt on a dual axle trailer (like the load i 'claimed' was 25,400 odd pounds). more videos on request. thanks guys. sorry the video is soo long, fiance doesnt know how to stop then record again..http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...deoid=42234338

fiance was doing the recording. dont know why she cut it off early.. but wow, i thought there would be more responses to this video. havent heard from any of the guys that were saying what my truck CAN and CANT do! i told you i had no reason to lie about its capabilities (legal or not) towing. well at least the video quieted some of the ignorant responses..

Wow....a video to say your truck can tow because someone doubted you? Yippee for you, everyone who owns one on here knows what our trucks can do. Not sure what others said, but I think the video proves nothing that has not been proven in many many years. Never understood the point of proving oneself to others or to make oneself feel good about themselve or better is beyond me.

Selectable locker would help, and the half on concrete half on wet grass didnt help the traction issue.

your truck sounds good. what kind of setup do you have?

as for the pulling, I don't think they doubted you as to how much you were pulling, but whether or not it was good for your truck....which it's not.

i didnt take part in the last thread. I just saw the weight you said you pulled and decided to let everyone else say something. haha. this one had a video though.

I mean if you consider 100 bucks cheap then ya they are and they are super easy to install, however I am sure you can find someone who made their own, I just bought some from the local off road store and put em on in 20 min. I will try to find a link

HeHe...screw FEMA. Just bring in a fleet of Fords.

Love Mississippi dude. I've spent a little quality time in the cotton fields north of Canton. Ole times there are not forgotten.
