Red got his first test today. A guy in a Ram 1500 slid off the roadway in front of me thanks to an idiot pulling out of him. He was just spinning the right rear and left front. Great 4x4, lol. Anyways, I hooked him with my ****** strap and he came right out.. Red with the all terrains pulled him out without slipping. I thought for sure I was just going to sit there and spin. It's ice on the roads with fresh snow on top. Sometimes you get surprises. Today was one.
Speaking of Winder towing.... they posted a couple hours ago about making some "Good Ol' Ed" shirts.... LOL. Might need one of these too. He reminds me so much of my FIL.

I have had experiences like that where my rig surprised the hell out of me.... and pretty soon I just got used to it. The way our dock used to be at work, it sloped downward and the drain sucked. It also made it very impossible to do snow removal how it was, so we developed a lot of ice and slush in there all the time. I was pulling 18 wheeler's and UPS/FedEx trucks out with my 91 Explorer.
Ran into this pic.... I was proud of this little setup here (Ranger with a Ranger bed trailer). I really miss this truck. Guy I sold it to totaled it.
I had plans to build a matching bed trailer to my Highboy. Even had a camper shell and was going to get a second one to go all out. Ended up selling everything to keep the Highboy restore fund going... maybe sometime down the road It'll happen.
Evan, Wasn't it you that posted the Frankenstein truck with the newer gen box on the older gen truck? There's a question for you about a newer box on an older truck up on the forum right now. I wouldn't mind seeing someone document taking on this project.
