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'm surprised seeing this didn't put or cause a lot more people to slid off the road. Just where and how did the idiot come out of him?

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.

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.

This is what gave me the idea.

Yup lol. Do you have a link to it?
