Way to go, Irn. That should keep 'er from creeping back. And when it snows you can use it to clear the driveway by backing out.

I remember once I held my foot on the brake of a one tone wrecker while my friend was doing a hard pull. He was pulling a truck up and out of a front yard that was 4 feet below the road. The truck was upside down, too. Anyway, his micro brake wouldn't hold so he had me put my foot on the brake. Pulled so hard that the front of the wrecker was off the ground. Got the truck half way turned over, up and out and the cable broke with a twinging SNAP! Cable hit the headache rack and put a huge dent in it. My friend jumped back and just caught the end of the cable across his face, ripped his cheek real good, but it could have been worse.

Learned a lesson that day. "The right truck for the job" with no exceptions.

Your truck looks to be bulletproof. Have you got snatch-blocks on that puppy?

a double, 4 or more singles, an extra plate so I can make another double. some small ones. several factory ones under the passenger seat. used them all once, 4 part line down to the excavator, over to a D-8 with the blade dug in. then back to the truck, pulled a 1 inch 6 by 42 line into that was attached to the excavator, pulled the center out of one sheave. and truck was running at 400 rpm idle all the while. serious pull, excavator was moving about an inch a minute.

picked a station wagon up outa a 20 foot deep culvert once

pulled a loaded semi and trailor out of a road ditch side ways once to.
