Went to Mudfest in Colfax, La Saturday. Went through a couple holes, finally ran into a friend who would record me going through a hole....

I had an issue in Pa when I lived there. Had a dog that thought a 4 foot chain link fence was something to be used for excercise on his way out of the yard (was a pit mix, so folks were intimidated by him anyway). I built a stockade fence 6' high and out of the same materials as the house (went...
I can see the logic in that.......
I guess the main difference is the end use of the chains. Are they being used to secure (or lift) or used as a control device? If securing a load I would go with the method I mentioned. I would still use straight chains for pulling though, because if your tow...
Safety towing
Sorry, but that is incorrect.
As a rigging supervisor and certified rigging inspector, I feel I have the knowledge to at least point ya'll in the right direction.
While "Catching the bar" is a good reason, that is not the purpose of the chains. The purpose of the chains is to...
RE: Re: RE: Found out they ARE for something!
THose are two of my biggest fears: Hood coming loose and trailer falling. Needless to say, I do a walkaround no matter how long I'm out of the truck. (Of course it doesn't do my nerves any good that I have friends who would think that would be the...
A five ton for my girlfriend. (yes, we both have OD fever!). Since I have the deuce, she can have the 5 ton. Looking for a reasonably priced one close to Louisiana. Any one got any leads? (I know I could go through GL, but would like to avoid that headache, and I'm SURE private owners take...
You can find cars there from people who either just want to sell them b/c they are getting a new car or people who are being transferred and cannot take them with them. I saw a 60's model Camaro convertable for $2,500.00 As a L/Cpl in the Marines, that may as well have been 25k, but ohh the...
WAAAAAYYYYY back in 1993 when I was in the Marine Corps, I was looking around the lemon lot one day and came across a 1979 M880. Didn't know or care much that it was a military truck, just loved the price: $800.00. Bought it but was getting out and couldn't have it shipped home (I was stationed...
Amazing how many threads have the term "cup" and "holder".
Has anyone built/bought/found a cup holder for their deuce? I drink **massive** amounts of coffee and holding the cup, shifting and steering can get crazy. (Let's just say putting your mug between your legs isn't a great idea either)...
A bigger picture?
Here are two of the loves in my life. And yes. We are getting her "Georgina" or "Georgia". Not sure if she wants a CUCV or 5 ton...... (I'm leaning toward 5 ton).
She really is enthusiastic. the first time I got stuck, I'm on the phone "explaining" to her hoping she wouldn't...
