ya but yello...i betcha don't drive the speed limit like a good boy should *grin* LOL
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I think that the constructive part has been covered - a quick survey of the post seems to show a majority of respondents preferring that Airtech would use a towing service or at least a larger vehicle to tow the truck in question. Others are merely voicing the fact that they have 'successfully' used lighter vehicles to tow heavier vehicles. This is a concept that would make mere mortals coil in fear at the similar thought of attempting to make a panic stop in a Yugo with a freighttrain attached to the back...Elwenil said:Ok guys that's enough. This sort of thing is not very constructive or helpful and tends to leave people with a sour taste in their mouth. Take it to PMs if you wish to continue.
Please pardon the insensitivity. This is the first time ever---on any site--- that I've had a post deleted. I feel honored. I would have thought, though, that a post would be deleted for profanity, maybe, or threats, or unnecessary name-calling.And the sash chain/moped comment was plainly insensitive and a poor suggestion, period. Sash chain can suffer from link deformation under tension; cotton rope is a much better solution because it will 'flex' slightly during the transition from static rest to being fully tensioned - rope has a built-in cushioning effect that is gentler on the moped drive sprockets.
I thought it was funny....SterlingDevelop said:Please pardon the insensitivity. This is the first time ever---on any site--- that I've had a post deleted. I feel honored.

Wouldn't have thought a little good natured humor would result in a post being censored.
If my moped comments hurt any feelings, I might humbly suggest that the big burly beer drinkin' ,grease under the nails, deuce drivin', red blooded, military vehicle collectin' guys who took offense could possibly be a little too sensitive.
Anyway, to show that I can take a little constructive criticism, I am going to take Tanner's suggestion and switch to cotton rope. I can "borrow" some from the neighbor's clothesline. Because clearly the last thing we need is for some links to suffer deformation under tension.
Well mabye not all the time. but when I do.....The fuel economy is outstanding...both my last trips to Barstow GL I got 18MPG with a lifted 35" tire Powerstroke...Im a happy man with OD feveralphadeltaromeo said:ya but yello...i betcha don't drive the speed limit like a good boy should *grin* LOL
Ok, Airtech DID say the brakes would be on the week side and most on this thread are thinking the first van below. He may have the second van below, and I am sure there are opinions about flat towing a duece with either.airtech said:need to pick up in columbus i am going to check the truck out next week to see if i can get it running while i am waiting on euc if not do you think i could tow it with a e 350 powerstroke drw van with exhaust brake ? i know the brakes would be on the weak side but its all flat 75 miles to my house not much traffic.I can buy a tow bar cheaper than getting it towed here
Oh and Me too....I was rolling laughing at the comments when the post went FROM CONSTRUCTIVE to ENTERTAINING.Rolling_Eudaimonia said:I thought it was funny....SterlingDevelop said:Please pardon the insensitivity.
