Good stuff BSF look forward to day 2 where the meat and potatoes begin, you shot this in January by the looks of when the sun's going down, I live In Manitoba just north of you by a few hours, and today Feb.13th this morning when i woke up at 6am it was -41 and thats not factoring in windchill which is just nuts and all kinds of stuff gets really brittle in this weather and just doesn't want to work , your weather for this recovery is a little better, still darn cold to be recovering that S10 4x4, I almost thought why not just mother nature recapture that truck, consecrate it back to the earth , then we wouldn't have a fantastic video to look forward to, this weather just ain't too kind to anything or anyone,🥶 stay safe and stay warm 🔥 OH yah, there's a new comment section i never knew about known as the winers section 😭

I almost bought an old FWD, I just didn't have the space for it and it was too much of a project for me. It was a retired plow truck a farmer was using to haul manure. He had a 3,000 gallon tank on it and he said as long as he was loaded, he never got stuck. It had a hard life, tho. Most of the steering was gone and converted to full hydro. The old leaf springs gave up so he lengthened the wheelbase and used thick plate steel to weld rear axle to the frame. It still ran and drove, tho. His friends would say, "First you hear him coming, then you smell him coming, then you see him coming", lol. I think it could've been a beast of an off road truck with a lot of work. It already sat on 48" tires as it was. Sadly, while it did come with a winch, that was long gone, tho.

Cant wait to watch it

Awsome set up

That truck is at the truck stop where I-39, I 90, I 94and WI 74 all meet up in Portage Wi I hope you weren't doing that recovery while we had the -40degree wind chills

Awesome 👌

Love your posts i do recoveries in uk

great tunes

That is a beautiful YJ

Cute jeep same as ours except ours is blue when it's not covered in Mudd lol♡

Love those old FWDs damn things were bullet proof and if you could get its wheels on it, it would climb it. Slow cold noisy as hell but it was reliable and would get you there.

push brooms work just as well as ice scrappers to get snow off a vehicle and less likely to leave scratches on the vehicle

maybe the recovery video is coming out next

Can't wait

Your plow truck is my dream truck

S10 better be something really special to spend this much energy recovering it? If it were that special, surprised it wouldn’t be stripped down after 3 years.

Your haul truck is awesome. Here in South Africa we don't really get full size rigs like that. Our big 4x4/suv are land rover discovery or land cruisers. Other brand also but all around that size. Those vehacles would barely be able to pull your trailer. That's before it's loaded.

Since I don't remember seeing it, can the Wrecker be driven (without damage to it) on asphalt or concrete roads? I know the Grisley locks and so was wondering as I have the same rear end in my truck and wanted to add the Grisley. (But my truck spends most of its time on the street).

Not safe to cross your chains like that from what I've seen. You lose one chain of the 4 and you lose control over an entire end of the loaded vehicle.

You really should not cross chains or straps when hauling, if one comes loose it jeopardizes the whole load. Run them straight on there own sides and if one fails the rest will do their jobs.

@mrmotofy

2 жыл бұрын

Depends on who you ask, according to the FMCSA Driver Handbook (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) see section 7 and 10 cargo securement...specifically shows tie downs crossed. Heavy equipment operators always cross em to prevent shifting side to side. Straight tie downs allow it to move side ways

A battery shouldn't be bad after 4 1/2 years, but if it does a lot of sitting then that certainly doesn't help.

with all your experience. I'm surprised you cross tie and chain using the frame and not the axles. they still bounce that way.
