Hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

+2. I thought holy crap he's getting quite a run at her.

Sweet video.

 

That's what I would call a "****** strap". They have some give to them so that you can do exactly what he did in the video. I pulled a friend's 1-ton van buried to the ***** in mud out with a 2wd F150 and a ****** strap. I just had to take enough of a running start. I also have a tow strap that is similar in size and weight rating, but it doesn't stretch.

Its actually a lifting strap for an overhead crane. they are rated for a crazy amount of weight, and also have a bit of give for the snatching action. I love em, been using straps like this for years

 

Great vid. I did the same with my former rusty as hell 93, when our driver got the landing gear hung up in the blizzard in 2010.

 

I'm just glad this thread wasn't deleted before you were able to put that up. Where the heck do you get a beasty strap like that?

 

A buddy of mine works for a local construction company, and he gets em for free. OSHA says the straps are junk if ANY of the fibers get frayed, which means they only last on the jobsite for about 2 months. Then their supposed to throw them out, but we found a better purpose for them.

 

^^^ Amen to that! Lol

 

The problem with those slings, it they are not for shock loads. I realize you are not lifting with it(its designed purpose) but a regular tug em strap is designed for shock loading like pulling a truck out with a run shot

 

Ya, I was going to say.........."Watch this" as you backup for a running start. LOL!! I've seen those snap straps and they will get stuff unstuck if you work them right.

Great work, sounds GOOD!

 

I've used both, and I've had better luck with a tow strap. Both with being able to actually tug what I was trying to get unstuck, and with shock to the truck.

 

That's "Hold my beer, and watch this!"

 

Thanks man, Im real proud of my exhaust, you should hear it shifting from 3rd to 4th around 4500rpms.

 

i tried the jerk methods on some stumps once work great for the eight stumps i pulled then my mom pulls one with my truck and screws the bumper up 4.9 to much power for that bumper i guess. but hey at least the stump came out
