Tug-A-War Contest?

We have The Tug-A-War contests, where they hook a chain from rear bumpers of two trucks and see who pulls who.
The winner is a guy I know with a Toyota SR5, that small Toyota can pull F350 Super Duty's with duallys.
I am thinking about entering with my 09 F150 with the rear locker
Do you think my truck can pull a Toyota mini pickup?

they also have hill climb contests, snow and ice contests ( the snow and ice contests is the trucks climb a steep icy hill without 4 wheel drive, and the one that gets the highest is the winner, ( the chevys with auto 4x4 win )

I love this bit the best. So a 4wd chevy wins the 2wd hill climb lol

I also bet the tug of war would be great watching them connect to each others bumpers and watch them fly off.

I guess you got to watch that your beer doesn't tip over during the hill climb contest?

Pull Offs, Tug O Wars, etc. are so childish, and prove nothing. Generally performed by High Schoolers on a Fri night, after consuming a few to many beers. No wonder Bart is into it.

Generally speaking, the truck that gets the most traction wins. There are way to many variables to make it realistic proof of anything.

The tug-a-war contests are done in 4 wheel drive on soft ground, its your choice where you hook the chain, to the frame, axle, bumper, trailer hitch.
Its a MAN's game, its dangerous!
I'm sure glad I don't do any off roading with some of you guys!
What would your woman think of you if you were afraid to enter a tug-a-war contest?

You see, when you acknowledge his ignorant comments it just encourages him to keep going.

lol....yeah, he sent me a message that said something like "real men do tug-a-war contests.....you're too scared"

I guess having him around is like having a kid with tourette's.....you never really know what is going to come out of his mouth next. But whatever he ends up saying, you know not to take it too seriously.

It's a MAN'S Game, B#*@ch, reminds ME of Jim Rome.

I guess We've all figured out Barts demographic?
