Ha, like your rig or my rig, or and pickup truck, is frozen pond rated...
Mine is 8000lbs, no way in hell its gonna stay on top, or float once the ice collapses...
Of course, some of these recent eBay finds are quite good for frozen ponds--12ft of lift, long wheel bases-what else do you need?

that ice looked like 4-5 inches thick. I always guaged it as 2" good enought to walk on if it is good hard ice, 7" will hold 2000 lbs. 14" will hold a pickup truck. and if you ever watch Modern marvels they had one on there about ice truckers. 40 something plus inches of ice holds 40,000 lbs. Yes 20 tons. I beleive that episode is on this week some time on the history channel for those interested.

I watched a show on the discovery channel about truckers (in Alaska I think)They were talking about the trucks going through the ice,and what a risky job it was.You could not pay me enough to do it!One other thing,There is a small lake about 20 miles from here that has an island in the middle of it.Well back in the late 20`s some rich guy was building a home on the island.As the lumber truck,a 1929 Ford,was going to the island it broke through the ice and sank to the bottom.For years afterward you could see it on the bottom.It has since sank in the muck.But I sure would like to find it and bring it back up!
