I been wanting to get one of those tow straps to keep in my tool box. The one's I've seen are only rated for 5,000 lbs, is that a heavy duty one?

I guess so. I always kinda slap that... well, never a problem there. I have never owned a dually but have seen them in action.

Actually, she cleaned mine up after I spun mud all over myself trying to get out. She knew I had a rough day so she and the daughter decided to wash the truck for me. She did make me put on the smoke cab lights she bought for me while they were drying the truck off though.

A wife like that makes it easier to admit to the unfortunate incidents in life.

Nothing wrong with a lady driving a diesel and yanking a man from some mud, especially if she is your lady. I have been trying to get my spouse to drive a powerstroke for a long time. Thanks for sharing
