just playin.

 

Sorry, I should have used this guy with that last post--->

Definately not a bad thing. I have to write this crap down, give it a sloppy name and call it a book. All I need is a spot on oprah and I've got it made.

I think I'll call it "a mid summer night's zombie massacre".

Should be more than enough cash in a deal like that to arm our fleets to the teeth.

 

lmao... you know it would too...

 

Trey that 'ol hoss is gonna get a 4 speed auxiliary box when it gets redone starting next spring. The auxiliary is planned to give it an even deeper reduction than it has now. In western PA we have lots of short, very steep hills. Trying to start out in the middle of one of them with an 80,000 lb tractor trailer rig on the hook is sheer hell on drivetrain components. If you think that a big wrecker couldn't possibly lift the front wheels off of the ground like drag car drive a big hook around here for awhile. It's not a question of if it will happen to you it's a question of when.

In an old rig with virtually no creature comforts 55 - 60 is plenty fast.

 

haha. man, that would be sweet. you gotta get pics of one commin up!

 

I have seen an F450 wrecker do that before.

 

ive seen em get too big a rig on it lifts em up, but never a strait out wheelie...

 

Lol, well hopefully we won't have to deal with that after Z-day, cause then we'd have to hook up two wreckers - one to pull the 18-wheeler, and another in front of it to guide it once the front wheels lift off the road. Can you imagine doing that with a thousand zombies hauling at you from out in the distance, screaming like pissed off banshees? lol

 

thats why you kill the zombies around first...

 

What exactly would a thousand screaming zombies sound like? Banshees don't come to my mind - more like asthmatic apes, I would think...

I've seen some pretty gawdawful big wreckers hauling tractor trailer rigs around - I can't imagine one of those brutes lifting the front wheels off the ground... Couldn't the trailer be unhitched from the tractor and be hauled out separately if needed?

 

a rig that big pullin a wheelie...i need video

 

And what if zombies are coming in numbers large enough to where even you can't mow them all down before they reach us?

Don't know, and if given the choice I sure as heck won't stick around to find out
Oilfield trucks can lift the front off the ground, and do so quite often. Big-rig wreckers are built to withstand the same loads too, one of those operated by O'Hare from Chicago even did it in an episode of "Wrecked" on Speed. But yes, generally the trailer can be disconnected and pulled by a different tractor or even another wrecker.

 

I still like the Military 6x6 deuce and a halves with the pto driven winches. That could do some damage.

 

V-plows can do a LOT towards clearin the way...

 

I think that there is a conflict of terms here. If we are mowing them down, they have already reached us. I think there is no question that even if we don't heavily armor every truck, every truck needs to at least be capable of mowing down zombies without worrying about damaging radiators or tranny coolers.
