That >8,000 lb. winch is a waste of money.

That was my thought too. With a good synthetic extension line, tree savers, soft shackles and those synthetic line “snatch block” pulleys you could keep the weight down.
You could easily spend close to a grand on that kit though.

 

What cost more the fuel or lumber? Such an ostentatious display of wealth, it’s really sickening.

 

Must be a dad

 

Well they were both for my new boat…..

 

Lol nope, but practice never hurt

 

My first was born a few days ago so I’ve been practicing myself.

 

Boat/yacht- no problem. Shamelessly flaunting dimensional lumber- how dare you

 

Splurged all they could afford just to advertise "I got wood."

 

We haul 45 foot poles this way all the time...

Of course our truck is a bit bigger.. but the overhang and swing radius is.. well.. fun to say the least.

 

OP is back!

Still waiting on that video, OP...

You seem to be spending too much time in the Oregon/Washington craigslist ads forum, and not enough time making your video.

OP is trying really hard to forget this thread ever happened. Like that just one time at band camp thing.

 

Waiting for OP to come back with his video, is like waiting for @kuffer14, or @Jimmy123 to show up again.

 

Clearly we need to tag him more often, since it's possible he forgot about the video he promised us.

@TomHGZ you got a video for us yet?

 

OP ain't ever coming back. He blocked his profile too.

 

I noticed that, too, lol.

He's here, as he's posting elsewhere.

I'd be able to forgive him if he simply came here and admitted that he doesn't have the 1st hand experience to legitimately claim that his original suggestion is not only practical, but safe. His idea stinks of a first year engineering student who's learned a couple statics or efficiency equations and thinks they universally apply to real world situations.

I'm certainly not immune to having an idea that gets shot down for reasons that I had not initially considered. But you're supposed to learn from those situations, not just turn tail and ghost the thread you started.

 

Doesn't even have the sack to admit he was wrong?
There's nothing wrong with owning up to your mistakes.

 

Yeah, but clearly every one else are obviously the ones making the mistakes. We should all apologize to him, as he is clearly the one with all the smarts.

 

well yeah, i would atleast secure the gas cans in the bed.

 

They were, I just took the photo after I dropped the tailgate. Boat doesn't run on hopes and dreams unfortunately.
