Alabama thread!

has paul found a new vehicle yet? if so i missed it. just kinda curious

 

i dont care what anyone says about that picture of them pulling you out of the mud puddle dave......... all i can rem is paul looking like a monkey jumping in a age while he was in the bed of the truck, still makes me chuckle!

 

think he said something about a hyundai elantra or something..... not sure

 

There is just nothing I can say about it, that doesn't sound horribly ghey.

 

Hey guys, forgot to mention:

I have no recourse in this, but I would recommend against ever using movinghelp.com They're a uhaul subsidiary that will schedule movers for you, but they really don't help much, because they make absolutely no guarantees about the movers or anything else. If anything happens, you're on your own.

Furthermore, I would be very hard-pressed to ever again use "Local Moving Professionals" run by a guy named Shane. They packed my U-Haul about as well as I would have (which is to say, very amateur) and as a result, rather than having room to spare, I had to leave my mower, CRT TV, and a cheap entertainment center behind.

I would have had to leave more had I not fixed some of it myself.

Also, they dropped one of my kenwood floorstanding speakers off the truck and on its side, and although they offered to compensate me for it, I have yet to see a check and do not expect to.

Anyway, just a heads up. If anyone actually knows this "Shane", let me know!

 

You never let that stop you before Dave!

 

Touché, sir.

 

now it works. thanks mat!!!

 

There is a 75% chance i put the carpet in that house.

 

Wowza... am I the only person who thinks this looks incredibly dangerous?

Snatch block, treesaver, winch?

I understand the tools may not have been available at the time, but for future trips where someone is 2WD and has an open diff, this may be something to think about. Make sure someone has proper recovery tools so that nobody gets run over. (Yeah yeah, I know it's kinda trolling, but it looks really sketchy)

 

There's a reason I'm not in the picture... Skurrd me, for sure.

 

his tires were bald and was not going anywhere. lol. we ended up winching him out because there wasn't enough room to pull him out.

 

his tires werent bald...... they were just terra grapplers, just about brand new as well.

and there is a reason i wasnt in the pic as well jim.......... i was too busy standing by you making fun of the whole thing

 

Yeah, they were new tires. I was wenched out. This was basically for a photo opp. We all knew that pulling on the chain wasn't going to free me.

 

You get 4wd for five minutes and you're already acting all bad, I see how it is.

 

just trying to be like you........ MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ha, yeah... wasn't trying to stir up stink, just thought that when I saw that it looked really sketchy, and it'd be a good opportunity to bring up proper recovery technique.

Now if someone was straddling the winch cable under load while winching him out, then maybe all hope is lost

 

As was said, this was done for fun, and as a photo op. When we did use the winch, we were observing safety and made sure nobody was in harms way. Funny thing is, pulling by hand we actually almost freed him!

 

bill!!! i need help! i need to go a head and replace all bearings and seals...can you help me out so i don't have to give a kidney and liver?

 

got new tires for the truck this weekend well pauls old tires lol thanks to paul and kyle for the help of putting them on to save time lol heres some pics of them and a little mud.
