    When I was just a kid, I worked at a gas station for a blow hard ass-bag who thought his wrecker was all that. I was driving a 1969 4x4 suburban at the time, that has a granny low that was unbelievable. It would idle up any hill I ever pointed it at. Any way, ass-bag was braggin' about his wrecker and how with dualies it could out pull me. So we hooked 'em up one night and I dragged his ass across the station parking lot.

    The "secret" is of course traction. He had heavy duty high mileage (hard compound) tires, and even though he weighed more, and had dualies, I had some cheap ass soft compound tires that I had let some air out of when he wasn't looking, and they just had better grip.
    Vehicular tug-of-war is like arm wrestling... It not who is the strongest, it's who has the best technique...

    Take 'em on! What the hell! If you win, great! He'll shut up. If you lose... Do you really care what they think?

    (Hint: Make sure your attachment point is equal to or higher than his.)

    Op how old are you? Because thinking you have something to prove that could and most likely will damage your truck is a bit childish. Why would you risk destroying your truck for bragging rights? Yeah sure you could drag him across the parking lot possibly. Or he could drag you across. But in the end one of your trucks is going to be messed up in some way. And then their going to just pick shit about that. Lesson is screw what this douche thinks about his truck and your truck and just drive it .

    Just to be clear here, the responsible members of TW are not encouraging this guy to participate in illegal activities on the street right?

    The 5 speed that came in those full sizes is pretty weak for a manual tranny behind a v8. If you have an auto and can get a jump on him on pavement, you might be able to get him to tear 1st gear out of it. If he dumps the clutch while in 4x4 and rolling backwards.

    This will be just a matter of time and will shut him up or just let him know you can go to places that he wishes he could.
    Don't risk damage to your truck just to prove a point, his truck will break down soon enough when you see him rush out of work speeding off in a Chevy Cavalier leaving a trail of oil and blue smoke.

    ^^This^^

    Why get into a pissing match with him? We had a couple guys at the station do this once and it ended up poorly for the guy in the Ford F150. Sure it was fun to watch since I wasn't involved and had nothing to lose. Sounds like the 80 techs are in the same situation. If you want to risk breaking something just to say my dick is bigger go for it. Pretty childish to me....

    Best you learn now that getting baited into arguments with the likes of your co worker is a not worth the energy it takes to respond. The person was most likely a bully as a kid and is still practicing demeaning others for self ingradizement. Smile and bask in the confidence that you don't feel the need to assert your lack of intelligence.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Make notes of what he says on a piece of paper with the time and date and tell him to stop each time. After a nice long list of your attempts to have him stop, if he doesn't stop...file a Police report and charge the prick with harassment. If he can't stop himself, you will. Don't get mad. Get even.

    Ignore the idiot. Don't get in a pissing match with the moron and risk damage to your ride.

    You could always be passive aggressive and buy a large bag of birdseed and spread it all around his truck so the birds eat and dump all over his piece of crap Chevy.

    Well... you probably outweigh him so that's an advantage. The locker will help some but it may not be necessary unless you spin in 4Lo. Is he a V8 or V6 and is he taller than you? If you are taller than him and he is a 2wd or leaves it in 2wd then you have very very good odds of winning. When the rope pulls tight between you two the shorter vehicle will get the back end lifted up a little so it has worse traction on the back tires and that weight gets put on the taller vehicle so it gains some extra traction. If you guys are close in height then that does matter much.

    This is the most passive aggressive shit I've seen on here in a long time. You could also just ignore the asshole, shit will come back around to him. Karma is a bitch
