B-Team Secret Santa Gift Exchange

I've been meaning to get one of those lug wrenches. My buddy has one an it's awesome.

 

Just came home from work to find a package on my door step. Thanks Charlie (4x4banger) . It's exaclty what I wanted/needed.

 

CBiscuit14, Thank you so much. The personalized letter, and the thought put into the gift was a tribute to the spirit of Christmas, and giving. I will use and enjoy all the items included. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

 

Just checked my package. Won't show up til after xmas.

 

I can't believe you got it already! Glad you liked everything. Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!

 

Hey just got home from a trip. I am glad you like it! I hope thirty feet is long enough! I also thought getting it rated for 30,000lbs what more than strong enough. Again you like it! Merry Christmas!

 

Maintenance mode is almost correct. You make a good detective. I have a couple projects in the works, but the package you sent is an "everybody can always use" type. I really dig the Navy Knife! I work with a bunch of Air Farce guys, so it was especially funny!!!!

Just did traking on my outgoing: "On FedEx vehicle for delivery"

 

Got this today thanks to whoever sent it. I been wanting to buy some

 

Sorry to report my giftee won't be receiving theirs til after Christmas I shipped it yesterday though

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Late, but Merry Christmas everyone!

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOM! Got a package at home right now.... But I am at work the struggle is real!

 

So I ended up using all my secret santa gear. Two D-ring, a tow strap and snatch block.


So it snowed heavy christmas eve. The snow plows were not up and running on the little streets. The cars were still driving on the roads and compacting the snow. Christmas was cold and the snow turned to ice. I made this same turn multiple times on both those days. The next morning however I was in 4hi chatting with my wife driving slow and safe. I started to make the right turn. Almost a U turn onto the street my inlaws live on. The snow had still not been plowed.

The turn is the purple pin



Photos of the turn the next day saturday.


Looks liek some one did the same thing saturday


I started the turn like normal but the truck quickly decided to ignore my turning and braking. Even though I was going slow I hit a post (an older post) that was rotted on the bottom and broke upon contact with my relentless bumper. We started going over the edge and I thought for a moment. This is it.



The cable had been cut when they replaced the two new posts on the end and instead of sinking a new cable in the ground they Ubolted the two cabels pieces together. This did not hold so the post just fell over. The saving grace was my truck was completely sideways and I hit a new post on the side of my truck that held us in place.







I was looking over the edge in shock. It happed so slow it felt unreal. Like this cant be happening. The ABS brake system would not let the tires stop.

My wife quickly snapped me in gear and said what do we need to do. I handed her my phone and said take pictures Ill grab the recovery gear. I couldnt back up because the post was resting agianst the side of my truck. I ran the winch to a tree across the road but this did not work as the back end if the truck started going down the hill while the front went up. I grabed the snatch block given to me by my TW secret santa and ran the cable back to my slider. Once I was off the post. I had the wife spin the wheel in reverse while I winched sideways. This seemed to have the best result.



The good news is we were safe. My $250 diductible is nothing and the body will be fixed. I had to make the same turn several more times this weekend. What did I learn? 40 PSI is too high. A nice 30 in the mountains helps. Using my gears to brake gives me much more control. It was an experiance that will be with me for a long time.

 

WOW! I am just happy to hear you guys are fine! That would be scary as F***! I am glad you had the gear to help you out of that crappy situation. The damage can be fixed and again glad you two are safe.

 

Got my package today! Super pumped! SS, you rock! Got a bad ass waster filter system, a grid it center console organizer, and an ImMrYo mirror relocation bracket! Thank you so much!

 

You are welcome.

 

Thank you again man! Already installed the mirror bracket lol I couldn't wait!

 

Hey thanks Nick! I dont really now how to put pictures up, and didnt get home from work till 3 last night... and back at it now. Thanks for the first aid supplies and the water proof box! It will be perfect when I go fishing/boating! Thanks!

 

Very welcome sir! It's the same kit I carry in my truck or on my Grizzly anytime I ride. I figured it was a great base that can be added to to make it exactly what you want!
