    OK fellas here ya go. It was kind of an iterative process so the vids aren't that great.
    I first dug out around the tree and cut all the shallow roots I could. I then pulled it a little bit with the truck to loosen it and expose more roots to cut. Do this 2-3 times until I was able to cut the last root and basically get it out with my hands and my shovel.
    Worked pretty well but no way I'd try it without cutting most of the roots! Took about 45 mins total.
    I was on pavement at first. Hope I didn't jack anything up. Not sure if tires were spinning or not but I wasn't moving much. I moved it into the "lawn" and I was definitely spinning tires.

    EDIT: Can't upload video...

    Are we really concerned that pulling a little stump caused damage to the truck? I'm thinking the offroading one does with their OR would be more destructive.
