AZ BS

That’s the ticket. Nice work.

 

I know you're busy right now, but I NEED an Update.....

 

We didn't have one on site today but caught this guy driving around and tracked him down.

 

This

 

Had to call in the real pros. @AZBoatHauler is en route! Co worker cut my strap off the back when the tow truck was here because he couldn't get it untied.

 

lol, dig in a make shift traction board with some overpriced lumber! and pull that biznatch out...

 

Now I kinda want to drive down there and see if my truck can make it through that spot...

 

Already tried concrete rubble and lumbar with traction blocks screwed into it. Every time we dig the back the front end sinks more.

 

So jam those bastards under the front?

 

I've been rubbing it in by driving back and forth through it during all this. Partner is getting more upset each time I go through.

 

Can't get under. Just standing within 5 feet of the front wheels and you lose your shoes.

 

jam some 2 x as wide as you've got*...and go forward...you might need to break suction under chassis too buy digging some shit away....

 

@AZBoatHauler tow strap lasted all of 2 seconds before snapping. Trying front again with both broken straps.

 

We're out! Excavator lifted the front up and out using both broken straps and she's free!

 

Thanks @AZBoatHauler and we are getting you a new strap. I'll track you down if I have to.

 

Quite the recovery effort!

 

You’ve got quite the office view out there. We proved my strap was sub-par so I’m upping my game. Thanks for allowing me to test it without getting my truck dirty!

What we learned - a 17,600lb min break strap isn’t sufficient when suctioned to muck.

 

I'm gonna try and get us the 24,000 pound straps to replace the broken ones.

 

Go big!

@AZBoatHauler I can get us these or the arb one. Your choice.

 

Or maybe a kinetic strap instead?

 

Like those Bubba ropes? Heard of them but never used one. Are they better?

 

Yup, a $300 Yankum delivered to my door by sundown.

 

Look at yankum ropes. They usually aren’t necessary for our terrain but sand or soup they are better than anything.

 

I'm gonna start with these and work my way down

 

I'm thinking your front bumper or tow hitch are coming off before those break.

 

Arb makes one too, I got one way back in the day thru Ramon on t4r group buy.
They allow you to get a moving start and not jack the frame so hard when you come to the ends of your length.

 

Definitely need this. Had concrete guys yelling at me to get a running start but I was trying to take care of my truck, I did it a few times and did not like the sounds my truck was making.

 

Tell the concrete guys to hook up their own damn trucks and do a running start, lol.
