A few towing and recovery reminders

Post by YJ » Sat Dec 16, 2006 7:34 pm

When towing a broke vehicle. Oh say, like a blue Ford truck, there are a few things to remember.

1). Make sure the rear bumper of the tow vehicle is welded on good.

2). Make sure the automatic tranny on the back up tow vehicle can handle it.

3). Last but not least. Once you get it on a trailer, make sure you dont position the rear strap where a bolt from the third member can poke a hole in it!

:lol2:

All in all a fun, but expensive (for some) day.

You guys have a great Christmas and New Years!

i wasnt the backup vehicle, i was just cool enough to do it.

and the tranny was up to it, it just got a little hot and puked some, but then it got better :D

Thanks for the help everyone. Its amazing how a tiny lil part such as a needle and seat can ruin your day, lol. It was a fun carnage filled day though, something we don't generally get to enjoy on bobcat.

I'm up loading my pics and vid to photobucket now. Good times and carnage! Although, I am seeing a trend. The last two trips I have been on Jason has broken a R&P and Matt has been towed out
