Wow, that is something. I read most of it. I did pull a loaded beer truck out of a ditch one time. I pulled it with a 75 Bronco (the small one). I was on dirt so I wasnt too concerned about damaging parts. I was very suprised at the feat. The truck driver was very suprised as well, and offered me a case of beer, which I turned down, cause I dont drink. But it was alot of fun.

Hey I like the story thats so serious stuff. That little extra pull that everyone talked about needed to have a nice shinny BLUE OVAL on it! hahaha. No really that is great I don't care what they say. I live on a farm and have gotten our farm truck a 1984 jeep pickup 4x4 stuck so bad after the snow melted that we had to use a tractor that was 4x4 because the two wheel drive one got stuck too. Any way back to your subject it is not just a little extra pull that got it out because if that were the case then a while back when I tried to help out this guy down the street that got his chevy 3500 flat utility bed stuck in his front yard then my little 4x4 dakota 318 could have pulled it out and it didn't not even close I ended up getting my self almost to stuck to get out myself. My Dad came by with his 1997 F250 crew cab 4x4 diesel and pulled it out easily even though the truck had by then gotten sunk up to the rear axel because when I pulled on it with my little truck it sank more. So it other words ROCK ON MAN good job.
I do drive a Ford now. A 02 F150 ext cab flareside 4x4 4.6
Ford the best never rest!
If it ain't built Ford tough then the builder messed up!
