Anyone ever rip out a turbo diesel off a log with their 4.0? I just did. Poor guy reacted incorrectly when some lady cut across the double yellow. Then he hit a patch of salt (like a freaking ounce and a half up in Sussex nj). I ripped him right off with my bfg highways upfront and rugged terrains in the rear.

This may not be a big thing for anyone else, but my first experience having to pull a truck thats like twice mine off of something he couldnt get himself out of. Proud and impressed by our little 4.0s

Got me there.. I don't have any pics of the action -_- .

And yes the trucks 4x4 wasnt "working" and he dug his rear wheels into the mud and snow trying to get out. So I just did a "I think I can" tug.

I remebered that one youtube video of the kid pulling that rig with his front bumper and ripping his bumper off so I used the rear lmfao..

Believe me or not, I should have gotten pictures before posting on the forum of death -_-

@ragertom holy crap your truck looks like a single cab version of my baby

I was afraid of not being able to do it, infront of the traffic we stopped. (Main road, but technically a back road) Ahaha thank god it worked.
