    I will send you a 20% off coupon if you need it...price might be down to $299 again at the first of the month.

    I hope you got it out of there ok Tater. Was only joking about the boot prints. In walmart over the weekend there was a rack of boots on close-out, tried on almost every one that might fit but didn't find a single pair that didn't hurt my feet, either while walking, or squattin down. Seems every boot's got those deep grips in them now days. I like the good ol timey kind, that gripped without the deep grooves. Used to you didn't hardly see the deep ones, in fact, the first ones I ever had was some from an old Army-Navy store, and they were jungle boots. Anyway, your boot prints all around reminded me of that Walmart trip, I musta walked around there an hour trying to find a pair that didn't hurt ; )

    Sounds like a good excuse to have a couple beers..been their twice this year....back up at an old school house to get an aluminum boat out of a teee line and she sunk up to the axels, 6 times i made a mess of that yard, glad it was my moms place and not a costomers. 6500lbs truck. 2nd time this spring backing up to pull a mangled camper out of a tree line, back up a truck length to far and she sunk up to the axels, I really need to get my front shaft fixed and the new winch on the trailer

    I put the coupon code in your strikes again thread, page 7 or 8.
    1st question, no comealongs? I've done it using the comealong to work the truck back and forth so I could build up under the wheels. all you have to pull is 6in so you can get a rock under it, then pull 6 in back to get a rock under the front side of the tire and repeat.
    2nd


    why didn't you have one of these?

    or one of these?

    That wheel winch sounds cool but I bet a 12k hf winch and material to build a winch bumper would be cheaper and easier to easy.
