    I've really got to get a winch put on my truck

    Last weekend I came across a 217 lb stove. Had mom with me so I parked the truck in front of it to guard it and called my dad to come help me load it since we weren't too far from home. Lol, was afraid to even drive up the street the rest of the way to check for stuff in case someone came along behind me before dad got there. If my mom didn't have so many replaced parts I'd have sat her in a chair next to it with a hose and finished the street first. Mom - *Squirts next truck to come along* ''Nothing to see here, move along!''



    Actually did pretty good that day considering weather conditions are not favorable to folks putting stuff out, had a 1/2 ton just in steel.

    Gotta love the stories that come of of doing this kind of thing, make good tales around the table at holidays!! ROF!!

    Or a tommy lift gate. A winch would only be good on your rig if you have a ramp to pull it up.
