Kris,how do you have the pvc secured to stay in place. I've thought about using round pvc instead of square in mine but can't figure out how to keep em in place.

Good job, but dont use front outriggers when rear pulling. It creates torque buddy. Just trying help save your equipment. Otherwise, PERFECT!!!

That appears to be a twin stick 7 speed mack great transmission shifts sort of like the old 5 &4 used to find in older chevy gassers tandem Dump great transmission also look like your break dancing going down the road but tough just remember if you ever need to put PTO in with twin stick mack throw your auxiliary in neutral and use your main for PTO control 😂and 😂 great job Kris

Crazy how only 1 truck responds to a scene like that. Where I’m From, When we get a call from state police for a bad tractor trailer crash or rollover they send out heavys and flatbeds with a dumpster for debris. & If its hazmat, they’ll roll out a company Hazmat truck. That way we dont have to call for anything & we’ll have everything there at once.

@Chandler7157 yes they can but they make an enormous amount of torque even at idle so as long as you are taking off in the right gear you should never stall one.. one diff is you just let the clutch out at idle you don't need to give it throttle til the clutch is fully out
