Hunter's line about the window conversion is excellent! " I don't know how to do this , but I am going to give it a try. " . Lived much of my life that way. It's been fun.

[@jcar1417]

The yankum 5:1 set up is equal to a 3:1 because of friction, an Australian (?) KZbinr did a video using multiple loadcells . The yankum and factor55 were pretty equivalent with actual snatch blocks being the clear winner with another company that had a much larger ring coming in second. I thing rings are fine for a off-roader but for tow trucks the little bit of added weight of snatch blocks is well worth having them.

[@edwinschlee8374]

He had that backhoe buried but all the rope tricks got him out! Nice looking Silo Houses. Got some towing done and some and fishing too. Exhaust put on the truck for Tucker and Trevor. And Sean and Hunter got the wipers on the rollback.

[@abertzaleharroaii7449]

It's the technique, the bowl in the ground and the retro in the air for more traction. Even with a flat wheel it comes out easy. This backhoe is impressive in terms of capabilities. Wheel loaders are more technical to recover. At least it's a great opportunity and always a pleasure to see the old recker and the team. Still super cool 💪🏻👌🏻🤘🏻

Casey tested those rings, pulling through the center hole (not wrapped around)-- to try to pull it apart. And it tested over 80k lbs and the rope broke; and the ring still held. So we still don't know what it takes to pull those rings apart-- but it's more than 80k lbs.

Look up 'Florida off road Recovery'. He has made some pretty cool wheel chocks that keep his recovery vehicle from sliding when he winches out insane loads.

[@archeryhunter86-]

Was thinking this exact same thing. Pretty crazy how heavy of equipment he has pulled out with his jeep.

[@thorin693]

Or check out the wheel chocks used with big trucks they have some heavy steel ones that will stop a 18 wheeler.

[@justacoupleofkids320]

Just now at the part of the video where Shawn is unboxing the new wiper system, good luck! I installed that setup in my Cobra replica, it’s not as straightforward as you might hope and from what I’ve heard, not terribly robust. I’ve test run them but I’m hoping I never actually have to use them. EDIT think you should have flared the ends of the aluminum tubing so that it locks into slots in the motor housing and the transmission housings. Be sure and test run the wipers with zip ties in place of the wiper arms in case the system doesn’t work exactly as you hoped.

[@maricanic]

hi Paul, I like what you guys are doing with the rat back. I have a 49 myself that I welded on a Camaro front suspension to the frame on in the 80's. I had problems all the time with the original door latches, the doors would fly open when i went around corners. I suggest installing a bear claw door latch kit on the rat back.

[@doughaven-rf8id]

Those grain bin cabins certainly are sweet. In our part of the country, MN/ND there are literally thousands of small bins like that sitting empty as they are just too small to bother using for crop storage these days. Those look to be about 5,000 bushel capacity. Most farmers now are using 20,000 to 50,000 bushel bins. Nice maintenance free structure and perfect cabin size.

[@yellowstonejim]

20:18 Paul doesn't close door until truck starts because... 1. if it doesn't start he'll have to get out. 2. If it's making a catastrophe noise he'll have to get out. 3. It's faster to the fire extinguisher with the door open. 4. He can't do more than one thing at a time. 5. Dramatic effect.

[@patrickkatzenstein5959]

The military taught me that. when you use a snatch block, it doubles your pulling power −10% for each pully.

[@mrfordfairmont]

make sure you check the ropes that when through the rings as the rings are causing friction... friction creats heat which take the rope temp to the melting point of the deema rope which will cause failure! the best thing to use for blocks are pully blocks as there is no friction on the roller

[@Phildoh]

@fabrats maybe take your anchor for the tow truck and add an adjustable height option to it. Eventually you'll be on a hill or in a ditch and it won't work for height reasons. 👍

[@kjo1922]

You should use the wheelie cleat in the stored position to keep vehicles you're towing (with the boom) from running into the back of the wrecker.

Knew someone who was a volunteer on a wilderness search and rescue squad. He said most bad situations that needed help were 4x4s and very few 2 wheeler vehicles. Two wheelers know they will get stuck, and avoid dumb behaviour.
