11 years old video is still the best explanation how to properly use the tow bar/hook. ❤

Thank you for building a good product I've towed several of my trucks thousands of miles I do use 1/2 in hi grade chain though great product I paid for it in 2 tows and saved thousands of dollars in mechanic bills on the road

By "glad-handing" the chains you effectively made it one chain. Since the SWL of the 3/8" Grade 80 chain is 7100#'s and the rear of the truck weighs 8800# you are overloaded.

The tug method is not a valid method of checking king pin lock. Check the fifth wheel jaws to see that they are closed around the pin and the position of the release handle to see that it is all the way in. Thanks for showing your chain routing, that was very helpful.

Like the c clamp idea but you forgot to do a safety wrap where the chain connects to the crossbar. One hravy bounce and it could spit the chain out.

that's a cool toy but that steel looks a bit thin to be towing that much weight IMO

@Anthony Nesbitt with your method what happens when you run out of air? I think this would save a hell of alot of money to be able to tow your own truck back home the chain method works ok in a car for a short distance but what about if you need to tow it hundreds of miles?

There is no way that I’d tow my truck this way 😢. The potential (probable) damage to both trucks is obvious !

Not necessarily a "few bucks" my tow bill for one of my trucks was going to be 4500 bucks. I'll have my truck back to my house for less than 1000
