I SCREWED Up
So Im at work and one of my guys in the steel shop was wooried about getting the forklift stuck in the yard. We had a good bit of rain today. He asked me if I would drive it and get some steel for him so I said sure. I went and layed a bunch of 4X4 out to make some cribbing and a peice of plate to drive on. Everything was going great......I thought. Well I backed up and fell of the plate and the back end sunk about 8". So know I have a 7.5 ton lift stuck bigger then Dallas. I remind you this thing weighs in the neighborhood of 25000lbs. I start driving boards under the wheels that was a no go. So I start hooking up chains. A couple guys got Powerstrokes so I hook them up to it. 2 of them. They give it hell for a while and got knowwhere. So I go and jump in the tractor the could ol' CUMMINS. Hooker up and let her eat. Looked cool as could be. Abunch of black smoke and 6 35" mudders smokin. Got know where. The boss man get his cummings, also a dually, and hooks to me and we hammerdown. Both of us leave 20 foot of black marks on the pavement. I wish I had a camera. It was great. It made them furd boys mad one of which was my old man, of course everyone was talking ford this dodge that blah blah blah, so I tell them im only going to say one thing.... I tell them they dont put a POWERJOKE in a BIG RIG and walk out the room. Sorry ford guys I had to say it.

Nope txpower that wasnt me. I have been all over this great state but never there.
O my old mans ford is a 97 F-350 C/C SRW 4X4 with intake a chip. The other was a 01 or 02 F-250 C/C sort bed. Im pretty sure it didnt have anything done to it.
As for pix im sorry guys. I wish to god I hade a camera. I think im going to start carrying one around. I had to pull it out once before but I could get in line with it. No big deal. This time we could only pull from 90 degrees of of it. Not only was it sunk but we had to turn it too.
