I didn't purposely post it twice.... I'm having connection issues so I posted it and it was nowhere to be found when I refreshed.

Wow that's pretty cool!

Driveway Dreams · 02-10-2010, 02:55 PM

Wow! What an add. That is too cool. I wonder how far and how fast it pulled it. Too bad they can't do one like that now days.

I like the quote behind the big truck in the side shot.

3r!c84 · 02-10-2010, 03:38 PM

its ok bro, i get what you mean

Pyrotechnic · 02-10-2010, 04:16 PM

Well it's a 4x4, so they were probably able to use 4 low to help get things rolling.

I would have opted for the SM465 then stuck it in granny gear and put the transfer case in 4 low to start off. Then lets just hope the radiator keeps the screaming 6 cool.

*SMiller* · 02-10-2010, 04:40 PM

In real life NO truck would ever get that thing moving, the truck would melt all 4 tires off without ever budging the thing. Cool picture though...

*78 Chevyrado* · 02-10-2010, 04:48 PM

Good point! All you need is a downward hill and a little momentum...and anythings possible.
