Looks interesting but there was some popup that I couldn't 'x' to close.
It blocked the whole screen.

I have a theory.
The longer I stare at an impossible project, the easier it becomes.
Had 2 guys trying to lift a busted up 2 story staircase.

After they left, I raise it by myself.

Doesn't pop up here but maybe it's "Ghostery" I have installed.

Awesome share Scott, love the "mechanical advantage"!!!!

They sure got it done! Looks like an intake snorkel on the front left fender, no????

Moments before he went thru the ice, Ivan said "Dimitri! Hold my wodka and watch this! :naughty:

ETA: I'd like to know who hooked up the cables. They've got to be pulling on the axle or frame, that truck has to be pretty heavy when it's filled with water.

Agree, must have been cold too.
I wonder it the rotating post is stuck into bottom also? ( at the angle it is at.)

That technique could come in handy one day, maybe a quad or utv stuck or high centred, thanks for sharing
