Some real Red Green rigging here, a one chain hookup that I carry anyway. I went to get a stalled cart out of a snowy field from where my Dad was cutting some firewood. I figure out on the spot I could make a wrecker with a piece of chain, ran it back, hit the door remote and pushed it right in the shop,,

That's cool, never thought of doing something like that. Now I can't have the plow that everything comes off the truck.

You know despite my truck being a piece of ****, it certainly isnt outstanding I like it in its own right. Its a 91 and I wouldnt mind limping it until something better comes along, should really find another one and reman it to fill in until the new hybreds become a proven commodity. I have a complete heavy service truck for the occasions when nothing elde will do but after bouncing in pickups for 30 yrs I have it down to a science. I have it figured that I can do 98% of the work with what I have with me at the time or without grabbing additional tooling beyond special parts needed for a project. Now with hi performance battery tools its even smoother. I used to try and carry everything but I got it down where its managable and if I replace my stock as needed I can get thru things in a crisis without adding to road time or the need for a heavier truck. I see guys tool trucks think they gotta have everything, cant find nuthin. I am better off with less, I dont need to carry a 3 ton come-alng when a cheap wire one will do, I can make do with at hand easier than tote a lot of equipment around like an anchor. I do have some goodies that make it user friendly and it might get a couple fenders and a shot of paint yet before she retires. I have a heavy inverter on it which I do use on occasion and I create custom holders and a lot of things have dual uses. Keep it full of gas can go anywhere in any kind of weather at any time and try to do anything,,, ha if I have to.

Sorry, I hope you didn't think I was trying to bag on your truck. I have a similar F150 w/ 300,000 on the ticker. It's been a great truck. I was just trying to be funny :thumbup:

A plow and truck is a swiss army knife of sorts, isn't it. I use mine to remove gravel from the driveway, the gravel carries the snow with it, and various yard work like pulling stumps and moving logs that the tree trimmer didn't want to chop into firewood.
