  1. I didn't want to try it with a bed and end up doing damage. They ended up totaling the car but it wasn't because I did a lot more damage. I also didn't want to end up with oil and fuel in the water.
  2. Received a call from the SD for a vehicle that had gone off the road after swerving to miss a deer. This is what we found as the deputy and I arrived about the same time. The Durango was almost straight up and down with about 2 feet of the hood in the water. The large steel culvert was over 8 feet in diameter and backed up somewhat. Decided to just pick it up to avoid damaging the oil pans to avoid leaks into the water way. Picked it up with the Century At this point I had to put a 6x6 on the stinger and push the Dodge away from me as the front tires were hooked on the culvert. Then just lift and set down on the ground. Then got the flatbed to haul back to the shop.

  9. Lady tried pulling our of her alley and trailer got hung up. Winched it far enough to then just pull it ahead with pickup. Bent front and rear jacks on the camper. Checked the ball on the hitch and after getting it pulled ahead the nut was just finger tight, and lock washer was just below the ball.
  10. Once again out hearts are broken and prayers don't seem to be enough
  11. Topic Originally Created in February of 2007: Towed these vehicles yesterday. I had never used the forks before and I had a little time to work with at that point in the day so I used the forks to tow these. I could have wheel lifted or slung the van and the Dakota I could have slung but I had just got done with the van when the guy with the Dakota called and said he had lost a wheel. As you can see I picked the Dodge with the Reese hitch. The van I forked the frame just behind the cross member. You can't see in the pic but the cross member had a flange sticking out in the middle keeping the fork from sliding to the rear of the van. Am looking for comments and suggestions. When I towed the van I stopped to check the tie down chain and it had loosened up some. Other than that I was pretty happy they way they handled. I couldn't feel any movement and felt real solid. I would have liked to have a little more lift to add ground clearance but they didn't drag and I put both in neutral.
