Stupid Stupid Stupid

[farmtruc]

I decided to cut some two trees down next to my carport becuase one was rotting inside and the other one was just plain in the way (for you green type ppl, i have tons of trees left, lol) so they both came down just fine,

where the stupid part comes in is, i hooked the tahoe up to the tree stump, after i dug around and cut the roots, then started pulling on it, well a few more tugs and it woulnd't budge, so i gave it another tug with the tahoe, and the cheap ass chain snapped, whipped forward, and took out my back window

how stupid is that, lol

well, that was a nice waste of money,

see Hit Man X, don't feel bad about that previous post you put up, it happens to all of us, lol,

Aw that sucks. I did that to my bosses jeep one time pulling a stump. He got a slider window after that and someone else broke it two other times.

HAHAHA, that is bad! I feel bad laughing but can't help myself!

Did you have the dual back doors or tailgate?

At least it did not come though the back window and get you in the back of the head.

I have the two doors that swing out, so not too bad, better than that big one , that goes across, i know it's funny, thought you guys would get a laugh out of that.
hahahahahahahahahah

red, ya, some glass hit me, but it didn't make it all the way up, it put some nice dents in the back door , in the exact same shape as 6 links of chain, man it hit hard

oh well, life goes on, lol

Arnt you supposed to put a blanket or something like that over the chain for just that reason??

[farmtruc]

hahaha, ya, but i thought of that after the fact, after a long days work, i just wanted to get that damn stump out of the ground.

don't tell anyone, but i had to have my neighbor come over with his 03' diesel doge 3/4 ton and rip it out, better his truck than mine, hehehe

those damn diesels are freaking strong btw,

That is always a good idea. When I am out wheeln&#39; I always see idiots winching with no weight on the cable. All I can do is shake my head and run like a scared little girl to get my rig between me and that cable.

Of course I ain&#39;t dissn&#39; you, but I would recommend that you use a strap and not chain. It will be easier on your truck and a strap doesn&#39;t store energy so it won&#39;t go flying if it ever snaps&#33;

good tip, i should have posted and asked for suggestions, hahah, oh well, it&#39;s just money, doh
