    Steve, it is on. You'll have video, win, lose, or draw. The only sandbags you'll see will be hanging over the cables to prevent anyone from getting all kilt.

    (Outside of this super heated thread, the truck is totally awesome)

    That which you manifest is before you.

      Brian, as you've described it, at least, that stump is bulldozer fodder. I'm, still (not) betting against it.

      I can't wait to see the video, win lose or draw.

      That's why I love Bangshift. It's always something. I love it. Fun, fun, fun.

        I'm not doubting the awesomeness of Brutus. I'll take you at your word that you'll show the unvarnished truth on the stump pulling escapade. Bry, I think you're taking on more than you can chew here. A few years back I was able to start a rebellion and almost owned the board, until those mettling Bangshifters foiled my plans. Try me on for size and bet the board.

          mettling Banshifters--that's the best pun I've read all day. I'm assuming it's not misspelled.

I've had it! I don't give a crap about Brian any more. Tension-up those cables till they're ready to snap, and show us how its done. And if you lay claim to stump pulling - TC and Dippy boy, post up the pics or STFU.

              My uncle once yanked a few stumps with an MG B roadster.

              But that was back when he was still drinkin'...




              Back up... get some momentum... put in 1st gear, mat it, pop the clutch... SLAM! Repeat until stump is out, or bumper is removed...

                    I loves the Bruab but I'll put my $$ on dulcich. Let me know whose betting against Steve - I will take the other side.

                      That SO reminds me...Way, way back in the day. Late 70's or early 80's...a guy at the mill where I worked got to arguing with another guy over whose truck was stronger than the other. Guy 1 had a monster truck, a show truck, a 50,000 dollar big rig like Grave Digger. I mean big and tall and nasty. Guy 2 had a stock F-150.

                      First, you'd have to know these two characters, and there's not enough room here to tell that story. And you'd have to know how shift workers at a paper mill interact. This was a real big deal.

                      So on a Sunday morning after 3rd shift they chained those two trucks together to find out which could pull the other around the mill parking lot. It was a miniature spectacle, for sure. Small audience, big implications.

                      Mister Scott's stock F-150 immediately pulled the bumper off of the giant show truck. Scott threw the bumper and the chain into the bed of his truck and rode around with it for a couple of months. Trophy.

                            You know, the time for talk is over. Brutus is at home waiting, and Brian is on vacation....

                            We need to see some stump pulling action, damn it!
