For Memorial day, 4th of July, and any time we go up to silver lake I have two 3x6' American flags on 5' poles stuck in my bed rails. (Hell yes I love my country) Buried it past the doors in mud twice, and had her stuck in snow banks higher than the top of the cab. Used an assortment of ratchet straps to hold my tailgate up when the latch failed and broke both tailgate cables. I've hauled 3 snowmobiles up north on a trailer that was only meant to carry 1. The only presets on my radio are set to country stations, and my truck is used as the portable radio at work. I love my truck.
Don't even get me started on all the rigged up crap on my '88 comanche and my '75 w200. Sometimes I scare myself when I come up with ideas...

that sounds similar to what i did. i used a come a long hooked to the rear axle to get my flowmaster off so i could put a y pipe in its place.
i also used a come a long hooked to my dads dodge to get my carrier out of the front differential.
i've used straps hooked up to the hitch to pull fence posts out of the ground.
i used my truck with a series of straps to keep tension on a gigantic tree so it wouldn't fall in the road while a friend cut it.
to get my grill on the back deck i laid some car bars against one side and had my truck on the other side and pulled it up the car bars. that grill is a monster, 2 guys can barely move it.
i've unloaded stuff out of the bed with the back up and slam on the brakes maneuver.
i've actually used my brush guard. by that i mean that i ain't scared to take it off road. one time i was riding down the side of the train tracks to go play in a couple mud holes and my friend had his 01 sierra behind me. there was a tree laying across the path we were going down so i just ran it over and it broke the top off then when my friend cam rolling up his truck caught the broken end behind the front fender and it scratched it all the way to the rear end.
i've backed up to ponds and sat on the tailgate fishing a few times.
i've used my brush guard as a rod holder.
i probably have a few more redneck things that i've done with my truck but i can't think of them now.

maybe the pipe was flared out too much for the new one to slip over easily.
