Default Victory for the dakota!

So yeah... leaving the parts store...i look down the road. 18 wheeler hung up on a snow bank.

Upon further inspection. he drove over the bank with the front drivers wheel. tthat wheel made it. but the duels didnt have a chance.

the passenger duels where off the ground. and the drivers side duels on the trailer were off the ground..

hook the MASSIVE 1992 dodge dakota ext cab with the the powerful 318 V8 4x4 with the BFG mud terrians on it. to the transport with the chain that i carry for such occasions..


It took about 10 min to pull it 6 or 7 feet up and over the bank. with a few repositions and such. but we got it !

I had an audience of about 20 people that came out to watch.

I was proud of the old girl!

NICE!!!!!!!!! Did you get any pics? I've always wondered if these trucks were up to a job that big! Was it just the cab, or did he have a trailer?

What transfer case position were you in? 4lo?

nicely done. I remember when my dad pulled a large bread truck out of a ditch with an early 90s ram(318 4x4). the truck was close to new at the time. put it in 4 lo and out it came. this was after a few failed attempts made by an 18 wheeler . those old magnums are tough.
