That's a good way to screw up your truck, but you can probably do it. Drag him around the lot a couple times and make sure you get it on video.

OOOO OOOOO OOOOOO can I. . . PLEASE CAN I drag him around. . . .pretty please. [8D]

anyway. . that 5.4 in my eyes has no *****. put your truck in 4L and ease into the throttle. you'll be spinning the tires but you'll prolly drag him.


edit: if you realy want to show off try a sled pulling contest and start at 10K#

If we do hook up we are going to do it on the dirt I am not going to hook to him on the pavement.Dirt does give alittle,you hook up on the pavement you are going to brake something.Thanks for the reply

sounds like a good way to get hurt. Use a chain or rope shorter than the bed of your truck.

I agree with Todd.... Video this fun and let us all see who does it to whom.... waiting for the show........

By the way dirt is good and short chain or strap is also......

You're joking, right?

I once saw a bunch of people nearly killed when the tie-line broke doing this. If you're intent, are you going to make sure the trucks are of equal weight and distribution, equal gearing, same tires, etc. Or, why bother?

All the best and be careful!

Agree with Avanti - use that other brain up there in your head. Think twice - act once - and don't regret it.

Be carefull guys.

YOU CAN DO IT! BUT PLEASE DON'T USE A CHAIN. IF IT SNAPS, THE LOOSE END COULD COME THROUGH THE BACK OF YOUR CAB OR YOUR FRIENDS. USE A ****** STRAP WITH LOOPS--NO HOOKS. I NEARLY GOT MY HEAD TAKEN OFF THIS WAY A LONG LONG TIME AGO!
