      @TrevorDennis100 4 года назад +14

      I can't imagine any other tow truck being so happy off-road. That had to be the same soft sand that Matt needed to help the white Jeep get through, but Paul's tow truck air'd down a bit, and not only got up those soft slopes, it did it while towing another Jeep. It seems to me that if they ever film a Mad Max sequel in America, they'd do well to hire Paul to build the vehicles.

    That old sling truck is sweet! As for the Hi-lift jack, I have a strap that stays with my Hi-lift jack that I use it to strap the jack to the bumper so if it tries to kick out the strap stops it. It's just a pull strap that tightens when you pull it, and then you lift up on the clasp and it releases it. It tightens and loosens like the shoulder straps on the 4 or 5 point racing harnesses. It just makes me feel better about using it.

    Between rat rod tow truck and the work on the Corvair you're doing for Matt, it makes me want to drop off my 85' F250 (4WD w/ the 460 motor) with you for a few months. It needs to be either a plow truck or a crawler. Or both. I'm in Idaho, but it'd be worth it. Fab Rats would show it the love it needs.

    You guys need to find some railroad rail and make a front bumper for that tow rig. At around 130 lbs a yard should put enough weight for those tires back on the ground while towing. Plus it makes one hell of a “bomb proof” bumper. I enjoy the clips! Keep them coming!

    • @RenaxTM91
      @RenaxTM91 4 года назад

      Its a much lighter car than the Tacoma and Banana, so it doesn't need the same size axle..
      Its a bit of a tradeoff, a lighter car doesn't need the strongest parts, if you want more durability you can build with stronger parts but then its not as light anymore..
