    The last PLS I had we called her Happy Hooker. Which the Commander wasn’t really happy with our call sign, but everyone kept using the name. I had one of those FRS (Forward Repair System) tool box that was loaded on the back. You should get one of those. That thing had every tool you need. From welders to plasma cutters and large compressor. But I was used to hook up to all loads from pallet to connex containers hence the name “hooker”. I was whored out to every mission. One thing to remember in the dead of winter that thing likes to throw belts off the Generator (alternator). Easy access though. It’s right behind the panel in the middle of the back of cab. And also get yourself an extra charge pipe after the turbo. When it’s cold it likes to blow a rip in them and you won’t get any boost. During a mission I ended up using two rolls of duct tape and 150 zip ties to get out of there to only hold 17psi of boost before it blew. She gets up to about 32psi. You should get yourself a few of those pallets (we call CROPs) and pre load your gear on them and have them ready just to pickup and go for any mission pick your CROP. They also have a trailer you can load using the hook arm with another container or CROP. To load containers you will have to have a CHU or ECHU (enhanced container handling unit) added to your PLS. That Tac4 suspension is a beast.

      Yeah, some of the young guys are obviously quite jealous of him and feel threatened by his work ethic and the respect & admiration that Heavy D has for him, which is why they try to put him down and make out that he's a bumbling dinosaur or something. Not only does Allan have decades of knowledge regarding all things mechanical and machinery-related (which results in him being a great problem-solver), but he also possesses more fitness, strength and stamina than most of the young bucks there half his age too.
      I didn't see any of the other guys charging down the mountainside on foot whilst filming at the same time; no, they were sitting in their airconditioned SUVs playing with their drones.

      I know the feeling. The same with me and his neon green HET wrecker. I drove the HET & my unit logged in over 2.2 million mission miles in Iraq in 2003/2004. I miss my HET. I was shortly assigned to a PLS unit, but fought my way back to my HET unit. Don't get me wrong, I like the PLS, just like my HET even more.

    Hey guys! My hubby and I love your channel. You have some awesome videos. I watched 'Nearly lost my best friend' and I just wanted to give you both a 'momma hug (I'm 63 lol) I love how you are always helping folks.
    I would like you to do something for me. We've had some rough times and rode them out. Since 2017 I lost my job, then my home. I moved in with mt future husband, he was diagnosed with emphysema, he lost his job, and we lost the home we were renting. We had a 2 door Rav4 and our clothes. Then a teenage girl rearended us while she was texting. Then we just had our clothes.
    But God has our backs. We got a van. Moved up to an RV but had to sell the van. Now we are in a fifth wheel. We have a 1993 Cherokee that runs well. As soon as I figure out how to change 2 broken door latches and replace the brake light switch and put the window back on track it will be golden.
    We are blessed. There is one thing more and I would feel pretty satisfied. Could you please stop blasting the music on your videos!? Dang son, I'm wearing out the volume button. You may have possibly gone a bit overboard with it.

    I’ve watched your channel for quite a while. A bit of real world power. I own a 65000 lb Swaploader Hooklift. I have loaded many 30 yard containers with a net weight of over 100,000 lbs onto the truck. definitely not so good for the chassis, but I got the job done. If you anchor the front of the chassis you will dead lift a bazaar amount of weight. The unit you have is a very different geometry. The real trick is to take the tandems and slide them forward 60 inches and put a non-steerable drop axle in the back. The maneuverability is off the charts.

    Guys. A word of the wise from a professional mechanic. Don't ever pull anything from the front of the tow vehicle. Not only can your rigging come back through the window and kill you. The front suspension cannot handle the weight. And the ring and pinion in your differential are smaller then the rear. Also the gears are fully worn in, going forward but not backwards. The Pinion gets pulled away into the ring gear.

I do agree with the front pull though… it could be fine in a short distance low resistance tow… but there was nothing to gain vs the risk in this situation.
