"The first guy to try this will..." - You are certainly right when talking about civilian trucks, but I bet those old WWII military trucks could handle it.
I was a truck driver in the Army. This is something you'd only do in the field when you don't have time to wait. If you do it right, you won't hurt the radiator. At that point you don't care about a twisted bumper or dented hood.
I was referring to anyone doing this now, excluding in my scenario anyone in the military in a last resort situation. We've all known too many stupid people who can't tie their shoelaces, much less get a 5 ton truck to move 2 feet in reverse with a clutch.
Will work very well with my utility vehicle, since it has a hitch on the front and rear. Great idea, will save me plenty of time in an emergency situation.

Deletethe chain needs to go UNDER the bumper.
ReplyDeleteI don't created this stuff, I just find it and share it
DeleteIt works. Had do do it with a 3/4 ton dodge power wagon back in the 70's. this is out of a TM (training manual).
DeleteIt hooks 🪝under and over the frame rails where the bumper connects to. Extra wrap under bumper wouldn't hurt it for sure.
DeleteNo teniu feina?
