Gotta get the shackle off the electric forklift. Was dragging Mom's truck into the shop with it the other week
Just sayin. After 3 days in bed, I could barely hold that sucker up to paint under neath it. Nice work Nate!!

Sorry to hear you were down with a bug Zach.
Hook looks sweet though!!
Although you clearly stole Will's paint design.

No way! Mine is definitely gloss black!! It may have to be sanded to fit... Plenty of primer, and couple extra coats of paint.
I like having a shackle point too. Dad welded up a tri-ball adjustable hitch when I had my lifted F150. I had him add a shackle point on it too. Came in handy a few times. But also had to get one with the long bolt/pin and put a nut on it so idiots wouldnt steal it!

My 3ball adjustable hitch and the pintle hitch stay on the back of the truck for damage control Figure if I put the radiator through the block, it will slow a car down a little bit.

I dont like to leave my hitch in my receiver for 2 reasons. First is have you ever walked behind your truck late at night and whacked your shin on one? You may say a few choice words. Second is I live in Minnesota and the hitch will rust in to the receiver very fast and I have battled removing hitches out and again the choice words come out.

I was about to drag my balls.. Today hauling a load of redoak firewood. 3/4 ton Dodge sitting on the stops on the leaf springs. Thought I was gonna have to take the hitch out :msp_scared: Rain has all the wood soaking wet!
Oh man does that hurt! Been there, done that!

I've done the shin whack on a hitch. . . Sucks! Don't have the rusting problem here, nor the theft of hitches really.
Most trucks you see on the road will have their hitch in.
Sheesh, you guys are some serious anti-hook users!!
Somebody use one already dang nabbit!!

Spun out in the driveway yesterday Nate, thought I was going to get to use the hitch
Then had to lock er in 4wd to get to the woodpile. The ground here is saturated from rain. And all I have on the ground that I could pull around is 36" x 8' or bigger.

Just so you know, doing broadies in the driveway doesn't constitute "spinning out".

Does that mean Id have time to use my hitch?
Maybe Ill get a chance over the weekend. Gotta be something I can drag around, somewhere. I know the mudhole is still back in the woods, but missing the F150 with the 38"s

The hook is sweet
Got a chance to try out the new hook today. Worked great! If I can figure out how to post a video I'll put one of them on too.

The new hook
OK, I think this is how it's done... We used the 79 Jeep for a log skidder today with the new hook- worked like a charm. Now if only I can talk the wife into a skidsteer so I can play with all the big logs we brought up today...
