well got to test the blazer this weekend
**UPDATED** video on page 2
I get home from work at about 5 or so on friday night and my fiancee said to me "My dad got the truck stuck up north, so can we take your truck instead of my car?" I said "sure" since we were going up to the Wisconsin Dells area anyways to do some snow skiing. Now when we got to the cabin, i thought he got his s10 truck stuck...nope, it was a 3500 Dodge dump truck with a snow plow that he got stuck. i was like well we can try to get her out. first we tried with a chain, just couldnt keep traction on the snowy driveway, so i told him i would get out my recovery strap and try to yank him out with that. after 4 or 5 good hard yanks and all four of my tires smoking, i finally got him out. the snow plow was sitting on the frame rails and i have to pull the truck about 10 feet before he could gain traction and back out of his spot. I was super surprised that the blazer got him out, i really had my doubts. then on sunday, my soon to be father-in-law went for the late doe hunt, and while he got back into his jeep, he slid down into the ditch and couldnt get out. he called me and told me to come get him out, now i was smart and got a video of me pulling a jeep out of a ditch! I will post the video once my fiancee's little sister gives it to me. in the end, i still had fun pulling him out haha.

yea thats what my plan is, i attend UW-Whitewater and the university does not plow well in the parking lots in the winter so a lot of students get stuck. So once the snow flies some more, I will drive around and if i see someone stuck ill see if they want to get pulled out for a small fee haha

i wish it snowed here so i can pull out people for money, all i get is floods in the neighborhood next to mine, and im too nice to see a engine hydrolocked and then charge money. gah. its so funny to see people sitting on top of their cars waving for help. hahaha
