Dodge cummins bends in half at tug-o-war

[Zeus33rd]

This is the wildest damn thing I have seen in a LOOOONG time. Dudes truck bends almost entirely in half during a tug-o-war...they bend it back straight with tractors....then he starts it up and pulls the other truck down the track.. Ha!

Lol. Leverage will get you.

 

[FOR MUD]

I'm not surprised......Each one of the blocks is a yard of concrete ( 2500lbs to 3500lbs each depending on mix )
Something had to give.
Also...the cable is tied off to the front of the bed right where the frame bends...Plus the angle of the cable makes thing worst.

Thats an incredible video. Dude had a ton of weight in the back of his truck.

If that video wasn't bad enough for that poor dodge watch what happens after. At the end of the video.

Yeah, I saw the same video earlier today. That would have been an awesome event to experience first hand, wish I could have been there!

Dude has enough cred for a couple life times

Lots of those happen with that kind of use, triple the weight/traction and light duty trucks blow up with WAY turned up medium duty truck engines in them.

Also, in the first pull, they pull from the top of one of the concrete blocks in the bed, that's way more leverage against the frame. In the second pull where he "wins", it's down on the bumper. Pretty likely that whole thing was staged, but if not, they set him up for failure.

And in the 2nd pull, the "little Dodge" doesn't even spin a tire. One of those trucks is WAY heavier than the other with all that concrete/steel added front/back.

Still kinda fun to watch though

That Dodge is cursed

Crazy. Still had the power to Out pull the huge truck. Then got smashed after. As if the frame bending wasn't bad enough.
