I wonder how easy it was, to do wheelstands with that rig? I'm surprised the top rear of the cab doesn't show regular contact with whatever was behind it!

Reminds me of the good days, PS don't ever buy government surplus, you might get one of the vehicles I drove.

I wouldn't like to see the front end of that Humvee after that little nose-into-the-ground exercise!
Could be more than a few suspension components that need replacing!

I like the trailers with a hitch in the rear so when your stuck in Mud you can put a ball in there and have a solid place to pull the trailer out from.

All that humvee needs is flywheels on the back axle so you can feed some throttle to get the front end up.

Our new arsehole rich neighbor who I had to put the power in for last year. Over weight, loaded wrong and got a ratchet strap holding the bucket. I surmise around 30/31k lbs back there. Truck 6/7k lbs, trailer 7k lbs, and backhoe 17k lbs

My bad, I was off by 9.8 lbs. I'm sure the 450 gallon water tank makes up those few pounds.

I think his son might have that tune since he drives one with a tailpipe tip you could shove a watermelon in and hear a mile away. That would be the dad there that thinks he knows it all and you can't say schit cause in someway you are doing the same thing you are complaining about.

But it's got "HD" on the door, doesn't that stand for "Heavy Duty"??
Even a dually crew cab Silverado is factory limited to 9000kgs (19836lbs) gross, down here. I hate to think what those single rear tyres are carrying, or how much that rear axle housing is bending - or what kind of pressure those 8 wheel studs each side, are under.
With this kind of abuse, often drivetrain problems don't show up until a few years has gone by, and the second owner is the one trying to figure out why the drivetrain components are failing early.
What happened to this big ol' plate that manufacturers used to screw to the firewall??

150 HP could move that load

But 600Hp will move it up a 6% grade at 70mph, which, as you know, is essential.

Then you can go down that grade at 70 as well even though the trailer brakes don't work
