    That's pretty funny. I'm guessing the last pic is doctored.

    There is a white car (van) in the first two pics, but I was having a hard time getting all the pics to load, so I cut a few out.

    It's a sarcastic comment Bruce, as in "Well, just make'em bigger, ya that'll do the job."

    Sarcasm??? A completely foreign concept to me... I'll have to look it up... :D

    Being an engineer, my thoughts when I first saw it were along the lines of, "Someone did not take into account the weight of the water in the van."

    Never saw that it was a van on a flat bed, "suck up" truck...

    That's funny. They could've got it out with the crane I was just using. Three hundred ton Grove hydraulic. Did a lift of 102,000 lbs with 150 foot of boom out at a radius of 75 ft. Like it was nothing.... Gave me a hard on...:D

    And my reaction was: "I'm an electrical guy... let those mechanical guys worry about dumb stuff like that" :D

    I had a job like that with a bucket on the end which I was in, over extended the arm I lifted one side of truck. Scared the **** out of me, I QUICKLY returned the arm which return the truck up right. Later the truck never sat level as a front end spring was damaged, it was fixed (I never admitted what really happen) Other then a co-worker stated I could do it that way, I can state for sure it didn’t worked for me.


    BTW one should never try anything like that working on the side of truck, you should operate the truck from the back of truck. That way you would need to flip the whole truck front end over back, I don't think you could even do that ever.

    Been like 8 years or more so I think I'm safe.
