man all that tug of war is crap it comes down to who has traction and man that is so hard on stuff dont do it

Exactly proves NOTHING! I'd pull my brake light fuse hook up stand on the brake let him get spinning then mash the go peddle and drag him all over the place. Proves nothing he who gets traction wins isn't about power

Drag race him

Comes down to weight and the angle of the hook... if it's not level, the guy who's hooked higher will win...

And yea, it tears stuff up. Challenge him to a drag race and destroy him :thumb:

Show up like your avatar pic with the weights on the front and a tall ass hitch and tell him to put up or shut up

he wants to drag race too but he even said he knows i will destroy him. i know it proves nothing but he wont hook it to a sled he only wants to do the tug of war. just figured i would see what you guys thought.

I dont get it. All of the Ford kids run their mouth about hooking chains, but will never hook to the sled...:gay:

I know i tried that but like a typical powerstroke owner he doesn't want to hook it to the sled, and he knows ill beat him in a race. the only thing he wants to do is hook them together witch i don't really want to do, but as much trash as he was talking i kinda want to do it. my buddy says his reg cab 7.3 weighs over 7,000lbs but hes not sure exactly how much anybody know how much they weigh?

It's all about traction and hooking point.

If you're doing it on tar .... I wouldn't, unless you have some upgraded front end steering pieces and you and your Powerstoke counterpart enjoy paying for broken stuff. Even then I still wouldn't do it.

If you must, throw a bunch of weight in the bed and hang a bunch off the front like in your avatar. :rofl:
