    What is the point of that. If u have one chain on front and one on back that thing is not going anywhere. Straps take care of the rest . U are doing way to much work .

    Hahaha... probably..
    I would imagine RGN work is a lot like boot. While your doing it you hate life. You cuss, you moan, you throw things, you get dirty. Then you are like, "that was pretty freaking cool"... lol
     
    Upinsmoke, LoneCowboy and PoleCrusher Thank this.

    That’s probably so he get it off. They haul them on rollbacks that way too. I didn’t like it either personally, but it’s the nature of the beast.

    As for the doors, he might be setting it down with the tail end against a wall.
     
    cke, Upinsmoke, misterG and 2 others Thank this.
