    It's even a steel bracket to boot, much easier to fix than an aluminum one. Unless it's cracked where it's welded on, you won't break it off. Get a hold of it and go to straightening. :D

    Man you type fast!! :D

    @shogun beat me to it. You won't get it perfect without a lot of work, but you can get it pretty close that way.

    Be careful with the pocket knife.

    Didn’t @OLDSKOOLERnWV have a picture on here doing something similar and couldn’t even drive his own truck?

    A stunt like that could get you fired at a mega.

    I only have snap binders... le sigh this is a PITA. I got the idea right but I can’t bring the bracket passed the vertical so it just bends back.

    Fawket. Grabbing a zip tie and getting it looking redneck pretty in the morning...

    I’ve yanked trailers here that have been worse when it comes to this. I just feel guilty since I’m the one that had it when the tire popped. So, yknow, trying to actually fix the #### thing.

    Oh well.

    Oldskool’s friend cut his finger working on a mudflap. I too got some stitches when a knife slipped. Not only did they not fire me, after I got through with the doctors visit, they asked me to run a 660 mile two stop run. They did throw in an extra $130 that day, took the sting out of it.

    If you're using a snap binder to get it to vertical, do you have room to add a second one to pull it past vertical?

    I carry 13... got 12 on this one.

    The one that I’m using is actually on my load stop..... I don’t consider this a life or death sort of thing so I don’t feel like yanking another off the beams for this shenanigans...

    I swear I may have actually moved it an inch or two :p

    Meh. I’ll zip tie in the morning. Once I’m empty I’ll screw around with it some more... :oops:

    I got a new video yesterday- she is doing fantastic on her recovery. She has about 2-3 weis more of likited activity and then can start to do short stairs and interact with other dogs. Still On track for September to get back to work. I will say I miss her tremendously- way more than I ever missed my ex wives .....

    How is the pipeline gig? Say hey to the guy in Colorado - I really did enjoy meeting him.
