    I am somewhat familiar with the dam thing.. lol. but I have not seen this particular technique.

    I do appreciate the information, it's valuable.

    I can totally see opening the drivers door, ive even done that, but we arent talking about just opening the door here. Physically removing yourself from the cab and backing in without any control other than steering is straight up retarded

    @Gearjammer79 I was talking more about your knowledge of the driving techniques used during the building of the Hoover Dam. Thought maybe you were around to try some of them first hand o_O

    Nope. Just like to learn new things when possible. My nickname is googlestein. Your talking to a dummy that dropped out of 12th grade to party and smoke weed. Than at 21 I received a GED. Now I drive truck. I'm rambling.
