    I slid down that big hill 3 times one night in a snow storm. I finally gave up and slept at the bottom. That was fun!

    Looks good man. I have yet to haul a coil but think I'm going to get me one next week along with some plate and beams that are going near the house. Hopefully I can get in good with an agent and get some dedicated stuff setup.

    Thanks. I like suicide coils. Theyre easy. Chain, tarp, n go. Had 2 chains on the baby in the middle as it only weighed 8485 pounds. Its big brothers had 4 chains each. They weighed in at 18820 each. More than was required, but I was sure they werent going anywhere.
     
    Weeble Kneeble Thanks this.

    yeah Les that hill would get nasty in the winter time and that narrow bridge to get over there sucks too.

    Exactly. Each chain is rated at 4700 pounds a piece. Had enough to secure basically the entire weight. Ive hauled many of these things. I actually like coils.
