Should of had a Cummins...

[JFlagg]

Got this picture in an email today, truck brand doesn't really matter, just wanted to take a free jab at those who don't have a CTD though... Maybe if he had a Cummins he could have drove all the way down the hill, instead of getting stuck! Sorry about the pic being sideways, couldn't compress it or get it to fit any other way

I bet he is sh-tting in the drivers seat! :-laf :-laf ... Good pic!

He was dumb enough to drive down,probably thinks he can back out of it.

 

[DWeiler]

Looks like he lost control driving down the road or just driving to fast with a load, regardless of the big three "brand type" it could of happened to anyone dumb enough---i bet he's hoping those safety chains hold for a bit :-laf :-laf :-laf

That picture is at least 7 or 8 years old now. I thought EVERYONE had seen that one.

 

[rumblefish]

I always thought you were supposed to back down the boat ramp.....

Hwy 178 in the Kern River Canyon just east of Bakersfield, Ca. Dunno if it's 7 or 8 years old but it at least 3. Twisty canyon road with some down hill grade before you hit that section. Probably too fast with over heated brakes. They lose a couple a year over the edge into the river.

He is really trying to get it into reverse to back it out and go on to the lake!

Looks like a Chevy. None the less a Cummins wouldn't have helped.

 

[MRosinski]

A cummins with a exhaust brake and some brains would have :-laf

 

[sonorakitch]

I think the weight of the Cummins would have done him in.

I know that picture... It's on Highway 38 Pm 16. 4. It's south of Camp Angels, Ca (Near Big Bear City). The guy was pulling over to let traffic by, skidded on some gravel and over the side he went... Always check your Boat Trailer Brakes. His were way out of adjustment. Probably needed to check his shorts too! :-laf

 

[CPittman]

If he skidded on gravel, a jake wouldn't have been much help. Even a perfectly set trailer brake controller might not help. Once you hit the ball bearing gravel you're s. o. l unless you're already barely moving. Too much speed when you hit gravel on a down-grade and its like you're on ice. I don't know if even manually manipulating the trailer brakes would help.



The guy's just lucky he didn't go over and then have that boat come punching through the back window. That would eff-up your whole day.
