biggest thing you have pulled out

what is the biggest things you guys have pulled out with your trucks?
I just pulled out a tractor trailor with full fuel tanker from a muddy field near my house (hewasn't sunk to the axels but he wasn't going anywhere either.
hooked up a cable and rocking together I got him out 20" deep trenches in the field now! not to mention the mudd all over the place from me spinning!
watched him try alone for about ten minutes and then had him out in 3 he offered me a beer but I don't drink! Just felt good to help him out!

I know I'm going to probably get flamed for doing this but.....

A few years ago my dad 95 F-250's transmission took a crap (After 70k miles) while pulling our 29 ft travel trailer up Sardine canyon (not sure what the grade is). He got it pulled off the side of the road, but because his transmission was broke he couldn't shift out of Drive, but drive actually acted like neutral.
Well we had to un-hook the trailer so I could tow the truck home, but to do that we had to get the trailer to level ground. So I hooked the tow strap up to the 4runner and put it in 4lo and pulled the truck and trailer for about a mile until we reached the crest...

I was amazed that my transmission and transfer case didn't blow up! It truly was AWESOME!

Love my TOYOTA!

From what I saw it looked like he was stopped and just gunned the thing and. It rained every 32 hours statisticly this past summer in Canton so if you wern't careful you could get stuck just about anywhere. Still has not dried out, just frozen.

Pulled a caddy out of a 4 foot deep trench next to a driveway that they had taken a butt dive into. Didn't even mess up the lawn!

Used a dumptruck to yank a full size blazer off the top of a huge ass snowbank.

One of my buddies was plowing and decided to knock the top off the bank so he could pile more snow on there. The dumbass came at the bank doing like 30 mph with the plow raised as high as it would go. Needless to say he rode right to the top of that 10 ft bank......I couldn't stop laughing especially when he tried to get out to come get me for help.....he fell about 6ft out of his door. I wish I had a pic but I missed the opportunity. Anyway, we happened to have a full size dumptruck we were changing a tire on so we chained the axle of the blazer to the tow hitch on the truck. I put it in low,low and OMFG I almost ripped the axle off the truck.....that thing has crazy torque in low gear! We had some fun that day at the shop.

This is one of the biggest I've pulled out. 2DR Tahoe 4X4

He was laying frame in the front and his right rear was barely touching the ground. He better be glad i'm a good friend. By the way i'm the goofy looking mug on the left of the picture. (see my truck in the background)

My biggest thing ive pulled out?

Well last night I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and she said come here baby. So I pulled out my...... oh wait I dont have a girlfriend! OOPS You meant rigs anyway. Oh ok that would be my buddy with his 4runner and my Nissan pulling out a Ranger that was a good fifty feet down an enbankment. Took three tow straps and busted mine near the end. I got towed out so MikeT has something to brag about here unless he has towed out some big honkin Ford or something thats bigger. I got stuck in a snow bank while in a pissing contest to see who could do the fastest brotys and launch into the snow banks. It was fun! Blue

well, some friends of mine and I pulled out one of those huge skidders (the things w/ 5ft tall tires that turn in the middle and pull trees around). Of course this was not w/ my 4Runner, it was w/ a huge bulldozer. What originally happend was my friend w/ a wrangler got stuck in this bad news mud and a construction worker brought over the skiddder to get him out, then he got stuck, so we got a bulldozer and got them all out. I will post some pics later when i get my computer hooked up again. Probably the biggest thing i have pulled out would either be a wrangler(many times) or a ranger.

I pulled out a toyota landcruizer with my landcruizer. He was basically stuck in a snow bank(we were 4 wheelin that day). I had to yank him out with a stretchy tow rope i made. I left about 30 feet of slack and slingshotted him out. If you guys have never tried that when your on sheer ice. It works very well and is a smoooth ride.
