I wonder if he stabbed the gas if the front would lift?

It's cool that the thing fit in there, but I think it is overall a foolish thing to do.  Just my opinion.

It always amazes me what some people do with/to their trucks. I didn't have my camera but I am sure you can visualize what I saw yesterday. Late model Ford dually, bumper pulling a 25 to 28 foot trailer with a 16 foot (est.) fiberglass boat on top of the truck on a boat trailer. I could clearly see the boat trailer with no tires-hubs exposed. I have seen factory loaders that put a big boat on top of a truck with a winch/swing arm set up but that's not what he has. He had to use a crane to put the boat and trailer up there because there were no swing arms or cables to lower it off the front of the truck. He was taking corners very slowly and the truck was squatted pretty good.
Must have gotten a great buy on the boat while on vacation. Ha!!

I completely agree. This guy is a complete waste of air if he actually drove that on public streets. How hard is it to go pick up a trailer and move that 'Zuki the right way? Apparently too hard. Oh well, he will learn his lesson when he loses control on the interstate and rolls the thing.

Although, I guess its no worse than the guys with a yard or two of river rock in the bed of truck like that... Get the right equipment for the job, people. Argh.
