Great ingenuity. Thanks for posting it Mike. Many years ago when I was 17 our Christmas trees came from an overgrown area at my grandmothers. My grandmother insisted I take on very nice 20' tall blue spruce full size and we could "prune" it at home (we only had 8' ceilings). So with a 4' 10" grandmother as my only help I had to load and tie a 20' spruce onto our ford Fairmont (for those of you who are young, this translates to chick magnet :) ). After I felled it, I parked the ford Fairmont behind my grandmothers school bus/greenhouse, tied the trees base to the bus/greenhouse and ran the rope over the car. I reversed the car until the tree was on top of the car and tied it on. The looks I got going through Acton were awesome. I'm sure it looked ridiculous. I could hardly see out the windows.

The free tensioned cables make me cringe, throw a coat over it to keep the cable from taking your legs out when it breaks.
I am not sure how bad that would be in the paint of the roof of the one truck but it worked.
Rednecks & Dodge pickups , hard to beat . Where there's a will .Lol
He could at least put the floor mat under the rope to save the paint.
Good to see I'm not the only that don't care much about how my truck looks like....
Btw, that calf looks yummy!
Your suppose to abuse your truck, that's what they are built for....I have never sold a used truck...straight to the scrap yard once I'm done with them. Mind you I have never spent more than $5K for one in the first place.
A little rope burn on the top is just another memory of good times out with the guys. :)
Worked like a charm. Perfect.
They could have used the same way by tying the buckle to the tie downs at the front of the box and not run a rope across the paint job on nice looking truck. Just saying. LOL
I have pulled a moose into the box of a truck with my ATV with the rope riding on top of it near the cab. The owner said go for it and did not care so I gave her gas....lol I cannot recall if there was any paint damage but it was a real easy way to get that bull into the back of the half ton!
Before ATVs and $400 winches this was standard practice. Still have a pair of 250' ropes in the barn that always went north with us.
