I was in a real hurry and needed to rotate the tires on my truck, so I decided to see if these FastGun tie-downs were as strong as advertised.Son of gun (pardon the pun) if I didn't levitate the entire truck using just the camper jacks!And to you safety police, once I did get truck off the ground, I did throw a set of jack stands under it.

My Ford manual says not to rotate my duallies. Why would that be?

I really hope this is a joke, for many reasons..

Lol.Yeah, right. Somebody has been having too much fun with Photoshop.

Boatycall, methinks that if BS were music you might be a brass band! ;)

I, applaud your photoshop skills.

Hovertruck - Rotating all 6 tires with camper jacks alone

Photoshop skills? What photoshop skills?? I don't know what that is...
:B:B

BTW - my new tagline will be:
Doesn't matter if you're a glass half full kinda person, or you see the world as a glass half empty.
Either way, just means there's more room for alcohol in the glass...

It is much worse than that. The truly stupid people tend to breed, and breed early and fast. Even if they eventually do a "hold my beer and watch this..." they probably already have spawned 5 or 6 rugrats.

On the other side, you have engineers who decide not to even have kids.

We are so screwed lol.

Have you seen the movie Idiocracy(2006)?

Ha! You took the words right outta my mouth. Love that movie.

If the pic is real, I want some of whatever the tie-down points on the camper had for breakfast!

I remember a post here a few months back where a guy complained about how crappy TC camper jacks were - he'd had multiple jack failures.
I think it turned out he was doing the OP's "hovertruck" every time he leveled the camper.

Can't do it with a gm product because the tailgate is too narrow to load the camper. ;)

Can't do that on a Ford until you remove the cab. can't remove the cab while the camper is on. :B :B :B

It's all fun and games until a fly lands on the hood and the truck stands on its nose.

You guys should leave his photography skills alone.
