My Expo verses Tree

[BakerEdition]

Had a storm come through and lighting hit a part of this old hickory tree and split it...The Expedition was out matched....as the rear wheels come right off the ground...it was a fun ride though...

Looks like fun. You should have given it more gas and a longer running start.

I was afraid somthin was gonna give.....and I wasn't worried about the tree...LOL

 

[rburch]

LOL! Thats good stuff right there!

Maybe try pulling the other direction if you have room. May break it then as opposed to trying to peel it off. I dunno..lol

Looks like fun though..

4lo is your friend in something like that. just put it in 4lo. and FLOOR IT! nothin will break but the tree.

 

[BakerEdition]

Panda....If it were my house maybe..but we were visiting and I wanted to play a bit especailly since this truck will never see snow....maybe sand....

Looks like lots of fun. I love your expo!

The push bars on the front are my favorite part. If I could get those individually instead of having to buy a whole brush guard, I would.

And the tail lights are awesome too!

I agree with panda... thats what 4 low was made for...gives you that extra torque multiplication. Worse that would happen is you start digging holes in the driveway. I would not use running start though...more likely to break something including the strap. Was interesting to watch though..lol.

JUst an FYI, if peel the tree you might as well cut it down cause it will die within a year or two!

If you were back in Kendall, Raphael wouldve done it for $20 and removed the debris.

Yeah but Jose would have gave me 25.00 for the wood so he could have a fire to cook his black beans...LOL

Tom, this was the residence/building we are staying at, this was this past May and the they had the Country Music Run with about 125 hot rods come here for dinner which I catered after a fun day running laps at Nashville Super Speedway....Had the ol'expo right down in the garage and in pit row...they wouldn't let me run the truck because I was not there for safety inspections...but dam that would have been fun! but the point was here all those guys were coming here for dinner and my brother in law didn't want me to tear up the driveway....but the tree had to come down cuz it was blocking..I did peal it down further so no ladder needed for a chain saw...LOL

Oh, come on now. Expy's are capable of ripping stumps out of the ground. TRUST ME!!!!! With a little bit of digging, I pulled a 6 foot tall remnant of a tree trunk (14" or so in diameter) out of the ground. Took a few pulls, but I did it. Should have seen the neighbors as I came driving around the house with the trunk in tow.

Like others say, the truck will take it. The recovery strap will give long before the truck. Don't ask how I know.

 

[BakerEdition]

Thermo...had it been my house and my tree and a chainsaw no available I would have done a little more...but no sense in breakin it, if I have to pay to fix it....Im still trying to convince my wife that the little fender bender she had with the truck on the way here to Tennessee is requiring a whole new clip...then I can upgrade it to a Gen 2...GOD forgive me...LMAO...
