Wire rope gripper?

[CurSedVoyce]

Exactly. Much like climbing, driving, or anything else, you always have to be looking and thinking ahead, always thinking what can possibly go wrong.

And now Gary will be seen with at least three cables attached, six rope, twenty biners, 12 pulleys, an inflatable vest before venturing near water in the thing. Thanks Kyle . .

10,000 # straps, several clevis....hooks

And I have already considered where to mount the scuba tank inside the cab...JIC....

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I almost asked.

 

[pantheraba]

After seeing this video, maybe I am not crazy....

When your career REALLY hits bottom.

 

[Burnham]

wtf?

 

[pantheraba]

I said that, too...thought it was a joke. But it seems to be a real thing...who'd a thunk???

I bet you he never gets air in the hydraulic system

But the corrosion is fearsome.

But the corrosion is fearsome.

only once the machine is pulled up, then I give it 3 days before you can stick your hand through any of the body panels, I only know about rust, none of the other stuff, but rust cant form without oxygen

Plenty of oxygen in water.
Otherwise all the wrecked ships in all the oceans would be intact.

H2o 1/3 is oxygen

sorry about that, havent had my coffee yet lol

 

[stig]

No worries, it made for a fine derail.
We love those.

H2o 1/3 is oxygen

Yes, but this one doesn't intervenes as oxygen in the rusting but as hydroxyde ion. Actually it's the first step to iron rust. Then, it needs gazeous oxygen to the next step and to complete the process. There's enough oxygen dissolved in the water to supply a ginormous amout of life, so the iron/steel has no problem to find it.
The salt water makes the things worse (as you all know on the salty roads) by faciliting the electrochemical reaction.
Contact with the dirt isn't an easy place either to keep your steel unharmed. The worse is just in between wet dirt and air.
