I have seen a couple episodes, what a hoot. They kind of short him on time it seems like to me. I wish they would fund pulling that one old Cat off the bottom of the lake that he has been wanting to do for years, now that would be a show.

Ya that would be a job Lavoy I have helped pull a D8H from the depths of a lake and it isn't an easy task at all But I would love to do it again .Not just any one can haul a load across a frozen lake with a truck but even fewer have done it with a crawler and lived to tell about it He dose well reality TV or not what he dose is not for every one but it is reality I have done ice crossings with a truck only a short distance and a tough old dump truck at that but I wouldn't be caught taking a crawler across the ice even after a good deep ice road is established That is as close to the edge of reality as I want to get.Digitup.

The one I like the best on his site is fishing for a D6 or whatever it was with a hook, and snagging a pad and lifting it out of the water.

I watched the ice road truckers episode last night and I was excited to see KoO. I follow his site everyday and that site was my motivation to learn how to weld.

When they set out with the cat train to recover that generator, i thought they would be going in to haul out a big cat power unit or something like that. I lol'd when they got there and they picked up a little throw-away POS that 2 guys could lift.

I have a D4 here that I was going to fix up but I am waiting for the king to come and pick it up with the screaming ford and the wicked winch, lol
