Never use a snatch strap to pull out roots.
Used a snatch strap to assist in pulling out roots because my chain was in storage. So, the large root gave way and hit the Cruiser at an unbelievable speed. Here’s what it looked like.
The cruiser saved my life again. That was a dumb thing to do. So, it wouldn’t open. I can fix that.
Cut out a hole so I could access the release mechanism that had come undone during the hit.
Luckily I’m good at body work, good as new. Better probably
And, perfect color match because I now have my own special paint code. Close to 1A5, subtle differences.
Lesson learned. Carry a chain. Don’t put stuff in storage unit. Logs eventually break off. Welding takes time. Perfection takes time. When you have drawers in the back, you can’t access the innards of the tailgate
