Hitch Jeep to Pickup Truck for Towing
At 9:31 in
Willys Jeep rescue.... wedged in a barn for 30 years...let's try and lift it out!!
What happens here
Once the Jeep is safely outside the barn, it is positioned to be towed by the Dodge Ram pickup truck. The Jeep is equipped with a tow bar on its front, featuring a 2-inch ball receiver. The father and son team carefully hitch the tow bar to the back of the pickup truck. This method is chosen as the safest option due to the Jeep's lack of working brakes, preventing it from rolling into the towing vehicle or uncontrollably down a hill during transport. The presenter then gives a quick overview of the Jeep's condition, noting the significant amount of dust and debris accumulated over 30 years.
Goal: Securely attach the Jeep to the pickup truck for safe transportation.
