[QUOTE="Cadillacmak, post: 20715, member: 11338"] Since this dent is shown in pictures here, I should tell the story. Otherwise everyone will wonder why we didn't pull it. First picture is no dent, second picture shows the dent. I used four ratchet straps and hooks in the ceiling to remove the cab from the frame once. My thought was, that I could release one strap at a time slowly and set it on the ground. That was a very stupid thought! When I pulled as hard as I could on the tail and released the strap, the cab became a battering ram as it smashed through me and some bins on the wall and hit the ground. That's not to bad of a dent for the fall, so me or the other three straps (which unhooked somehow in all the violence) absorbed enough energy. Since its not seen, and serves as a reminder to not be stupid, we left the dent.
