    Default what do they make this s**t out of now??

    a friend of mine has a 01 ram 2500 and was stuck out in a field and called me to come pull him out..we hooked the chain up to my hitch and pulled and pulled.after a few minutes we noticed my hitch had been bent to a 45 degree angle!!well its already bent so dont stop now..pulled for a little bit longer.i had been able to drag him about 25 feet but it was getting to the point that i couldnt get traction and his axles were buried..so we hooked another silverado up to the front on mine using the tow hooks.first little tug..SNAP!!there goes my drivers side tow hook..what are they makin this stuff out of these days?anybody else havin these problems?
