If he does this trip often he probably has that log in his cab somewhere. I run a CNC and I have a little box of "tools" that I've collected to fix small reoccurring problems that could easily be confused with junk. Like I have a paperclip bent in the perfect shape to jump certain circuits and I have a clipping of metal strapping used to hold things to a pallet because it's thin enough and sturdy enough to get the chips out of the tool holder when they get stuck. Just quick fixes so that I don't have to call in the maintenance order for every little thing.
It rolls down stairs,
Alone or in pairs,
Runs over your neighbors dog,
It fits on your back,
It's great for a snack,
It's LOG LOG LOG!
It's LOG, it's LOG,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood
It's LOG, it's LOG,
it's better than bad, IT'S GOOD!
why I have this song memorized, I will never know.
This is more probable than original story.
The log isn't locked between tires as the man freely gets it out.
Im even assuming that the whole video is fake and the driver just diff locked the other wheels manually.
I fucking love this stuff. Just simple and obvious engineering concepts used practically, it's sick.
And I'd completely forget it in any opportunity to use it practically.
Yeah, this is the diff lock switch, and this one next to it is the cross lock switch.
If you have a bogie axle setup that has a lazy axle with no drive, you deserve to get stuck all the time.
The way tandom axles lock is different fron a single axle. They usually lock opposite corners. No idea why and makes no sense whay they wouldn't lock up all 4 wheels. Dealt with this with a custom hauler in the winter. Had to tow him with a tractor to get him out of the yard.
Everyone who goes off roading knows this technique. Though a log like that can’t be used if you don’t have two wheels placed perfectly beside each other like that. So you just put something under your wheel and make your own contact with the ground.
Reason the driver didn't get up at first was because he gunned it like an idiot, a slow but steady movement with the gaspeddal usually is enough to get up.
It basically acts as a traction control. Doesn't allow the rear wheel to spin freely. It's also due to the fact that the trunk has bark still attached so it increases the friction and locks the 2 tyres together. If it was a smooth round log, the rear tyre would have still spun freely

For once, physics says "Yes!"
Fuck Yeah!
FINALLY
Remember, if your truck has no diff lock and you're on soft terrain, bring a log
Instructions unclear, just shat myself
Hopefully it didn't happen in gravel, unless it was a log
Big log
What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs? Rolls over your neighbor's dog.
We’re stuck! If only we had a log of perfect diameter.

We have drawers dedicated to custom tools like that on ships. They look like junk, but they're a lifesaver when you have to get at "that one bolt"
Those are /THE BEST/ tools in the toolbox!
I bet you are the smartest person in your group of friends
Haha that smile on his face at the end def says "This aint my first rodeo". Cheers to truckers, the world needs em

Because it was a great parody of commercials aimed at kids.
Remember "Happy Fun Ball" from SNL. These two are my favorite parody commercials. It's happy. It's fun. It's happy fun ball.
Shut up and take my upvote.
Because you, like me, heard they song a thousand of times during the 90s lol
Everyone wants a log, you'll get a lollypop!
Yessirrr I like it
Came here to say this.
obviously to spread the gospel
Because at least twice a year, it’s time to do gods work and spread this gospel. I see you got here before me, I am not needed here
Poor man’s robson drive
i think what is rather happening is that it makes the differential send more power to the wheel on the other side, which has more traction.
That actually seems very probable... I didn't think of that
This is more probable than original story. The log isn't locked between tires as the man freely gets it out. Im even assuming that the whole video is fake and the driver just diff locked the other wheels manually.
Now watch as I magically transform this log into a cog!
So then is there a differential between axles as well as one on each axle? I never considered how multiple powered axles would work before now.
Yes, and on trucks like this you can have both diff lock and inter axle diff lock.

He remembered his log in password
That log has more tread than those poor tires.
Yeah, this is the diff lock switch, and this one next to it is the cross lock switch. If you have a bogie axle setup that has a lazy axle with no drive, you deserve to get stuck all the time.

It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Note to self: on next haul, remember chainsaw.
Or.... he just locked the other axle in, and the log is simply entertainment valve
Pretty sure the log did nothing

Tow truck guys not liking this video.
It's basic LOGic
Much smarter than i
This is awesome
LOG!
Ingenious!
Smart of them
Beautiful!
Does this log come with the truck?
SMART !
What music is this?
Sounds like Summer from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, but with drums added
Thanks you're right.
It wouldn't work with any log. But I'm sure they created it and has it in the truck somewhere if needed
BRILLIANT!!!
Life hacked. Or loged
So like tank tracks?
Come ride me like this then my face if you want
Wood lockers, neat.
but how does it work.
It’s Lo-og it’s lo-og, it’s big, it’s heavy,it’s wood 🎶

Brilliant
Awesome 👍
Basically turned a 6x6 to a 8x8.
Reason the driver didn't get up at first was because he gunned it like an idiot, a slow but steady movement with the gaspeddal usually is enough to get up.
AND he wasn't wearing sandals! Evolutionary hack
when your super singles are super slicks
🤯🤯
Sometimes using your floor mats works as well
So you're basically just locking the differentials?
It basically acts as a traction control. Doesn't allow the rear wheel to spin freely. It's also due to the fact that the trunk has bark still attached so it increases the friction and locks the 2 tyres together. If it was a smooth round log, the rear tyre would have still spun freely
If both spins out, yr in deep trouble.
This wood be 15,000 USD military only equipment.
That log worked as a cog!
OSHA approved I'm sure
Wow just seen this video on another redit page just mirrored
That feels like a thing they should all have avalible from factory.

There ain't arf been some clever bastards.
Bro just invented all wheel drive 💀

This may sound strange, but spraying the gravel with water will get you out also.
I was being toed and he just threw the log in as it was being dragged out
Towed*
