Some of you may be familiar with the "Outdoors with T.K. & Mike" series of comedy videos.
For those of you who aren't, T.K. and Mike are a couple of guys from Alabama who make stupid/funny movies about huntin' and fishin'. In one video they reveal their location as being on "Lake OhManIgottaPee" (say it out loud). The formula for their videos is to talk a big game and then bumble around in the woods.
Anyway, my little brother (who's not so little anymore) just picked up their elk hunting video. It's classic stupid/funny T.K. and Mike and in one scene, there's a mid-'60's W-series wrecker on screen for just a few seconds (one of the ones with the four headlights).
T.K. and Mike had put a porcupine in their guide's Suburban as a joke and the Dodge was brought out to recover the wasted Cheby -- or what was left of it -- after the guide drove it off the side of a mountain.
In the credits, T.K. and Mike thank "Ron with R & L Towing." In the video, they keep saying they're in New Mexico, and it looks like they may have really shot it there (the guides are "Bucks and Zeus" and they list a phone number for them -- I didn't write it down, though).
Anybody know the truck or Ron? Using infousa.com, I found an R & L Service Center in Silver City, NM. Maybe that's it.
Well, it was cool to see the truck in the video and the front diff is clearly visible in the shot.
Look out for porcupines in the cab,
