Wow Toby, you must have iron b***s!  I've got an F 250, 4x4 that I use
to move a yard tractor.  I use a cool set of aluminium ramps to load
and I gotta tell you when I'm bout 3/4 of the way up I'm scared
whitless.  Can't even imagine doing it in an LBC.  If I'm that high up
in the air, in a machine, I want it to have rotor blades, a cyclic
stick and collective pitch so I can get outta there when things begin
to go south.  Got any pics of your exploits?
