I'll wait for the upcoming vids.
The A-frame is tilted slitghtly away from the truck and a chain attached to the truck is used as the third leg.

To me the scariest thing is actually the potential of the 4x4's to snap at the knots. There is so much downward force that I do not see any way it can slip out.
