I put the Ranger to work with a short trip to the local Home Depot. Used some spare 2x4s to keep the paneling straight while I hauled it home. Ratchet strap holding it all in for the 3-mile trip back home.

Similar thing happened to me yesterday. Planning four days at the beach with the family (2 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs). In the past we've taken 2 cars. SUV for dogs and luggage. My truck for beach stuff (chairs, pop up tent, toys, etc. and any other overflow (also the child).

Anyway, cleaned the truck all up inside and out, finished a few mods (listed somewhere on here) so it would look good cruising around the beach for a few days. Finally an opportunity for some pictures not taken in my driveway ?.

Have the beach stuff all loaded up in my truck along with some extra goodies. Ready to go, and my wife drops it on me that she want to avoid driving 2 cars and we'll make her car work. ?

Needless to say we made her car work, but man was/am I bummed. There is literally nothing wrong with her car, I just like mine better lol.

Next time the dogs get boarded?

I'm continuing to live the dream with a mini-dump run! =D

I used the new 24" soft loops on the short side of the self-retracting straps to make it easier to ratchet. It really didn't need it but it was a bit less of a reach for me.

And the the stars must be aligned with the temperature being the same as my birthday year (I was an only child growing up in the country in Canada, it doesn't take much to entertain me). =)

Dump run at 62 degrees - life's awesome! Have a nice weekend everyone!

Seems like you make either a "mini" dump run or a regular dump run almosr every day.
I know NH is small, but there MUST be other places to go !!! :crackup:
