Yes Duke, I have some angle metal and also some long lengths of leftover 1 inch metal conduit, I didn't see any flex to speak of in the camera while pushing the wet stuff at the end of the drive but I was busy watching what I was doing. It worked fantastic! I need to run errands and then I will upload video to YouTube and link it. I will have to use the snow blower first for the drifting to my right as I back out, I can't get the angle on the truck and blade. If I push from the other direction I will bury my trash cans. I had only a fee minutes of cleanup with snow blower and shovel compared to over and hour of standing out in that wind chill next time.
Very cool - looking forward to the video. Great for those times when it’s truly needed. Big time-saver. ??

Drove it 5 miles of dirt road to the deer lease

I really miss Texas and I used to drag a 26 foot trailer to our lease once a year to load it up with dead mesquite for my 450 pound smoker.

Edit: A 16 foot trailer, 26 would be impressive!

I love my mother to death, but unlike my father and I, couldn't wrap her mind around riding a motorcycle. So.... She bought a Can-Am Ryker.

Well, with 182 miles on it, it went BACK to the dealership for a VSS Fault and the ranger towed it down

Side note, for anyone looking at a Ryker, I would advise against it. The VSS Fault is a common issue, and you can have 10 units in for a VSS Fault, and all 10 would take a different fix. It's pretty sad when you roll in, say you're dropping off a Ryker for a VSS issue, and the service guy looks like he is about to cry

My Ranger joined another exclusive ranger5g.com club today and made its first dump run. Not a lot but it was "household chemicals" day and I had a bunch of old paint that needed to go.

Then I made a donation run!

Then on my way home got some organizing bins, organizing stuff for my new Christmas craftsman toolbox. Some new 6' x 16" shelves for the garage.

Can you tell I've been cleaning the garage? ☺

You need to get together with Soupie...I'm sure he can give you some valuable tips on going to the dump, "dump etiquette", and other helpful hints on loading and unloading stuff from your Ranger.

This is so perfect! Open the garage, back to plow it to the street! I need one, well, if I was allowed to park in the garage.

Nicely done and the price is right.

Loaded her up in anger today. Twice. Bought some tile for re-doing the floors. Ended up to be 51 boxes of tile at 71 lb per box. Figured I’ve got a truck, and I’m gonna use it! Did the math, and found out I ordered 3,500 lb of tile. Oops.
So I made two trips! Here she is loaded to the gills! This is the heavier load. 26 boxes. A little bit overloaded. I figured about 1800 lb. I was looking over the side into the bed when the fork lift lowered the pallet, and it seems like it dropped about 10 inches, but that might be an exaggeration. I really didn’t take time to measure it.
Anyway, here she is, loaded for bear.

Oh, and I just rolled over 5,000 miles this week. I don’t get out much

Thanks for this post.
I don't plan on getting anywhere near that, but I am curious what kind of drive you had. Hills and curves? How'd it handle?
Thanks

Thanks ! And alot cheaper than.buying one. If I had a welder I wouldve made it from steel to save some weight but this one is light enough for me to carry and I can store It either in my minibarn or behind my garage tarped. Makes my chore a ton easier and alot warmer!

Wow! I've got serious envy for such phenomenal bed use in one day!

Well done and you lead the pack now! =D

It'll definitely work and be a huge back saver!
