The PIC whore club! Come on in!

Sure no problem. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product before I bolted it in but I used a piece of 2 in.² tubing cut at 4 inches long and then ripped it in half, used 1/2 on one side and 1/2 on the other. Welded the nuts on the inside of the box before I welded the box on to what was left of the front hoops (I have an FX4 so I had the skid plate mounting tabs that I had to cut off and use on the front). It’s bolted to the trailer hitch and the bolts come in from the top. Of course I had to paint them Magnetic.

Man that's an awesome DIY mod. Looks good.

Was at the dealer today and there was F-450 in the service lane. Perhaps the best license plate ever...

Someone else used to term "softroader" in another post and I've gotta admit, I'm a huge fan of softroaders.

Before the Ranger, I was looking for a 2019 Golf Alltrack SEL with a manual transmission which was very difficult to find but I still love em!

On the road across southern MN. The locomotive is a EMD DDA40X with a 6600 hp (4943 kW) power plants built from 1969 to 1971 exclusively for the Union Pacific and parked in Chamberlain.

My son has driven from Portland Oregon to Big Bend National Park, Texas in a 1987 Chevy Sprint that probably shouldn't have made it out of his driveway. The flames add only 5 hp. At last count he has driven over 3600 miles in the last month.

I believe he clocked 82 mph at Bonneville!

Much of the car is held together with zip ties and duct tape. It just keeps going.

He participates in Gambler 500 offroad events often. It is slowly decomposing but he says it isn't decomposing as fast as it was when he left home. Sort of a parabolic curve. He has had to replace a wheel bearing, cooling fan, several zip ties, and the radiator cap. One of the coil springs fell out but he jacked it up and got it back in.
Gamblers' motto is "ABG!" always be gamblin'!

Doe Mnt isn't a long hike but it's very rocky and a lot of climbing in some areas which was tough for my gf with her bad knee but she's a champ and made it to the top! Once at the top you can walk the whole shelf and the views on the backside of awesome.


Doe Mountain from the parking lot

Trail going up

But the views were worth it

Once at the top you walk around the whole edge

Hi Phil,

The trail wasn't to bad until you got to the last 20 minutes or so. My gf even surprised herself doing it with her bad knee and I'm lucky to still not have any issue just yet. Sedona is still a madhouse right now, it's bumper to bumper just trying to get into town that's why we stay in Cornville. It's only about 15 minutes away and we're at a resort right on the golf course for a fraction of the cost and no traffic to deal with.

We really wanted to do Devils Bridge but there's just way to many people over there. The parking lot was full and the cars were parked a good mile down Dry Creek Rd. Fay & Doe mountain have a lot of good hikes around them and then you have the Honanki Ruins not to far away.

Ok I will lol
