    Now you're taking me seriously. Let me be clear. Do not go to the airport and attempt to put that fuel into your car or your truck. I'm just remembering my days as a youth with a mustang GT 5.0 with some driveway modifications from 1989.

  9. What are you guys towing?

    Rented through Outdoorsy which connected me to a family who own it. The service puts people together so no corporate requirements. My specs show my vehicle can tow 7500 pounds so no concerns. The towing was super easy compared to my old camper. That one was wiggly even WITH a proper weight...

  12. Got blood on my Ranger

    Yes I got that buck in my backyard. Prior to that, I drove 25 minutes to a friend's farm, hiked in half mile in the darkness, shot him around 10:30, and then dragged him out of the woods for another half mile to toss him in the truck. Eventually we all made it to my backyard several hours later.

  19. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Today had some fun with the 2022 Ranger Lariat I received from the dealer a week ago. I ended up forced to disconnect the Morimoto XTR LP Reverse Light System because when connected to the reverse lamp wires, all the truck rear lighting - turns, brakes, reverse, are not working. Hmmm. Put my...
