My name is Clay. I'm from a small farming community located 20 miles North East of Bonham, roughly two and a half to three miles from the Red River depending on which gravel road you drive down. This makes the fourth Ford Ranger I've had since I turned 16. I'll post pictures of my truck as soon as I figure out how to.

Welcome. I actually know where Bonham is, been through it many times on my way from DFW to Paris for work. As we tell every new guy, watch your wallet, you'll find more things you never knew you needed on here.

Welcome Clay. Attach pictures by hitting the "picture" icon at the top of your post or the "attach Files" bar at the bottom of your post. Sometimes from a phone it is tricky so I use a computer.

Big Blue, I just noticed that you said that you drive from DFW to Paris for work. It's funny you mention that, because I drive from Elwood to Sherman to work at Tyson Foods. Hint the OTR in my username. There are weeks and months that I feel like I spend more time in the truck and on the road than I do at the house.

Before I retired I use to travel to the KC plant in Paris for project installs and plant trials. I worked out of the home engineering office in Wisconsin. Also traveled to plants in Ogden UT and Beech Island SC.

I remember those days. Though it was long ago and I was a young man. But yep, home time was minimal.

Stay safe out there. And keep the shiny side up.

10-4, Big Blue and Friday yet? Thank you guys for understanding. There are people at work that don't get the drive part of my day and my life for that matter. I can mention this to certain people and you would think I'm talking to them from another planet. Lol!

Welcome to the group, Clay!

For posting pictures - if you're on your phone you can tap this icon that sits atop the post window (that I, and likely you are typing in right now!)

If you're on a desktop or laptop computer you can actually just drag-and-drop photos directly into the text window, too.

Looking forward to seeing your rig!

Welcome the the best forum in the world! I've never seen anything stump anyone here. There are some truly remarkable folks here (but, not me). =D

Also lots of info on any mods you're thinking of. This forum has helped me add gobs of stuff to my Ranger (my sig lists all the crap goodies I've gotten).

And I'm pretty sure all my Amazon buys got Jeff his fancy new mega yacht! =D
