Picked it up yesterday right before we made a 400 mile drive down to Anchorage! What a fantastic road-trip!! The stock FX4 suspension is not nearly as bad as I was expecting, and is honestly pretty great for our frost heavey, pot holey roads. It definitely has the most power of any vehicle I’ve driven, and I very much enjoyed the seat of the pants feel of the acceleration. Tranny shifts smooth but firm, hopefully stays that way. I’ll post more once I get back home

Here it is all tucked away in its new home! We just closed on a house on Thursday that has an amazing detached two car shop that it’ll live in.

Added some ‘Murca flair, and removed the stupid dealer sticker. I’m gonna try to figure out how to get the dealer logo off the mud flaps.

Hunter, if you do the winch/bumper, reach out and we can discuss all the mistakes I've made.
(Successes also)
What happened to the Smartcap plan? I've got one coming on the 7th.

Hunter - new house! new truck! So happy for you brother. Living the good life. Please do me a favor and post more pictures of your home buried in snow in a few months so I no longer want to move to Alaska. Your photos are so green and lush I'm admittedly a bit jealous! Enjoy it all in best of health my friend.

My budget happened to the smart cap plan :crackup: Maybe sometime later down the road, but for now the rack will have to do!

Just bought a 275 gal fuel oil tote for hauling fuel this fall. I’ll only be able to fill it up 220 gallons tho, cause I don’t want to go too far over the rangers payload

(Edit: You could call this an instant leveling kit, just add water!)

I get it. I've been doing a ton of overtime to try and offset the money.
