Did those Taco bump stops really make that big of an improvement? =p

And it's pretty nifty to see that pallet sitting so well in there. =)

350 pounds just levels it without bumping. Should cast a 350 pound weight to replace the spare tire for a glass smooth ride. Got it unloaded, now to start cleanup. You need one to load Soupie faster for dump runs ?.

It's always good to have people to look up to - and you sir, are one of those for me!

That's a hell of a claw!

Opens to about 40 inches. One scoop will fill Soupie. Had to buy a bigger tractor for it though and that should arrive next month.

Well, my stepson got one of these! Now to tow him to his new work destination.
Of course the ranger was swaying at 55mph. Had to come home and completely redo and adjust wdh. Now i van do 65 easy peasey. Thise rv people are so bad. My stepson who has no clue would have just driven off with a bad setup.

  • Drove to the barn with Ranger
  • Did yearly maintenance for the combine harvester
  • Harvested some oats
  • Broke the harvester (clutch to variator belt popped out)
  • Drove to tool shed with Ranger
  • Picked up some tools
  • Drove to harvester with Ranger
  • Fixed the harvester (Who the f.. designed the thing. There's a 19mm nut inside a U-bar you need to loosen, with a gap of ~5mm and no tool fits there.)
  • Harvested some more oats
  • Drove to home with Ranger

Well, it took almost 3-1/2 years, but I hit a milestone recently:

I know that isn’t a lot compared to some on here, but up until this point I have loved every single mile. This truck has been fantastic, and while I have my eye on a Ranger Raptor at some point in the future, but I might just forego it because I love my 5G so much.

Might forego the Ranger Raptor he says…?… I love my 5g tremor, but I also love that Ranger Raptor (just a little over 15 months now till wife and I go shopping.)
They’re completely different vehicles in my mind… like having a truck and then getting a Porsche/ferrari/corvette/pick your hotrod… that looks like a truck…. Keep the 5G and get you a Ranger Raptor for the weekends…
Obviously do what you want to do that makes you happiest.. I just feel everyone would be happiest with a 5g tremor and a ranger raptor so I can’t miss a chance to hype them up both up…no bias here ?.?.?.

Sheeesh saved him from disaster, what’s the weight on that trailer? Does it have the back patio part that also doubles as a ramp to load fun machines??
Sorry for nerding out about the trailer?

It's a jayco 2022 flight slx 8. 5000lbs. It had 600 tongue weight. Just lowered the ball one slot and it towed great. Still needed a lot of tweeking but good enough to take it on a 3 hour tour. He's using it as a house, so move it once a year maybe.

Drove into GSMNP nearest the house for a few hours of fly fishing therapy. 58 degrees at 9 when I started fishing.
