What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[DukeCanBuildit]

When I push "play" it brings up a new "play" button then it works.

I get the new play button, then nothing (it doesn’t play).

I sent Mark a message to see if he would let me put it on you tube.

It looks like you might need a google account to see it. I can download it.

Get any pinstripes? Truck did its job.

Thank you Steve. sadly yes a lot of trail rash. every time i here the limbs on paint i cringe. but on that trail i had to pick between paint damage or a rock hurting something underneath. paint lost.

Thank you Dave, you beat Steve to it lol. Idk why it would work for one and not all.

I really should have snapped off some of those branches. I had some urgency pushing me though. That trail is in the arbuckle mountains and they got a very light dust of snow and sleet while i was out alone. when it started hitting the windshield i thought oh snap if it full on snows or rains im gonna be stuck in here lol. so i tried to go as quick as i could safely.

Looked like a fun road. A light rain would not have been a problem. Sleet could be an issue for sure. I'm looking at tossing a Bahco folding saw in truck just for times like that. Sometimes the sense of urgency is more of an issue than real world issues. I have been in ranches late into shift and felt I needed to get out to roads and has that caused me to drive longer and through stuff I probably wouldn't have at the start of shift. But that was with a work truck also.

@9zero1790
Here is an example of urgency that didn't need to be that caused complications:
We responded to a ranch at night. In the middle of the ranch was a barbed wire fence. One side of the fence the ranch road was totally driveable. The other side however was extremely washed out but still showed on maps. Calls went out to avoid the washed out side. We all got to where we needed to be with no issues since we drove the good side. We took care of business and were about to leave.

Then we saw headlights coming in fast. We were thinking it was a pissed off rancher. We watched the headlights point to the sky then all of the sudden to the ground and disappear. That happened a few times. Then it stopped and the engine revved a time or two and stopped. We all thought "well pissed off rancher will be really pissed now" lol. Then we hear on our radios that a certain newer employee was now running to us on foot. We confirmed it was his vehicle we saw. My day just went to shit lol.

That employee ran the entire way from where he couldn't drive anymore to save the day for nothing. His truck was stuck at least 300 yards from us. We then had to find and retrieve his F150. Of course he didn't take two seconds to GPS where it was. Some how he was able to drive an extremely washed out road in the dark, until he wasn't. The washouts were from 5 to 10 feet deep and 1 to 15 or so feet wide. He basically just put it in 4x4 and floored it. It was a pain to get it out but somehow it wasn't damaged. I had a lot of explaining to do later due to his sense of urgency that was just tunnel vision.
