What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[DukeCanBuildit]

Drove the sedan to the city to swap it for the Ranger because I had some truck stuff to do. Headed to the drive-thru tile store…

Because…

On the way back to the lake, I drove through the first town before the cottage going a wee bit too fast. I looked down at the speedo as I passed this place…

I was doing precisely 88 miles an hour! There was a flash of light and the next thing I knew….

Climbed around deep in the bushes. The truck is loaded with stones and weights more at the moment. Last few weeks have been raining a lot, it was muddy. I got stuck! ?

Went out for lunch and pie, then a short run through Davy Crockett NF. Now I need to give it a bath!

The DCNF is one of the places I have been wanting to go. Is it open to street legal 4x4 ? or is more paved road only and atv off roads?

It's mostly dirt roads that any street legal vehicle can tackle.
That being said, with how hot and dry it's been, they're some deep sand on the roads that's really loose.

Took the Ranger on a 5500 KM road trip from Vancouver (hit up Disneyland, San Diego, Vegas and Reno)

Took a pic at the Hoover Dam. (Wife parked it… lol)

And a fine job at that!

Ran over to Lowes to get stuff to finish some driveway repairs and also to reglaze the garage window.

Then got gas and tried out the nifty 2.5 gallon fuel can that @Grumpaw suggested. It fits perfectly in front of the wheel well and easily straps in with a Velcro strap through the tie down.

Soon they'll be no room for dump run loads! =p

most important thing are the smoked sausages for me and Cheech! =)

well pedigreed dampered tailgate

well mannered Ranger owners put their carts in the cart corral (plus it gives us an excuse to gaze upon our awesome trucks and stick our nose up at nearby Tundras ...)

yikes! =(

luvin' this lil gas can! thanks @Grumpaw! =)

Jut some truck stuff. Ranger got a nice compliment from a Chevy Colorado owner at the tire store. He was basically happy with his truck but wishes it had a garage door opener button. Some times it's the small things.

Ironically those rear tractor tires didn't come from tractor supply. I stopped there for some hydraulic and gear oil. Front tractor tires are on back order.

I had to drive into town to drop something from work off at UPS. on the way out of the parking lot I saw a rusty heavily lifted and heavily squatted (this isn’t the weird part) early 2000s gm 2500 or 3500 with a 4 or 5 foot light bar drilled directly into and across the middle of the hood. I don’t think it does much Since the nose of the truck points to the sky. The things people do make me laugh.

Went to Lowe’s to get my lumber for my simple sleeping platform for bed of truck. Dinked around 20 minutes couldn’t get any help even after asking for it. Went to Home Depot found what I needed, got help, got it cut to fit in the topper and was out of there in 15 minutes. I guess Home Depot gets my business until they piss me off ?????

Home Depot here is usually cheaper than Slowes and has the items stocked better.

Another plus is I get to drive the Ranger an extra 1/2 mile each way.

Drove over Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park.

Somebody in a Maverick parked next to me at one of the overlooks.

Wow, almost no snow left. Great views from there (well, everywhere in GNP) and that green is really nice... with a matching topper.

I'm guessing by the mud on both trucks that they still haven't finished the road repairs down by Lake McDonald ?

Thanks! It's the special Jungle Splash Edition color. First car I've owned that I actually like the color of, rather than just tolerating it.

Yep. Still about 8 miles of dirt road along the lake.
