We are awesome!!! lol

Rick needs a bigger truck to pack his balls around in!!!
I've never been in a truck that rolled before.......
and hope to never see that much water pour out of an intake again.

Those F-150 guys, and the 1500 chevy guys......... still don't believe they got saved by the "rescue ranger" crew

Frank

Well guys, for those that didn't go this round, it has been the best run yet!! It'll be hard to top this run, got pics of 37" IROKS 37" off the ground in a 4 FT mudhole, some awesome vertical shots, too. We got plenty of pics this round, hopefully ya'll can make the next one!! Yeah, I made Frank squirm like a baby!! All in good fun!!

Squirm....... whew.

We had some serious serious good action shots (ie.... the watering hole, ie...... Johns climb up the rock quarry)
that we didn't get shots of because, WE WERE HAVING TOO MUCH FUN!!!!
i wish i could go back in time and have snapped one of Rick firing through the lake too!!!!!

Frank, do you mean when I turned my truck into a speedboat and made 30 ft rooster tails and 10 ft tidal waves?? Then met a tree on the other side and instant stopness!! Guess what, its a ranger, and mine laughed at the tree, no damage, my truck even gave the tree a tattoo!!
John, when I shorted the battery, that pic is not the one, my front end was 3 times higher than that pic, did we get a shot of that one??, I really would have liked to get shots of the guys that were stuck in the mud, and how I just casually drove up to them, seen how stuck they were, then turned around and backed up to them and we pulled them out. Of course, once was not enough, we had to do it twice!! I tell ya, we are gonna have to hire a camera man from now on, 7 hours of trail riding and only twenty something pics...Come on members, this is way too much fun to pass up!!

[railman]

believe me there are more pics....just more of the same places is all ( didn't think worth posting a shot of ya moving 10-20 feet, lol )

yeah, sorta hard to take shots from inside the cab bouncing around, and we cover more ground than with me stoppin to take pics at every obsticle

like we said before, had way too much fun to worry bout the shots we didn't get.... but we do have the memories

hope more people can make the next one

I am definantly looking into finding a beater.......

Maybe I'll be underground withing a few weeks and blow my first few paychecks on a 4x4, that isn't in perfect shape.

I'm thinking about meeting in the middle of ricks "beast" and Johns truck.

so lets keep our fingers crossed I get hired.

Frank

 

[railman]

yeah Frank, i sure hope ya get "underground".... good money in the mines

and when ya go lookin for a "beater" 4x4, make sure ya get a 93-97 with the 4.0.... got the better axles right out of the box

l8r, John

 

[RangerSVT]

Frank, 91+ explorer sports and remove the rear, or 95+ ranger. if you got the $$, ranger ( trans selection ), or exp to start then upgrade trans...

[Frank The Tank]

If it means hanging with you in a mud pit....... then I can come up with the money. I figure a short bed/reg cab 4x4 would be nice, (and despite the fact I know it's insane... i kind of really want a manual)
96Ranger 4.0ish.

I pity the folks that didn't come out to the meet!!!!!
