So I was less than 10 miles away from home and the clutch went out on my dodge... Luckily my girlfriend's brother was on his way home and was able to come get the trailer and tow it home with his F250. I was able to limp my dodge home, barely....

Yep but I've figured out a plan. I'm getting a 76 F250 which has a LP D60 that I'm gonna swap out with the HP out of your truck then trade your truck to a buddy for a 94 dodge diesel and use that for a tow rig. Then I'll build the 60's up.

Ok so I'm for sure selling the mini. If anyone wants it I'll give you a killer deal on it. I threw it up on craigslist kinda high to see if I get any hits but I want it gone so I'm gonna make an actual effort and get it gone.

Going to look at an 88 ranger with 60s and 35s tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a pack of 3 rangers soon. At least till the mini sells.
