I do that too sometimes. Its fun go back and see how far you've come, what you've learned, how your wheeling has progressed, etc.

i do that too, damn going back to the ranger build thread is funny...i was a newb

not mine.... She calls it careless. "Anyone can go rock crawling and beat the shit out of something. Its takes skill to crawl rocks and keep the body clean"

If you ever took her to do some REAL wheelin, she'd realize it takes skill just to make it through an obstacle. To hell with the body.

Joking aside, there's a couple trails I take that I know exactly what part of my body is going to drag, its impossible to make it through otherwise.

did you guys see the picture with the tree??? I know what your saying about being careful and all, the damn thing doesn't "fit" where i want to go! (That's what i tell the girls in the club too). I know when i am going to do it, its not like its a surprise or anything. That was the main reason for buying the explorer. I got tired of the dents.... The bed is doneskies anyway, but i want to try and keep the cab away from God's Creations. Then i put 3 more in it on sunday

BTW, John, it will be at TB in about 2 months.... Along with its larger, roomier, brothern

Little update

Yesterday there was a little present in a little brown box out front...

Then today, I took the truck to a shop to figure out why i had no power and why i kept hearing it backfire... Turns out the intake tube had a hole in it, and the EGR valve was leaking. Got it fixed, replaced the intake tube, and bought some new wires and belt and stuff to do a tune up. I'll take care of that and install the locker tomorrow.

Then on my way home, i seen D's little brother....

His bed doesnt look no better then yours. lol

You should have let your truck sit there awhile for the other driver to come out and see what his expression would have been when he seen both trucks together.

i have met him before, but never got both of them together. And his truck used to be pristine. I assume he decided to take it "mudding" which in southern california it rains about twice every six months, and somehow destroyed his bed, cab, front and rear bumper, and god knows what else

Where did you get your doubler kit at? I cannot find a vendor link on pirate for it, did you get it second hand or is he still making these?

He is still making them. I don't have his number anymore, but if you search for DD Machine on pirate, his number will pop up. If you search on this site for RBV Doubler, it will bring up a closed thread about Ballistic possibly building one. The very last post is Whalstrom1 posting up Duffy's number.

Just be ready to call 900 million times. Kage has his number too.

Apparently I got lucky as when I ordered mine (nearly a year ago) he answered on the first call, and the doubler showed up in less than two weeks. Looking at others comments about him, be prepared to make a few phone calls and don't get in a hurry to get the product. It is a good product that he appears to stand behind, he just doesn't seem to move that fast sometimes

I've been extremely happy with mine FWIW, it makes wheeling with a manual 'fun' again

^ Speaks the truth If he's happy with it (even after getting the run around by Duffy), that says volumes
