It isn’t a Ranger in any way, shape or form. But it’s gonna end up being the mountain my Ranger supports, so it doesn’t get destroyed anymore, once I get it out of the mountains…

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
Myself and lil bob Picked up my new ranger drift project.....


It's the ugliest ranger I have ever owned...




Pretty sure It hates tires...



Again ... ⚠. This ranger is very homily....

You have been warned. If you die from looking at this poor thing or me......it is your fault.

My credo
Lead follow or get out of my way
I just wanted to drive it to the UPS store yesterday. All I could do is sit in it and watch as my hound laid havoc on yet another mini blind. I had even raised it to where I thought he couldn't reach it... I was wrong. He got on the back of the couch and pulled it down.

I'm not sure how to fix it... but the little guy has some serious separation anxiety.

He will just howl for hours while I'm gone. I guess it beats replacing the blind every couple months.

Eventually they get used to it.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
