My turn!
Since Railman stole that new tow rig for $3500 he's gotten kinda crazy with his ranger. He didn't used to be quite so crazy with it!
We went to Smokey Ridge and had a blast. I had to get tugged out of a gully after the ole brown turd wallered the hell out of it and my almost worn out rear TSLs just wouldn't push me up over the hump! Wish that damn FEDEX girl would show up with my 2 new Boggers from Desert Rat so I can get em on the back!!
I had a blast with the Bluegrass 4x4 crew and look forward to wheelin with them some more.
Jeremy ended up with a dingleberry hanging out of the Ole Brown Turd! Had to wire up his rusty exhaust with a survey flag rod and some zip ties. Got er going and on down the trail!
Kenny's %$#& trees kept trying to commit suicide and juping into my truck so I got some damage! Busted up that new header panel I put in back in May. And got some new dents in the pass. door. The dents should come out. The header panel, well guess I'll do it again once I quite wheeling it! I also tweaked up the rear bumper. No twisting it back into shape so going to have to build one!

Jeremy and Jamie in the Ole Brown Turd. Jamie's a trucker that growed up with Jeremy and brought him a present! A peaked & tuned Cobra 29 Army limted edition CB and new antenna! Thing was blowing my speaker out!! Jamie's got a '91 Ranger on 40s! He's now looking for some 35s" because he just don't have the clearance to trail run it. So he can go with us on his own! And get out of the stinky Turd!

Kenny and Sam, one of his trail dogs. Amazing that somehow the dogs never need a tug or winch! Guess 4 foot drive is still the best option! Maybe we should all go back to horses and mules? :icon_idea: :dunno:

Then went back at it and got in a little night wheeling! Not many pics there. But I got the pass door into a tree and cut Kenny a new road around a hole!

Railman got in a hole and wallered it out good for the rest of us! I went through some deadfall and cut a new road around. Just don't have the clearance.

Those TSL radials do well all the time!! :icon_thumby:
Except the back 2 are about wore out for my taste, so I'm replacing them with 2 boggers. Yep hybrid; boggers on the rear, TSL radials on the front!
 
believe me....under the snow was plenty of soft mud.....

and a close up pic of my "launch".....

Yeah that fits right in with going to "4"!
I'll stick with Greg, Slo-Vo, Jeremy and everyone else trail riding.
You 2 have fun mudding, doing doughnuts and jumping trucks!!!
