Video of “the swamp donkey”

[Bracket racer]

Not sure who remembers, but I built a 91 ranger on here called “the stumpy swamp donkey” a few years back as well as a 06 ranger named “boots”. It was named that because my wife’s mud truck is a 02 explorer called “Dora”. (Dora the explorer.. get… never mind)

Anyway, been away a while and have done more work and videos on them!
My latest,

Cool videos man

Cool videos man

Thanks! I have to separate off roading and drag racing though

Starting another channel soon to move all the non-off road stuff to.

In NH a swamp donkey is a moose.

In Michigan... swap donkey is an old doe.

But we don't have moose. Well... they tried to reintroduce them in the UP along with the wolf. Last I heard the wolves killed all the moose.

@Bracket racer your video makes me want to get the hell out of Illinois and to northern Michigan even more.

Has it been sprayed there for the non-evergreen trees?

Not that I know of. Sprayed for what? They spray for various bugs…
A swamp donkey as per the dictionary is an “old ugly tramp who hangs around bars preying on young men” Yes we found out after naming

Anyhoo… here’s my latest, this is with “Boots”.

Sprayed for non-evergreens maybe Here they have sprays for everything that moves, and I so hate to see them passing by with their poisons. Had to give up gardening ten years ago because no pollinators survived.
I wondered if those trees you were dozing there were dead, to me they appeared to be

Those were alders and they grow that big in a few years. They are trimmed every 5-10 years. That area was trimmed in 2020.

Here’s another one, I didn’t take the donkey this time, I drove “Boots” instead. Of course the wife had “Dora” (the explorer)
It was snowing and I started blowing snow. Then I thought, “wtf am I doing, I should be playing in the snow, not working!”
I’ll plow tomorrow….

 

[Bracket racer]

Had some "non off road" types stop by. Of course had to take them out for a rip to show them how fun it is!

 

[Curious Hound]

Looks like a fun day

 

[Bracket racer]

Well after putting the snow tires on it in Nov and then parking it...and it sat....until today....Hit the key and it fired right up ready to go play!! Looks goofy with the little tires though, lol. Haven't been driving it or boots or even Dora much because we got a bronco sport...which I just wrote off last Thursday night in a snow storm. Wife is still mad. They said $38,000 in damage....with no airbags, no broken glass, all the door open and close fine....bullshit!!!

The other reason I haven't been around forever is drag racing, I really enjoy off roading, but I LOVE drag racing. I'm currently switching my bracket racing mustang which has been parked for 27 years into a U/SA Stock Eliminator car.
I bought a blue 86 from alberta to race until my white 83 was completed but I never got it done last year. Now this year, to turn it back into a legal Stocker, I needed a bunch of stuff I stripped out of it. So, I bought the black 79 for the nose etc. So now I have 2 rangers, 3 mustangs, an explorer and a f150 in my yard...but no bronco sport (sniff, sniff, what an awesome off road capable rig!!)

 

[Bracket racer]

Oh, and as for video's, this is what the Bronco Sport is capable of when lifted and fitted with bigger tires and full skid plates...

and the trail the DAY BEFORE A HUGE SNOW STORM that I wrote it off in...
