lol, i guess everybody else is as crazy as me. the move back from tx is up in the air. still discussing it with the old lady. it would be after i get out of the military and would be going back for school/work and also to be closer to family. with gas prices i really dont want to buy another truck. plus mine will be paid off by then so i dont want another car payment either. thx for the tips

That's the funniest thing I've read in days. Sorry, but it is funny. You'll look back & laugh 1 day about it.

Other funny things are fabbin a TB out of black pipe & tryin to stop a 4-5000# truck w/o brakes on both ends. Yes, there are those types on PT. I can't take readin more than a few posts at once before my head hurts.

But Michael, you're speed bump fiasco was just unfortunate, not stupid.

Basically the driveway that leads to the gate is on a slight incline. So, when you'd be at the end of that driveway you have to hit the gate button and time it just so its fully open when you drive through it. Without the rolling momentum I would get stuck.

I run mine in the winter. Throw 400lbs of sand in the back and I'm good to go.

Oh ya, 1 thing I like bout winter. You can't powerslide in TX like u can here.

But that has a bad side too. A light rear makes fishtailing fun. I can't count how many times during winter I go sideways on purpose.
