New truck! & Ranger took a hard fall!!

Haven't been on here in awhile, made a couple of changes out here...



I traded in my Lightning for this '03 F-250 so I can get back and forth to work in what ever weather mother nature throws at us. I got this quad for use around the house and of course some fun!

The Ranger took a hard fall about a month ago, don't have any pics uploaded yet, anyway on my way to work 1 day my driverside wheel bearings seized up and my tire, rotor, and caliper completly fell of the truck. Thankfully I was only doing about 30mph or it probably would have fliped over. The truck had a lot of broken parts, no body damage. The spindle, spindle nuts, bearings, caliper, and hub were al destroyed. Its almost fixed and I'm going to try to make it out to the next Wharton trip. I'll post pics of the Ranger later this week.

Hopefully see you guys out in Wharton again!
Mike

Thanks guys. The truck is a 5.4L gas, deisel prices are a too high and this does pretty good on gas.

Hey Josh its a 750. Its pretty badass!! 2 days after I got it I put a set of Mudwieser tires on it. Love it!

Yeah Josh these tires are awesome, gets through alot. No exhaust for me, we ride into the night sometimes and need to keep it quiet.
