Finally used the truck as a truck

Well we were ripping down the fence between our property and the next one and taking the post back to the back to the property to stack, my wife couldn't believe that I was going to take the truck back there because of the over growth and it is quite soft because it is always wet back there. Locked the diff and went on back just fine, we got a little bit more to do tomorrow, as long as it doesn't rain ill be sure to snap a pic! Can't wait to get this thing into some more off road applications.... West Virginia will be a great test when we go down there. How often do you guys use your trucks off the pavement and not just to go to the groccery store?

Ha, good for you man. Used a loader to fill it with gravel and took the tailgate off to redo our driveway. Wife was like "you're going to scratch the bedliner". Had to happen sometime...

This is back where it starts to clear out because we shoot back here... Truck was slipping a little today but i didn't put it in 4wd either. One thing i don't like is the grab handle on the tailgate for the man step. It allows stuff to get down into the tail gate and it's a pain to sit on. I will likely take the handle our and get the tailgate rhino lined when i get the bed done.

This was post unloading it, the wife took a walk back to the back of the Woods so I snapped a quick pic. I have almost gotten my super duty stuck going back there, I'm surprised it wasn't more wet back there. Off reading really comes in down in wv where the "road" washes out and to go the back way, you have to go through the little river. Mostly the truck gets used to pull the car trailer but that's on road...

I've driven through fairground parking lots worse than that.

Ha, like I said this is the shooting area not the path to go back, this actually gets attention. We are going to start working on a new back stop since the current one is starting to look like Swiss cheese. Cleaning the under side of the truck was no fun, there was a lot of **** up in the cracks. Ordered wheel well liners and the tailgate access panel today as well
