Happy 4th all! What R U Doing?

Lots of new 6.7s taking families places to celebrate being free. It really is a blessing to live and drive in freedom (most of the time). Loading up the toyhauler for some fun in the mtns. After that Waldo Canyon Fire up the street, we wont be shooting fireworks off or having a campfire here anytime soon, still, it is a great time to be free. Question, If an idiot who is starting fires hangs in a forest of unburnt trees, will anyone hear?

Great thread!

Not a whole lot on the agenda this week. We're on vacation until Monday but we've got no big plans. Probably take a ride or three in the truck to a few places we like to go. And, we'll probably take the kids to the Salem Fair sometime. Just a good week to R&R.

Happy July 4th everyone!

I've got my family down at VA Beach for some vacation relaxation. My trusty F-250 loaded full of our gear to include several fishing poles. Took my son on a deep sea fishing trip. We will be watching fireworks from the beach on the 4th.

By the way, these trucks do just fine in the sand.

Wish I could say the same...packing for a move. But at least this is not something we do often.

I've driven my 6.7L F350 on the sand many, many times and yes, I would agree they do fine...never had the need to air-down the tires too. On top of that, I've pulled many stuck vehicles out of the sand as well.

Beer and Fireworks - Should be a good time. Otherwise, no real plans for the holiday.


Have a happy and safe 4th everyone!

Happy Tuesday to all y'all out there in Ford Truck Land, big countdown to the 4th, we aren't gonna plan to do anything this year, just hang out & I'm not sure if we are gonna be open here at the store or not, it might be nice just to stay home and splash in the pool & burn some meat of some kind.

Old fashioned 4th for us. Heading to the lake, but no electronics, no powersports stuff, just charcoal grills, good food, good friends, swimming, etc.
