Love that driveway, Tom! Glad to know all you bent was the running board.

 

Thanks Gene! I love it too, the wife not so much. My truck has had a relatively traumatic first 4,300 miles, it's due for a loooong break!

Hey...you wouldn't go by iFord in another forum would you?

 

Yep, that'd be me, one and the same. I ain't too creative. I also recognized you from over there. Keep pulling them loads!

 

Yeah, I'm not too creative either. I created this account ten years ago when I was 17. Since then I've wished a few times I picked something different, but I'm stuck with it. I no longer fit my username as much as I once did, but threads like this call that into question.

 

i did not realize your only 3 years older then me, i pegged you for mid 30s. no offence meant.

 

None taken Russ, I consider that quite a compliment.

 

hey!!! i resemble that remark!!!

sometimes i feel like i'm 35 going on 60.

i still do stuff like this, but my stuff isn't as nice so sometimes it doesn't get fixed

 

Boys, let me tell ye - it won't get much better as ye get older! Me old haid is still stuck somewhere between 5th grade and 27 years old. But, I'm a true geezer. Heheheheheheeee, love watching y'all boys still doing this stuff. I'm with ye.

 

i'm glad you took it as i hoped. funny how as you age its a actually compliment to be called older then you are. my problem is i still look 16. talk about getting carded and your ID looked over VERY hard haha

 

Ah to be in my mid thirties again.....that would be something!

 

Glad you didn't really break anything...a bent running board is cheap damage to what could have happened.

This is why I own a quad. The most damage I can do is total the quad...and that's about 1/9th the cost of a new Superduty.

 

I'd argue that the most damage you could do would total yourself, not the quad! Great point though.

Riding some manner of ATV would be the ONLY way I'll ever venture down that damn road again. I have some good insurance, but I don't see Progressive taking it too well if they found out where I was at. Insurance companies have to cover you regardless of circumstance, but they can also drop your policy and make life hard for the next three years.

 

I'd make that call Tom. USAA would love to have your business and could likely do it for less, Progressive knows that.

These running boards aren't cheap to a working man like me. My wife destroyed her drivers side board on the Expedition and it was an $800 body shop repair. She ran over an old Toyota Corolla.

If my bride didn't have bad knees, I would have already taken the boards off my truck and put them away till I got tired of the truck.

Now, you boys are talking about your age, I'm clearly the old man here. I'll be 52 on the 14th of July.

How did your air dam work out Tom? Any damage up front?

 

LOL!! No you aren't!! I'm 62, an still play offroad. I just can't do it as fast as some of you, vehicle, or body wise!!!

 

That's funny. Back in the day before my area was all grown up and fully developed, i could easily spend hours of road and never hit the same place twice. Mudding around here now gets you a hefty fine.

Since I bought my 2011, I have no inclinations to scratch it, off road it or even work it hard. In fact, if the elocker had been available on the 4x2's in 2011, I wouldn't have bought the 4x4.

So, I will allow my truck to live it's off road dreams vicariously through all of you.
