I would argue the same for any truck to be honest.

In most cases I will admit I agree, but when you are doing logging trails and some severe off road driving it's mandatory. Still you would not buy a Raptor for that type off driving. It wouldn't work.

That's a lot of work to get it out of there even without snow on the ground.

I hauled it up in the fall and then just split it up on the side of the driveway.
Yes it was a lot to got it all up last fall.
There is still a little down below. I don't think I will be able to get to it till the fall with everything going on with the upcoming addition and all the work I have lined up.

Good morning CT'ers. We didn't get the snow, but are going to have a windy day with a chill. I think I put the snow blower away today and get the lawn mower out. That usually means more snow. But I will take my chances.

Good morning everyone! Looks like we're gonna miss the snow this time. Still driving the truck to work though, I try to stretch her legs at least once or twice a week.

I always have a spare seat, the question is just when I will be heading down. I have to work briefly at some point but unsure if its at 9 or 11. Not sure if I want to head down after that or early Saturday. Either way I won't be getting much sleep.

Good evening fellas.

Attempted to tackle rear wheel bearings on the Lincoln tonight. Everything was going well until I found my second bearing was previously opened and missing an O-ring.

Looks like she's sitting like this until tomorrow night.

Very true. In fact a year ago I was driving a 2010 Fusion instead of doing that.
