6.2 doing firewood hauling

Want to give a shout out to raindesert! He is clearing a spot of land a few miles away from me and hit me up if I wanted any firewood. Couldn't pass that offer up, got my dad and uncle out with me and we probably cut and loaded around 2.5 cord or so, really super nice wood, thanks again raindesert!

Made my 6.2 grunt pretty decent coming out of the location, there is a few hills that are not to steep but steep enough I kept it in second gear going up and down, sure made it grunt good.

82, it's a protech headache rack, all aluminum. Dad has always been big into your downs for good reason, his pickup is always a work pickup. Bought that pickup about 5 years ago with 66k miles on it and now has about 96 on it, full banks power pack.. 6 speed manual with manual t case.. mighty fine pickup.

Seeing that clean 6spd 7.3 sure brought back some good memories . That's quite the load on the 6.2, over 4k lbs likely. The in-laws loaded their truck like the 7.3 and weighed it on the scale at about 3800 lbs. Nice work
