Unfortunately I have the hitch on mine in the up position cause our trailers so high. Only radiator I'd take out with it is another truck. Not to mention it hurts when you walk into one of those things in the dark.....

My buddys Dads truck (99 crew lb psd) has a ranchhand rear bumper. Last week he was up in Oregon. The driver of a grey hound bus miss calculated his turn and hit it! And then kept going while the bumper dented every panel on the side of the bus! Everyone was ok! Hiss hitch is still in tact but will need some straightening!!!

On day 5 now and it sure sucks. I've read things online that say it never gets any better. Dumbest thing I ever did in my life was pick up that first one, oh so many years ago.

No but it can scare them bad enough to cause them to drive off the side of the road... I'm thinking less along the lines of prevention, more along the lines of retaliation.

Retaliation is always fun..... Until it comes around and bites you in the a$$. I could have so much fun with a train horn.

So they opened up some new ridding areas there and I decide to hit it, I take a easy circle and thought that was a piece of cake then did a medium Square and was easy to so I decide to do a Double Black Diamond call Tank trap trail well it ends up that the trail wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be I Dumped the bike 4 time and on the last Mile I slid off that trail and ended up in a Poison oak bush so now I got Po sin Oak and School what a great first week of school

This is like magic!! I was waiting for Lisa to say something first, but I gotta jump in. I seem to see an IQ jump of double digits.

Many things could be said.

I know better than to aggrivate a smoker who hasn't had a cigarette in 5 days.

Op..I mean..former smoker. Are your cravings getting any better? I've never smoked, or done drugs, but I've quit caffiene and sugar before. Those are my addictions.

Does poo and Pooh count?

Speaking of poo, or poop, I gotta go shovel some that bodes to be nowhere near a cool as Lisa's.....

Hang in there Mark. The urge WILL subside......eventually. You've just got to out stubborn it.

Jacob, damn good job.

Thank you everyone, especially you Mark since you had the heart to care about correcting my confusing posts. I will certainly try to keep using proper grammar and punctulization in all of my posts from now on.
