Some Big *****

Root ***** that is. If nothing else I got all y'all to look at the post. Just thought I would throw that picture out there. These were some hefty trees. Each one was between 1100-1500 lbs a pop. Not fun to get them off the trailer. Wish I had taken some pics of getting them off the trailer, that would have given y'all something to laugh about. It really strained the big tractor that I have.

It may have strained your tractor, but didn't even make the 6.0 break a sweat!

Based on that picture, the vertical pillar of the 5th wheel seems mighty close to the rear of your dually.

Just picture angle. I had a lot more severe angles on that sucker and no dings, scratches, or any other type of "accident".

Dude, those things are gross. Why don't you just put a big ding-dong on the back of your truck, and paint a big rainbow on the tailgate while you're at it? I like everything about the ranger other than that though fwiw.

Lol, I got those as a gag gift for my birthday one year and had to put them on the truck for humor. I don't even have that little thing anymore!

Yup, but it's better for Dustin now... He's got a truck with real stones, not pseudo!

Hey, we aren't doing our job if we don't have our FTE wrists slapped 8..9..10 times a year. At the rate I'm stirring up trouble, I'm shooting for 12 before the end of the year.

We have a BUNCH of trucks around here with them "nuts" on it. I think its down right tacky and trashy and maybe even offensive to some (not me)

Some theorize that such displays are compensatory for some unfortunate natural deficiency...
