^^^ WTF?If you want to know what that means just hang out at the local auto parts place and ask them about the dumb-ass's that occasionally come in and ask if they sell liners for the box liners of their pickups.
^^^ WTF?^^^I think there are some drivers who buy a truck thinking it's more crash-worthy over cars plus the added benefit of viewing traffic from riding in a higher centered vehicle. There's a neighbor not far from me that has a fancy painted Dodge Ram complete with fiberglass bed cover and air spoiler, wrap-around grill guard, fancy side steps, and auxiliary lights. All he carries in the bed is a small pail with wax, rags and auto cleaner!
I We would go out and find other dumb asses driving other Brands of Pickups and pull them out. .....When we parted paths, he said I'm trading in this GD peace of **** and I'm buying a Ford
My first 4wd was an ol' FJ55 Toyota landcruiser, I got it for free as it didn't have a motor and was full of rust. It was a custom built 4 door cab with a full size tray on the back. 12 months later I had re-wired it, put a 6cyl petrol motor in and got it registered. That ol' gal had a top speed of 80K with a strong tail wind and in low range 4wd it would go any where. For fun I used to go in sand and leave a groove where the diff was dragging in the sand. One afternoon me and a mate went out fishing on a sand jetty where we saw a new 100K 4wd stuck in the sand on the low tide mark. I called out and said 'eh mate do ya want me to drag you out'. He replied with that ol' heap of crap don't bother. So we left the guy stranded and went and setup fishing about a kilometre away. About two hours later the guy came up with cap in hand and asked if we could get him out as the tide was rising. My mate casually said OK mate $500 in cash up front, I knocked my mate off his stool and told the guy after your comment make it $1000 cash upfront or pissoff. He guy grumbled and pulled out his wallet and gave me that $1000 and said if you don't get me out I want my money back. Anyway I drove over attached a chain and dragged him out to safety. When we stopped the guy made a smartass comment and drove off. Two weeks later the same guy got bogged and asked me again, I simply said mate after your last comment your new 4wd can be a new home for the fish so go away and don't bother me again.
I will see if I can find my backup disk which has some pic's of that new 4wd with only the roof visible above the water.
I ended up selling that ol' gal and bought a 80 series 2 door ute and the first time I took it in the sand it bloody got bogged.
Cheers Bryan
Put ya self in that guys shoes if your 100K 4wd was bogged on the low tide mark where the tides are 7-9 metres and the only way to get out is by a guy with a vehicle capable of towing you out. He asks for a wad of cash so would you pay or just sit and watch your prize 4wd slowly go underwater.....
You have yet to see real cold this year ?
I don't mind it now that we have a 140 HP tractor with a heated cab and 9 foot snow blower.
I remove your reality and insert my own.
Well I just found out at my nieces birthday party the heater blower went to pieces earlier today so does that make you feel better?:
If you where near here I would happily put your neighbors snow pile up on their roof or in their back yard or through their front window for you if you so wanted.
BTW do they have a small barking dog on a leash? I have an experiment I want to try!
