Snow-wheeling fuuun!!

That was fuuuuun!  Well last Saterday was the long awaited snow-wheeling trip.  My truck's debut you might call it.  Lol.  Dad,Austin and I got up at 6:00 and got ready to go.  We loaded up my truck on the trailer the night before.  We weren't sure if the truck was road worthy yet,so we took it on the trailer.  We took the bench seat out of our GMC Safari minivan,and fit it into the bed of the truck.  It fit "Like a glove!!!".  Lol.  I'd say I was the most redneck vehicle out there that day.  Hahaha!  Well we met the rest of the group in Georgetown which is only 15 miles from our house.  From there it was about 25 or 30 miles to Uncle Tom's Cabin where we unloaded.  There was a LOT of folks that showed up.  Ahem and my truck was the nicest rig out there....well...maybe not the niiiiicest.  Haha!  It was actualy prolly the worst,but it won't be for long.  Lol.  Here's some of the lineup we had going. 

Well those first pics are only about half of our group.  The last 2 pics are at the lake where we took a quick stop.  My dad didn't get any good pics of the nice rigs out there.  Like Dave's Ranger,or Danny's S10 or Jason's Jeep.  Those are pretty much the best rigs out there.  Now MY persanol favorite out of them would definetly be Dave's Ranger.  You can kinda see it in the pic above.  It the red truck farthest back.  Now for any of you who don't enjoy reading about this kind of "Macho manly stuff" then I'm sorry but that's what this here entry is about.  So either keep reading and I'll do my best to make it interesting,or you can just be a sissy and leave!  Hahaha!  Just kidding.  :) 

    Well I would say that my truck did better than I expected...uhhh not that I wouldn't expect anything but the best from a Ford,and especialy a Ranger...but considering the condition that my truck is in right now,it did well.  :)  I'm proud to say that I even pulled a couple guys out when they got stuck.  Now I myself got stuck a few times...quite a few actualy,but MOSTLY because of my inexperiance.  Lol.  Anyways back to me pulling the other guys out.  Ahem...:)  Well I've got some news for you Shane.  Mr. Junior was doing a bit of bragging before the trip asking me how I wanted to be pulled out when I got stuck.  Lol.  Well it didn't quite go the way he imagined.  I actualy pulled him out.  Haha!  :))  In fact his truck was the one that got stuck the deepest Shane.  Lol.  Tell you anything about Nissan?  haha!  :P  Lol!  Jk.  He even had brand new tires on his truck.  lol.  Anywhoooo.  I also puuled out an F150.  Here's some of that action.  :)

He was up to his frame right there.

Now in that picture you might have noticed that my wheels are silver....Welll....

    These ones aren't soo silver.  Haha!  Well I painted two of them,but I didn't have time to paint the other two before the trip.  Soooo I figured well maybe some people don't care for the black wheels and want to look at silver instead.  So I wanted to be fair.  haha!  :P  I've still gotta paint the other two.  :)  Now see that there bump I'm trying to make it up...well I didn't make it because of my bald tires and how my engine was running at the time.  However Jason and Curtis had to show me how to do it.  Lol. 

Dad didn't get Curtis at the top,but he made it up.  I however didn't get as far.  As you can see below.

Well towards the end of the trip like right when we turned around,I finaly ran all that old watery yucky gas outa my tank and we filled it with some fresh stuff.  Then my engine dramaticly improved and it ran way better.  Before I would step on the gas and it would sputter and not get any speed.  Now I can step on the gas and take off like a rocket.  So I was really excited about that.  Well I guess I'll just show you all some pictures now because I'm prolly boring you with all this talking.  lol. So here ya go.

the unborn baby Brenna in Brett's Ranger.

Little Kyle asleep in my truck bed.  That seat

there is WAY more comfortable than you'd think! Lol.

Junior's on the left of us.          

Jason pulling me backards up a hill I

could not make it up.  loL!  Noice. 

Jason and Curtis working together to

pull out Junior when he got REALLY stuck.

Me stuck....AGAIN.  lol.  I got myself

outa this one though.  I only had to actualy

be "pulled" out like 3 outa 6 or 7 times.  lol!

Well I'd make this post longer,but I'm running out of pics and things to say.  It was an all around AWESOME day and I cannot wait to go again!  :)  It's "Pure manliness" as Junior put it.  loL!  The drive back in the dark with our lights on was especialy fun!  I was leading the pack for a lot of the ride in the dark.  :)  Untill Danny couldn't take it any more and took the lead.  Lol.  I'll try and get some more pics and show em later.  For now...I hope you enjoyed this post somewhat.  lol!  Adios for now everyone!  :)

Well, I'm not going to put up an argument anymore. I think arguing over which truck is better is stupid. I need more time to study my Foreign Policy and Economics.... but Jr. did say that he got stuck only once... you quite a few times. Plus he said the only reason he got stuck so bad was because he really went off road...leaving the trail.

Anyway...I don't know if I'm gonna do such a thing when I get my truck. I know it would way outbeat all yours but I don't want to waste money on gas just to drive around in the mountains and break things on my truck.

Go ahead... I stay behind and get educated.

You even remembered to include baby Brenna! That's cute! Although I don't think she liked 4-wheeling too much. Not yet anyways... :)

Ah, Karl! KARL! You betray yourself! You betray your most beloved-but-needs-four-other-trucks-to-help-it Ford Ranger! You call it a most redneck vehicle, then the nicest one of the lot?? Young man, your cultured taste has a LONG way to go! lol. So from those pictures...what is four wheeling in the snow all about? I'm not acquainted with the procedure. You just go up there and have fun pulling trucks out of the snow? Looks challenging, anyways!

I noticed Katrina looking PRETTY cold in those photos! And also Kyle looking like he couldn't afford to watch another truck sink! lol. Looks like you had quite a gang up there!:-) And "pure manliness"??? GLAD I wasn't up there! lol jk

(Hope your Ford won't need TOO many adjustments after this! At least your getting good mechanic training! I mean, seriously! This has gotta be good for you!:-)
