Geezaloo Cam, that’s rough! It seems like you’re headed in the right direction with your recovery. As they say, slowly but surely.Drove it, for the first time since this happened, just before Christmas.
Good to see you back on your feet.
Yes I need to do the same thing, summer over here here is of course Dec, Jan, Feb. That's when I do most of the tree clearing and trimming around our acerage. Unfortunately the day before I did the damage to me described above last Christmas, I had dropped quite a few trees that were encroaching on our fence over on the far side. Intending to come back, and lop them up the next day, for winter firewood. Well that didn't happen.Yesterday truck stuff..
...today back to work for some rest
keyboard & mouse vs chainsaw
I might just be able to manage that now, but not sure how I'm going to get the wood back yet. Originally I would simply fill a wheelbarrow, and wheel it back, the Ranger won't fit the access unfortunately. Maybe it's time to buy a trailer for the ride on....
Well then I musta been there, used to hit Hamilton (Dofasco) a lot when I was working...St. Catharines, Grimsby, Gretzky's winery, plus lots of time in Simcoe, Port Dover and Nanticoke (Stelco)!
So what size did we go with? I'm thinkin' 275/70-18.so the 33's do fit on the stock sport rims just fine. but at full steering wheel crank they do rub the crash bars a hair. and part of the crash bar frame.I expected the crash bars. Have them already just not installed. i didnt expect them to touch the crash bar frame. so i may need some spacers for the front or wheels with a different off set. the budget friendly route is spacers. the safer route is wheels. the 33s look smaller than i thought they would. at first i thought they put on 265 70 17s again. no verdict on the new rubber yet as I have only made about 20 miles on them. no loss in go power and the ride is a bit softer. The coopers have a softer rubber than the ko2. i assume they will be better in loose dirt and mud but not as good on rock, sand, mixed trails. we shall see.
You’ve been all over that region Trevor - I should be asking you where places are.
The Hammer used to be a much bigger steel town than it is these days. There’s still a lot going on but not like in its heyday. The Niagara wine region is on my list of places to move to, either this year or next.
the ones in that picture are 285 70 17, appx a 33 inch tire. im swapping new rims saturday to see if the offset fixes the rub issue.
Nice !Even though I have a 6g now, I'll post here...drove to Spring Carlisle today for car flea mkt stuff. I bought a 2019 Ranger Raptor! Yup...for 3 bucks. Couldn't pass it up, it's #2 of 10 in the Hot Wheels Hot Trucks series. I think others include the F150 Raptor and Bronco Raptor. I already had 2 other Ranger Hot Wheels, one in white, which I'm trying to pass off as my new 6g Olaf, and another I painted HPR to match my old Pepper.
Olaf rode well, 264 miles round trip, 24.8 mpg...no sign of @Johnny O ...but was happy to see at least 4 other 5g's along the way!
And for my friends in the great white north, where the heck is Elfrida, Ontario?
It was looking great in all its Shadow Black glory.
Speaking of Hot Wheels...this is the rarest and most valuable model:Even though I have a 6g now, I'll post here...drove to Spring Carlisle today for car flea mkt stuff. I bought a 2019 Ranger Raptor!

she needs a full spa day (detail shop). My mustangs got those every 3 months and they always looked sharp. Abbygail has never been. Abuse.
