I hope these Rangers can pull it off!!! I really enjoy watching them and have been a life long fan, I have never given up on the Rangers but I may give up them Cowboys.

No mud drags for me. I'm headed down to Giddings to go dig some trenches for electric conduit. Trying to get power to our barns so we have some light and power in there. It's been a pending project for a while, but it just got some priority since Mom needs some expenses before the close of the year for tax purposes.
Hopefully the trencher I get this time is more friendly than the one I rented previously.

Not too far this time, probably only 300-400ft. Last time I rented a trencher, I did a short run over at the house for some electric and then ended up doing a quarter mile run at our other place for some water line. At the end of that, I was really wishing that I had gotten something bigger than the walk-behind.

I have put in a couple irrigation systems. Those were some of my hardest days ever worked in all my days. wrestling trenchers around a yard is not enjoyable!
Go Rangers!

Well after 6 years, 3 months of ownership and 140K miles........it was past time to do a little front end work on my truck. My Nitto Terra Grappler tires wore slap out after 27K miles and I was expecting at least twice that. Part of it was the soft rubber compound in the tires but probably the biggest part of it was my worn out front end and lack of a correct alignment in quite a long while.
I have been shopping and making some purchases over the past few weeks including, but not limited to :
Dynatrac Ball Joints (upper and lower)
08.5 Dodge Ram upgraded steering tie rod kit and new style pitman arm
KORE Leveling kit with new 3'' lift coil springs, Bilstein shocks, Drop blocks
Bilstein steering shock for 08.5 and up trucks
2 new Precision Front Hubs (Dynatrac freespin kit will have to wait, to much $$)
2 New front axle Precision Ujoints
Pair of Maxx Suspension Sway Bar End Links
Also....installed....Black Powdercoated H2 Wheels with 315/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires and a computer front end alignment at 4wheel parts. Unrelated, but I also added a new pair of Diehard Platinum 2 batteries.
The truck drives like a new truck!! Thankyou Kurt (RV Pro) for your help.
