A few more logs and you'll have to install rear wheel steering :)

Looks like someone felled an entire forest there. ;D

How long will that lot last you? Not long I bet

A little over a week. Maybe 10 days or so.

Certainly puts the small pile of logs my parents have for their living room fire into perspective. Mind you, they recently got their hands on the remains of a felled oak tree. Man does that stuff last. :)

Looks fine to me. Just swing the front round to point the right way with your little finger and jump in and go!

I looooove wood fires. How much did all that weigh? It must be awesome to be able to have the land and the ability to do that. :cool: What was she like to drive around your fields? I still remember your "Offroading with Mickey_D" vid you posted! :D So when can we come and visit?

Do you really think it's wise to pile so many logs into a truck with such a high rust/holes:metal ratio? :shocked: :p

Nah nothing but a bit of surface rust that, mind your foot as you get in.... there be a little hole in the passenger footwell. Remember to lean back in your seat as we go along and all will be well :D






Those were the exact words of my grandad describing his 1950's army truck (as I was getting in).... the slight hole was no floorpan and you leant back so if he stopped you wouldn't go down the hole!

I think by the suspension compression it's somewhere around 3,500 pounds. I didn't DARE take it out in the fields as I would have blown a rear tyre. And at that point I would have had to completely unload the truck to change it.


And any time anyone wants to come visit my deserted corner of the world, you're more than welcome. I will warn you though, the nightlife around here is mind numbingly crippling. (read as non-existant)


Anyways, I need to go unload it now. The wife called me from work and said her car's alternator light came on on the way to work. Which means the alternator belt broke or the alternator died. Either way, I need to go fix it. And to get there I need the truck and I can't see driving 30 extra miles I don't have to fully loaded!! ;) That thing gets crappy enough gas mileage as it is....
