Heh,,if you get tired of "truck friendly" areas, hang you a dump bed on there and come on down. I have been hauling and dumping off road for close to 2 weeks now, and the worse thing I have to dodge is cows, had a standoff with unruly Longhorn the other day, but the "bulldog" won, I guess Im lucky i didnt get a horn through the radiator though.

I believe by the time I get through, this pond is going to be totaling well over 300 loads on a 14 yard dump, one at a time. I did get to hit the road a couple of days, sold some of it for a house pad, I needed that break, I think cows did too,,,,randy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15774-been-away/#findComment-63748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
