I did that a lot once. There is a hill near my parents' house, ices almost every time it storms, and there is a stop at the top of it. you come to a complete stop and then start sliding back down the hill.

oh boy what have i spawned here.
dont think that just because the ground looks flat enough to leave it in netural while you get out to open a gate dont mean it wont roll and leave you holding the rear bumper being dragged behind until you can dig in for traction.

1). Dont forget to put up your tailgate after you load your truck with your nice tires after putting on your winter tires and then go drift in the snow. Then you might have to fight the bum you find rolling it down the road after if flies out and you dont notice til get home and you go back to find it...

2). Dont forget to tell the girls you like their skirts so they wear them around you and forget they are wearing them as they throw a leg up high to try and get in.

Don't forget how light the doors are before it slams shut in the wind and you end up picking glass out of your a$$ for months!

Anyone got a driver's side Ranger door glass?

don't throw a full yard of top soil in your truck. That dirt is heavy. (I should have listen to the guy at the store.)

oh c'mon now. i've had like 1500 lbs in my truck bed of steel. my truck handled it just fine i'm pretty sure a full yard doesn't weigh that much

Don't over-inflate your tires trying to get better fuel mileage on a long trip. You will get to your destination 800 miles later and see that you have worn out half of the middle tread on your tires.

Don't let your kids play "gas station" with it. I went to go see what was going on, since they were playing with my BII, and I was told that they were playing "Gas Station". Uh-huh. Did you guys check the oil? "yep, washed the windshield and put gas in it too." Gas? "yeah, from the water hose." So, I now have a "custom" drain plug in the BIIs' 23 gallon tank, thanks to the well meaningness of my children.

Been there. I did the same thing to my dads lincoln when I was 5!

Speaking of dads, do not let them help on your projects! Haha, learned that the hard way. Also this should be common knowledge...but if the air impact starts chattering a bunch...lay off!
Make sure you ground your deck before you start the truck...once that magic blue smoke gets out. It ain't going back in.

I respectfully disagree with you on that one. If you're dad knows more than you, ask him. You might learn something.

Don't ever let friends barrow your truck, espeaclly if it's your only vehicle. Tell the friend that you & the truck are a package deal. NO EXCEPTIONS!
