Clean your room before you criticise the world.
I actually found that guy with the big fancy ranger and invited him to come out. He lives nearby a friend I used to work for. Stopped by one day after paying my buddy a visit.
Wasn't sure if he was actually gonna make it out or not, cool that he did though.

Thanks but I don't have that on either my laptop or my phone. It simply isn't there.

Do you have any adblockers or popup blockers or something similar? I know sometimes I have to turn off some or one of mine for a site to work properly.
Or try a different browser. I'm using the latest FireFox.

Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
So here's photos of when I got stuck in sand, @AgPete139, @Mightyfordranger, and @85_Ranger4x4 pushed me out.

The engine wound up overpowering the clutch, and it smoked like a smoke grenade. Next stop, 10 inch clutch upgrade.

Sincere thanks to all three for helping out, and @85_Ranger4x4 for the photos. Any chance you have one of my clutch burning up?

I am trying but my video editing computer is acting like it is... powered by a 2.9.

I might have to get a subscription on my newer computer.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

That was me. I'll put my Rock Auto gift certificate to use and order a spare clutch to have on hand.

I feel like if you cranked up the idle screw and got a doubler you wouldn't need to even use the loud pedal...but a spare clutch is much cheaper than a crawl box. Lol

I need to turn mine back down, I bumped it up for the ride and it bugged me the whole way out and back.
