My Reo-mobile

Nice Jeep! I have a thing for Jeeps! Heres my work in progress.

Great idea for a tag! My tag renews in May, I may have to get me a vape related plate!

Nice! Mine is mostly stock, not many places to off road down here. mostly airboats and swamp buggies in the swamps.

I actually liked the '91 F-150 XLT SB better with its injected 4.9 straight-six granny 4-speed and higher cab roof line (I'm 6-1). It could go nearly anyplace a stock 4X4 could. The '99 can't... I spent 1.5 days digging it out once on the desert when on crutches, another time almost 3 days walking off the desert when I couldn't get it out. Unfortunately this picture was taken just days before a clown came around a semi on a two lane highway curve in a midsize sedan and hit me head on at an estimated 70MPH and totaled it. I was going 35MPH, the speed limit, was able to move over just enough in the split second I had to go over the top of his car without hitting the drivers side of the windshield, and that saved his life. The '91 had just been repainted, got new rubber and it's annual bumper to bumper service done the month before. Anyway, I bought the '99 when I couldn't find another late eighth generation F-150 XLT SB in acceptable condition anywhere in the west.

Looks like you could reach out and touch a few yotes and jacks with either rig.

Getting way off topic here, but yeah, they got it done OK after the 4X4 days. I did free ADC for landowners and municipalities for over 50 years. It saved livestock, cash crops, pets, sometimes kids/adults from predator attacks, and collateral damage to non invasive species from poisoning (that also saved the LO's/towns a lot of money for poisoning up to 5 times per year). A carry over from being born/raised on a working ranch where vermin control was one of my very early chores. I did it as I had from the start, alone, safely and humanely pitting my skills against theirs one on one (no camo, baits, electronic devices, and with mouth blown animal calls I made myself). When called in all day and all night was my routine if needed until the problem was handled. I only stopped doing ADC about a dozen years ago because of handicaps/health issues that prevented me from doing it my way anymore.
