Things don't rust out here, but you also have a heck of time finding a place to put holes in paper from 100 yds away. You win some you lose some.

Very entertaining I'm in NW PA. I guess I've taken for granted the ability to site in the rifle nearly anywhere, but I won't any longer. Toyota-Boy, that's sweet your bed is aluminum. Very nice.

Here's a picture of the gas cap on my truck:

The funny thing is that this time last year I was in OH and wish so much that I was back there now (for that particular aspect). I never really went after deer and they still let you poke holes in paper with pretty much anything you want.

Yeah, this area is good for that. Kids even get the first day of deer season off school I haven't hunted in a long time, but the excitement of everyone is fun during that time of year.

My kids here in my part of WV get the entire first week of deer season off. I do believe that my county is the only one like that here in WV

where did you get the amber colored lights next to the tail lights? Are they the blinkers or did you make them tail lights?

I got them at Advance Auto. They function as the turn signals.

just curious as as to how you mounted the wooden bed to the frame. Thank you! I’m looking to do this to my black 89 ford ranger to make it stand out. Also, did it end up having a good, healthy ride weight? Mine already beats the hell outta me. Thanks!
