Wow, that's a steep hill!

Nice ride, Jay. Don't make a mess of it by eating the Brazilian hamburgers while driving.

Rotate your computer clockwise 90 degrees and then upload the photo :devil2:






John John needs to see Tim Tim about more stickers.

Have 145 on my 2004 F150 - great truck. Though it did develop a little rattle from the dashboard.

Did you sell the m3?

So you going to pull your camo ice shanty with that thing?

Still have the M3 Chris. My Ford Expedition has 174k on it and the tranny went on Sunday. Not worth fixing at this point. Luckily it went after me and Johnny came back from fishing. BTW I'm going to let the M3 go for cheap money if anyone has any intrest.

Have had vaious fishing vehicle over the last 20 tears. I had a small GMC pickup with a cap and would sleep inside the cap at Burligame. Did this when I fished 4 days a week. Was very good since no need for any camping gear except a sleeping bag , a Peak1 stove to boil water for coffee and a portable tiny propane grill to burn meat on. I would often head down to Charlestown Thursday early afternoon and stay until I had to drive home to work after fishing monday AM. This was probably the simplest most carefree time of my fishing career.

Road the beaches in friends 4 wheelers in the fall from maybe 83 onward then I just had to get a vehicle of my own to ride the beaches. Got a used 4WD Blazer two years old with just 22k miles for half its original price. That type of Blazer (94-2002 models) glides over the sand beautifully. kept that blazer 7 more years abd had zero problems until the last year when it cost me plenty to keep it alive that last year.

Got an almost identical 2002 same deal , 2 years old with about 20K miles for less than half the original sticker and still have . Both theses blazers towed many a dumb a$$ out of sand traps in all kinds of other big , small, cheap , expensive , big name , economy named models of SUV's. Never even one time did either of these Blazers get close to stuck. Alas , they no longer make that model and I don't know how the new "TrailBlazers" are in the sand. Like Big Game reels and Cortland Spectron line----the best fishing gear , including trucks eventually get changed or discontinued. So we adapt and improvise because we are surf fisherman.
