Bob, it's kinda just what the name implies; a truck for playing in the mud. That thing you see on the back is for holding the spare tire. It rotates/tips down and back so the holder is close to the ground and parallel with it so it's easier to get the tire on and off the holder.
Bob do ph00 and a phew others too.

I obviously knew it was raised, 4x4, off road tires, etc, but that thing on the back had me messed up. Make them thar tires about 4 times higher and that is what we use in the swamps for deer hunting. Lookin' good.
Off to lunch - - finally - - whew.

Water pump on the mega gave up the ghost just as I was pulling up to the motel. 55000 miles on it. Gonna take it to the local dealer in the morning, hope I dont get the run around.

Dont think the pump will be that bad. The dealer opens up at 8 am. Ill have it there. If they refused to warranty Ill fix it myself. Done did some homework and the waterpump off of the 5.9 will work. From 89 all the way to the 6.7's, same pump. Take that Powerstroke.

Making another fly by check on DTR. Pretty slow in here tonight. Guess some of you other people have a life
. Got done with the valve cover job on the 86 Subaru. Dont have to put cardboard under it in the garage anymore.
Now its out to the shed for clam digging stuff. Good tides in two days. Sunset isnt for another 3+ hours here in Alaska so people are out mowing their lawns at midnight. Time for aluminum foil on the windows again or I wont be getting any sleep.

Rats. The clam digging, salmon catching truck wont run.... "expletive deleted"...My sons left behind 84 Ford Ranger. Fuel down the carb (and all over the air cleaner) makes the engine run and the extra made the underside of the hood a nice shade of black with the backfire fire. No fuel getting to the fuel filter. Ya, I know, prob the pump but I dont happen to have a spare!!!. Came in here to vent and get a cup of tea---no beer yet. Oh well, back outside to play in the midnight sun (i am begining to hate that frase).
