    Ironically I just broke 90k miles on my 2017 after a run up to the UP this weekend. I like my Toyota… the other midsize trucks just done cut it for me :)

    Not to burst anyones bubble but a quick google search shows that Ford killed off the idea of a Bronco pick up in summer of 2021. I believe the next gen Ranger is supposed to use a variant of the same chassis. Although I doubt it would be designed to fit 35's out of the box.

    I’m far more distressed by this -13 bullshit than whatever the idiots at Ford are doing

    Just saying…

    Cheers!

    Damn, so I can't get an even bigger, uglier variant of the Bronco? So disappointing. :rofl:


    Imagine coming from 70° weather to this. I'm a little closer to moving south every time I come back. o_O

    If I recall correctly, the entire state of Wisconsin was enjoying a relatively balmy January. Temps were in the mid 30s the entire time you were away.

    it only got cold when YOU CAME BACK! this crap is all YOUR fault!

    We demand that you go back to Florida right now so we can warm up!

    If I got any closer to the lake I’d be underwater! In fact, I actually saw the last bit of open water turn to ice in front of my eyes last night. (It’s kinda cool to see happen)

    This was all open water as of 4:00 yesterday.

    Can Confirm. It is a brisk -5f in Racine. While we did get a good dumping of snow last weekend it's nothing like you have had so far this winter.

    Tim,
    I was thinking the same thing. You just beat to saying it. This cold will pass.

    I can go back, if that's what's best for everyone. :)

    It's even colder where I'm working today. :bananadead:

    Don't go drive one of the new Frontiers then. They are very taco like when it comes to how midsize trucks behave and handle

    Correct.

    You clock in at Echo base or something?

    So, are you suggesting that James set up a WI TW take over of Florida next winter.
    I have a Kayak. Never been up close to shark. But, I did get to pet an alligator back 2019 when we were in Sarasota

    Do they have a Gatorton off-road park down there in Warmlandia?

    I couldn’t stomach a Nissan… I’m good with my Tacoma. I like midsized but there’s nothing out there I really desire. I don’t want a half ton either, just too much for daily driving and pricing gets dumber by the day.

    Yeah, uh, thanks for the encouragement...? I did sleep out there Sunday night and woke up to 34° and was doing fine in my setup. Wasn't out there last night, but I'll check the temp again tonight and report back. My wife and kid think I'm a nut.
