Oh yea, It was funny at first. Until I had to change all the damn tires (8 lugs each) - I did bring a floor jack and a Cordless impact, so it could of been worse..

If you had the battery power, an 8000 lb will pull that truck up a tree lol

 

The rating of the winch is measured by dragging a weight across a flat surface. No wheels. I went with a 1.75:1 ratio of vehicle weight to winch capacity. 5200 x 1.75. Besides the day I bought it I was on a business trip and they only had the XD9000i in stock.

man i dunno, the warn 9.5ti pulls but sure does slow down with one batt. my only complaint, probably be fixed with a 2nd batt.

 

Someone makes a kit to mount two Optima batteries in the F-150. I believe it replaces the factory battery tray and the batteries go sideways. Found one:

haha sweet! howd your truck do pullin it out?

 

Good! Just stuck in neutral, I left it in high. -Didn't have to snap it, but I floored it , - lol - I love my truck. - Popped it right out. Looked in my rear view in time to catch her tool box disconnecting from the bed. She dug some holes with the front tires, when the rears hit them, the toolbox shot straight up.

The kid was over rolling around in the grass trying to get cleaned up after hooking it, - had to wrap the frame - No hooks.

 

im about her same age..



just saying.

 

ahh makes me wanna have kids!!

lol not really.

 

It's to bad we weren't forced to wait until 30 yrs of age to have kids. There would be allot less coming from broken homes. Plus you get about 12 years after high school to set yourself up,- prevent that financial bind young families find themselves in.

Yea, I would put it on the back burner for now and have me a cold one.



On the other hand, - Some of the stuff they do is funnier than hell lol.

 

The good thing about having them young is they are out of the house when your still young. You also get to enjoy Grandchildren more. I've never had any of my own. I did raise my stepson though. He's gone to the Navy now. Great kid. Gettin married soon he's only 21. I tell him to wait but they dont listen. We will probably see grandchildren in the next couple of years.

 

Yea, if they move out lol. Worst case scenario = My daughter and some punk raising a kid in my basement. - I don't have nightmares, but that would really suck!

Yea, my brothers boy just finished boot camp, I swear that kid put on 20 pounds lol.

 

yep my bro is in that situation lol ive got a niece and a nephew thats enough children for me right now

You have that correct. Also some might not have kids at all.
I knew early on that kids were not my thing, and at 41 I am WAY too old to start now. Damn I would be 60 at HS graduation
