How heavy rain can affect bed rail clearance
Just returned from a 2500 mile trip to Shipshewana and back. Heavy rain, flooding, tornados, everywhere during the trip. But other than ST tire blowouts, (and 5 tire replacements) we managed to avoi...

Sorry to hear about your fiasco. Maybe you can talk her into one of those fancy flat beds I have seen-lots of clearance. It is a good thing you don't let things get to you.
Now that's a great idea. Trouble is...I would just wreck something else.
Kinda like this scenario...if you know what I mean. I spent a whopping amount of money on a SuperGlide hitch. Just so I would not need to worry about crashing the back window or denting the cab of the truck. And it works really well. Never had that problem. But then after that, I back my truck into a mailbox and dent the tailgate. So as good as that SuperGlide works. It didn't stop me from visiting the body shop that time either. That was a few trucks ago. Even though I still use that same SuperGlide, it doesn't help me from screwing other things up.
Here's my theory..."If you are going to get out there and do stuff, then you are gunna break stuff. Just part of the experience." Then there is my other theory...it's what I call the rearview mirror theory...Things will always cost alot more money than they first appear." Oh...and then there is..."You can never hide anything from your wife. So you might as well fess up early, and take the punishment" Not that the punishment will be any less. It's just that you can get it over with quicker, and then you can get back to fishing, sooner.
Oh and speaking of the rearview mirror. Be aware that if you buy a Ford truck with those defrosting, collapsible, telescoping, foldable, electric remote control, with memory, side passenger rear view mirrors, they cost exactly $1202.65. And Ford dealers can get them in one day from the warehouse. The good news is they can install them in less than 30 minutes. The bad news is, if you back up and hook them on a light pole, they get forced forward. And after that they lose all those special functions...except for defrosting. Oh...and the campground escort takes no responsibility for directing you into that light pole on your blindside. Final lessen...$1202.65 is not worth bother your insurance company about if you have $1000 deductible.
But I digress.
