    29th ORT In The Lone Ranger – 1-1-15 Washita MX

I didn’t get to wheel the truck as much as I would have like to have as 3 of the Jeeps I was running around with suffered some failures (Dead hub/locker, Popped shaft, no start). Since the trucks future looks bleak, I haven’t spent any time fixing things on it, so onto the trailer it went for the ride down: <a href=”http://saral.zenfolio.com/p702483558/ea6eff2c”><img…
