    23rd ORT in The Lone Ranger โ€“ Moonlight Racing 3-15-14

    Itโ€™s been way too long since Iโ€™ve had the chance to go out and play (9/13 was the last outing). Kiddo is taking up quite a bit of time so the truck doesnโ€™t see much in the way of play time anymore. But hey, It was nice to get out into the woods again! When was the last time you saw a Mercury Wagon on the road? We showed up with a huge crowd and wound up splitting off into…

Apparently you need to knock on the door to…

    Moonlight Racing 1-31-15

    1st ORT in the TJ โ€“ Moonlight Racing 1-31-15 Our first trip out in the TJ was an easy shake down run to Moonlight with the boy.ย  I was somewhat concerned as to how well the boy (and wife) would tolerate the rawness of the TJ.ย  The last wheeler (1994 Ranger) was pretty plush with a decent interior, A/C, and sound deadening.ย  So the TJ is a step backward in those departments.ย  But my fears were unfounded and it turned…
