Trucks are like quads... EVERYONE OF THEM HAVE GOOD FEATURES... You just have to look at them and decide which one meets your needs the best. The next truck I get will be a Ford or Nissan. MY Dodge is the best truck I have ever had,BUT the crew cab in a Dodge is SMALL. I want a truck that can carry people comfortably in the back seat.
You might want to visit the TEXAS state fair between now and Oct 10th. They will have EVERY truck on the planet on display. It makes it easy to copmpare all of them at one time.

OkieRider and TD250R, I have a whole truck full of spare 250R parts I will bring today to the river for show and sell! I even have an almost complete '85 ATC 250R, spare gas tank, stock headlight, flywheel and stator, custom made exhaust pipe, stator covers, clutch covers, triple clamps, etc. Bring some cash but not a whole lot, I don't have room to store all of this stuff! We will be at the river about Noon or so today. Havinsomefun, we got the P700 up and running with a new battery. See you guys there!

Never did hear back from the Major.. Sorry. :lLet me know how that whole deal turns out.Jason "opinions are like @$$ holes, everyone has one, here's mine" Brink Man

I really like my Avalanche, but I can't put my Rancher in it. The Rancher is too wide. Is that the problem you have with putting the Grizzly in the back? I didn't think a Rancher would be any wider than a Kodiak, but I guess so...

Shawna,
Don't get me wrong, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE our Avalanche. We always haul all or none, so trailering don't bother me.
I was figuring on Bob getting a truck so he wouldn't have to trailer, so I thought I'd warn him early. I know Bob has one of the monster quads, so I know it wouldn't fit the Avalanche or maybe not ANY of the shorter trucks. With the 27" tires on my Grizzly, I couldn't shut the gate on my full sized F-150.
In order to answer your question, Yes, the Grizzly is WAY TOO WIDE to fit in the bed. With the Kodiak, I have about 1/2" clearance on both sides and still have to leave the gate down.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Bob, may I add one more thing??
Measure your quad from the end of the tires front to back & side to side before shopping for the truck. Also, you may want to measure INSIDE the wheel wells, especially if you're looking at some of the more narrow trucks (Rangers, Nissans, Toyota's). I have a friend with a ranger & a Polaris with Mud tires. The tires won't fit between the wheel wells, & he can't shut the tailgate.
Once again, only the ramblings of a mad man.

Aybody else fortunate enough to speak with Mr. Joe Sherriff at the river today? I was very displeased to hear what he had to say. I think that maybe McClain County has overstepped their boundaries and possibly went above the Burlington Railroad. Perhaps the railroad is tired of people crossing the tracks, etc. but why don't we see the authority coming from them instead of a Deputy making $800 a month (OOPS, did I say that out loud?). Anyways, enough rambling, had a good time riding today and meeting some more club members.

Zilla,
What did Joe have to say?? I was under the impression that the river was public access. The road into the river isn't properly posted and I wonder if the railroad has the right to deny access since there is a road that is not fenced, gated, or marked. It is also (don't quote me on this, but I think the railroad right of way is also public access as well). Try to remember exactly what was said and I will do some research on it.
Thanks,

nah, i've always heard that the roads along the river belonged to the railroad. and enforcing the law isnt their job. thats how the sheriffs earn their $800/month. also the land that we cross on that road to the river ... thats private too, but they dont care.
you just have to be careful. and dont make waves. cant we all just get along?
