Traded for a Taco? That had to hurt the pride! Me, I couldn't feel better. I haven't had a truck in 3 years. Got me a truck again last month. First diesel that wasn't Army issue. Love it, love the sight, starting to learn just how complicated diesels can be. (Unlike old Army trucks)

Traded my old suburban (Cammo, 383 fi, 4" lift on 35s) for my wife to get a new mini-van! (young people,Yeah, I'm whipped... but that's love there)

Anyhow, Got my VA money in (yes, an M915A2 tractor can jump 6+ft when you hit an IED crator doing 60.) and got me a Powerstroke! Good to find a place for Illiana owners. Ever have meets? (Didn't feel like reading all 158 pages)

i didnt want to let her go but i was forced to but she isnt completely gone yet she is at my friends car lot wantin to have body work finished then shes gettin sold hopefully she'll get put to the side and still bbe there when i turn 18 then im goin to try to get her back

and those pics of me muddin with her with the dozer is that i was on private prop which was a construction site but it didnt use to be that

when i was in slidell everybody would go mud ridin back on this lot and i took gertrude there a couple times wit friends go show off plus i had somthing that could finally carry my gokart around so i would take that back there too, anyways there was the certain area where all the jeeps and trucks would go which is where i went but the pics with the dozer is when i went where nobody else had ever gone b4 b/c that used to be a pond but they fill it with unpacked dirt which i didnt know,lol, so being the young ruthless teen i am i went for it, i floored it made it about 75ft out into the mud and each foot the truck would sink further and further but i kept goin thinkin that i was going to get stuck (idk why)

anyways my truck had basically bald mud tires and just sinks in this mud my friends and i tried everything to unstuck it but that wasnt goin to happen so my truck was stuck there for like 4 hrs while we would watch the construction workers drive by in the equipment

at this point i was scared chitless cuz my mom was going to kill me once she found out b/c i was on private property and all the construction workers had to do was call the police but luckily i was polite and begged and lied and prayede for mercy lol but the foreman said they couldnt b/c of liability (cuz they didnt want to break my truck) but i told them do wat u have to do so he drives his dozer on this poorly pack land(and also rained for 2 days the day b4)

so the dozer tries pullin me out but just diggs itself into the mud so his worker grabs the excavator and gets the dozer unstuck(thank god) then moves to the drivers side of gertrude,hooks the chain to my bumper i put it in 4wd and throw it into reverse and gave it hell and he is going to whip me around so i end up facing where i entered the mud,i back up out of the mud thank the workers and promise to never go back onto the lot which i didnt and i moved the following week up to indiana gertrude(being built ford tough) suffered no damage at all which im so proud of and will never do that to her again until shes built up for that

i look back on that now and laugh b/c of how lucky i got i could have had a tow truck come out for how knows how much(arm and a leg) then fined by police for trespassing then have gertude impounded then have gertrude taken away from my mom BUT the construction workers were cool pulled me out and i headed to the car wash, and mommy never found out lol i thank the lord for what happen that day compared to what could have happend

new wpics of gertrude b4 i moved back to indiana and got rid of her
