During the Holiday Fire in Goleta, a bulldozer operator working to create a fire line ended up dirt-surfing a bulldozer down a steep slope into a burning area, and then calling in a helicopter water drop directly onto himself. Bulldozer operators are badass.

I always find it amusing that the generation clash is always viewed as being millennials vs baby boomers. Poor old Gen X just gets forgotten, which seems like the most Gen X thing it could really do.

If you can find a road course version, just put an LS or Coyote in it and destroy people at track days.

If he already had one of those, I’d advise him to sell it to a PNW hipster for 25k and buy THREE good farm trucks lol

Exactly. Every farmer I know, and I married into a farm family as well, will tell you this is the right answer. They are damn near bullet proof, can be fixed in the field if needed, and parts are CHEAP!

And they look really good when you start modding them as well:

love the two tone square body 

It’s pretty hard to beat Marty’s SR5.
