I will the next time I get up that way and have some free time.....

Haven't heard of Bartley's -- my favorite DFW area BBQ so far has been a place called Railhead over in Fort Worth.....

Saw my first XL variant of the 2015 F-150 this week on my drive up to Dallas. It was a white short box Scab with painted bumpers and the first thing I thought when I saw coming in the rear view and then go by was, "Damn that thing looks like a Ram from behind"........

Let's start over......

I passed one on 45 last Wed. Had a bull bar and an electric company sign on it. I had to study it to make sure it was not a Tundra. Similar front and rear. The body is not puffed up like a Tundra. It's like a NE Patriot Tundra. Deflated.

You're probably right.....

New Rangers were few and far between when I bought mine back in 2009 -- I ended up having to head over to Louisiana to get one set up the way I wanted and I was lucky to find it. If supply had been more plentiful I might have been more picky about color and held out for Grabber Orange or Redfire Metallic.

can't say I'm a fan myself.....redfire is nice though

it seems like the most common color for newer rangers was blue.

Have a good 4th, everyone.....

After the way I have been working, what I'd really like to do is just drop out of sight today, but the wife has me slated to be the "grill master" for a get together of family and friends!

If I had my choice, I'd tell the wife and boy to head to grandma's without me and I would stay home, detail the engine bay of my Ranger, and then go grab a plate of some good Texas brisket at a local BBQ joint! But that would go over like "turds in the punch bowl" so it's off to grandma's I go.....

Down here in Texas it isn't the fireworks we worry about -- it's the crazy Mexican's who decide to shoot their guns straight up in the air with no regard for where the bullets come down......
