    Cut four rounds, roll em in the back, climb in and position them at the front just behind the front seats. Cut three more, push em in, then climb in and pick the heavy rounds up while on your knees and put em on top of the first four. Then repeat the process for the second row. Third can at least be loaded from the ground.

    Loading splits takes WAY more time and way more trips into the back to stack them.

    In America the manual transmission is considered an anti- theft device.
    I have had one car and three trucks with manual transmissions and I miss those days dearly. My Allison mated to a Duramax is great but I miss stick shift trucks.

    lately, I've been thinking, it's funny just how many people I hear say they'd rather a manual. Yet they hardly sold when they were available. Don't know what you got till its gone maybe? :confused:


    :rofl: :lol: that bronc is cool.

    I've owned more manuals than autos. My T100 is my only manual now and I'd rather have an auto in a pickup. My truck gets used mostly for hauling stuff and towing my boat. I hate having a manual at boat ramps because I have to turn the truck off when I get out to launch and retrieve the boat. I also feel like I'm abusing the clutch pulling the boat out at steep ramps.

    It has a coil sprung Dana 60 out of an 07 F-350 and matching rear axle. Engine came from a donor I had kicking around. Got bored and decided I wanted a diesel Bronco. Almost everything was plug and play.

    I have some pictures posted on here somewhere. I don't have any on this phone. I'll post em up later.

    Yes! I just seen on the local news recently where someone left their keys in the car when they went to pay for their gas...some kid comes running down the street and jumps in the car...bumbles around for 10-15 seconds then jumps out and runs back where he come from...all caught on surveillance camera...he couldn't get the car to start...I'm sure he just didn't have the clutch pedal pushed down. :rofl: :lol:

    A little bit of cherry with some hidden mulberry, and a rock for good measure

    If the truck is 4wd use 4 low, even if it is an auto.

    2nd load.

    And there were a few pieces that would not fit in my trailer or the back of the HiLux so

    [​IMG]

    Instead of leaving them behind he put them on the back seat!
