With my BIL managing the farm we have made less than $3k profit per year over the last 6 years. When I managed it from 300 miles away it makes $15-28K for each of us. My BIL is a great insurance sells man but gets taken at least once a year by some jerkwad who wants credit. When I am running it you can take your credit elsewhere as Cash is King. I have the Ranger because of giving a dairy a 60 day credit. I would have rather had the cash or a truck I could put to work in a roll other than a parts chaser or equipment mover.

On Topic: I got the bed off during my lunch brake. The last bolt I had to weld the Torx socket to the bolt as it had twisted the splines on the socket. A cheater pipe on the 1/2" drive had that rusty POS screaming as I twisted it out. New bed bolts to the tune of $60ish are on the way as are two new shocks. I figure while I am there I might as well replace them as it is easy with the bed off. The O'Reilly's chineasium fuel pump had a lifetime warrantee but it only lasted about 40K miles. I don't want to do this again or pass this problem to somebody else.

With the bed off I am seriously considering and outdoor Harbor Freight paint-gun paint job in the driveway. My entire left side is pealing clear coat. I have peals on the hood. I have a 30' paint job as it looks like crap when you get close to it. I have never liked silver and I believe I could take a couple of shades darker and it would stand out. Things to think about.
