From Rear Ended to Engaged… Now We’re Fixing His Truck

Tonight we’ve got the newly engaged couple out here and we’re trying to put TJ’s old Dodge back together after that wreck. New fender (supposed to be paint matched), new headlights, and a little bumper straightening attempt… all done by people who are definitely not body guys. We also took a quick break because the hogs showed up again behind the feedlot, and we are not letting them tear things up around here. Then it was back to wiring, lights, and making it work with what we’ve got. If you like real ranch life, family projects, learning as we go, and a little ranch humor mixed in, you’re in the right place. Thanks for being here. Y’all keep ranching, wrenching, and praying.
