Sounds like an epic deal.  I’m guessing someone drove through Indianapolis. I would have wrecked if I would have seen all that in the back of a truck or van while driving. Probably would have followed and tried to get to pullover just to get a better look. You guys were probably busy enough. Probably better I didn’t get to interfere [emoji3][emoji23]

Wowee!  What a trade!  Love seeing all those rare birds inside Stephen!  Also a little sense of pride as I think (correct me if I’m wrong) that the ash pan on your burnt orange ranger is the same one that I made for cwestsmokin! That Westerner is just awesome!

Sorry I am late to this thread guys....this is the other part of the Epic trade between Bear and I.  I ended up trading the Beautiful Westerner I traded Bear to Harris to get a Wooddale Westerner.  I a]had to throw in my Wood Dale DEMO.  It hurt to give that up, but the beast trades always hurt a little.  I also got back a orange ranger that is rough to be used for parts for a Ranger rehab project I'm doing.  It was a great trip, I always love to meet with Joe.  We usually go to Louisville, but the flooding caused us to divert to Cincinnati.  I will get pics for this deal, but I'm going to do a larger post of the pick-ups I have gotten this winter......


As I always say you need a good group of guys to make these deals happen.  That Woodard set started up with @bladz in Wisconsin then it made its way down to me, then it ended up down in Atlanta with Joe.  It's always amazing to see how far these grills go and where they end up.

Awesome networking fellas!!!  I have to disagree on the “good group” comment.  You are underselling it.  This is a “grate group” we are all part of.

You’ve told me, for a couple years now, that some of the best trades hurt a little.  I agree with you on that now. 

What’s this “Ranger project” you speak of?
