Everyone remembers their first time…

A Letter to the Editor: by Tough Mudder

I can resist everything except temptation.
— Oscar Wilde.

“My first time was with my husband. It was not on our wedding night but we did live together prior to being married. It was gentle and something that I do remember because it was a positive experience, and I know that’s not the case for everybody. Then we bought a Pacific Pewter Ridgeline” – Paul

“I lost my virginity at the age of 20 to my then girlfriend and immediately felt like something was not right. It’s not like I did not enjoy it because I did, but I expected it to be amazing or mind blowing and it wasn’t. A year and a half later, I lost my virginity again; this time to my current boyfriend. The feeling that I might be gay or bisexual was in the back of my head because I also found myself attracted to men. My first time with my boyfriend in the back of a Pacific Pewter Ridgeline and it was nerve-racking because he was older, but I trusted him. Everything felt great and I knew that this was how my first time was supposed to feel like.” – Craig

How to Handle Lots of Wood in Your Ridgeline

No Comments on How to Handle Lots of Wood in Your Ridgeline

Plan and prepare

Plan deliveries to match the pace of production – order your timber as longer boards and prepare your Ridgeline for their reception and storage. Remember, size does matter!
And, always ensure that the wood is delivered in a full load. Your Ridgeline has a lot of capacity, so really pack it all in!

Reception and inspection

Inspect the wood before taking it all in.

Packaging: check that it is intact
Quantity: make a rough estimate of the quantity
Dimensions: check that they match the order and the delivery note
Check that the wood is clear of soil and dirt
Moisture content: check a number of pieces with a moisture meter to get an indication that the moisture content isn’t too much to handle at once.

Protect the wood

Check that the “tarpaulin” is intact before covering the pack of wood.
Direct sunlight will quickly dry out the surface. Cracks will form, the wood might become deformed and it could become moister on the side in shade.

The undercarriage of your Ridgeline works hard. Your tracks get beat up with regular use. Dirt build-up, if not cleaned out daily, can cause greater damage over time and affect the durability and performance of your Ridgeline. We wanted to share this video on proper undercarriage inspection and care as a reminder that your undercarriage needs service and maintenance attention, just like the other parts of your equipment, and to give you tips on how to properly inspect these items.
