Glad your able to put up your flag, beware it becomes a lightning rod. Need to put in a ground wire to the ground incase it does get struck by lightning? Also large propane tank near the pole not a good idea,just saying

You can also put up another post where the gate opens to and put another latch there but backwards. That way you don't need that rock there and you can even lock it open if you wanted to (not sure why you would need to). But it would also look cleaner. 🐾🐾

Think about adding a chain link fence and razor wire that way you can really keep unwanted guests out. I caution you on any Explorer Sport Trac - the bed shackles Crack and you won't be able to haul anything. What Sean didn't tell you is those motors run forever with proper maintenance. I've had 4 of the late 90's and early 00's Explorer's - 300k easily if you do the scheduled maintenance. Team Diana on the olives - don't knock it until you try it Eric.

It is valve slap it happens when cars get old if it goes away when warm or on gass that is what it is. Just like your tracker. The valves tap the spring and it makes a tick. If it was a timing you would have diffrent symptoms. Do you really think that it is the timing is the prolbem on the tracker and the truck. If you want no ticking your gonna need low mile vechele. I'd look into a new mechanic.. take an odb with you and do your own diagnosis before you buy something and not take someone's opinion without them even being their physically.

Consider a Chevy Trailblazer or the pickup version of it. I bought a 2008 4X4 V8 ($3000) five years ago with 180k miles on it. It has 226k on it now, still going strong, zero issues. Other than maintenance, tires hoses, belts, fluids...which I always do on a used vehicle. I've only put an OXY Sensor on it. That's been my only repair. Best used vehicle I've ever owned. I only buy American.

You actually can tow a pickup. There just are few available that flat tow. Some Dodge Rams are towable but they may be too heavy. Some old Ford Rangers can also be flat towable. Ask your friend Paul to look for a small truck for you. Unfortunately Toyotas, Nissans, and Honda trucks cannot be flat towed. However, a small truck will give you the utility without the truck size. You will probably still need to find a small tow vechile though.
