The Truck NSV

I have a 2006 Ford Ranger 2 Door Pick up... Not a fancy any thing at all ...

Well when I first bought it I was pretty big for it and I got bigger... and bigger...

Seat was pushed all the way to the back, my thighs rubbed up against the steering wheel and my trucks suspension eventually got damaged enough from all the one sided weight (had a kid 2+ years ago no daily passenger in the last 2+ years) so it had the "Fat driver" lean that small trucks and cars can get... I also went through tires like crazy

I am proud to say that...

The tires wear normally now
The lean is all but gone
I can sit in my truck and put my work bag or camera bag or whatever large item between me and the steering wheel.
Had to adjust my seat to go forward and had adjust the seat belt...

I also dont look like a "fat guy in a little truck" anymore... I always use to fill that thing up so much. When I get out it barely moves...

To top it all off... I dont sweat washing the thing anymore...

    That is awesome! I've lost less than a third of what you've lost, and it already seems like someone has stretched out my Toyota Corolla. There suddenly seems to be what appears to a wide open space between the steering wheel and my gut. I can't wait to see what it's like when I get to my goal weight.
  • Woo hoo!! Congrats that is awesome!!
