You know you're an Explorerholic when a good portion of your Christmas list is parts for your Ex, or tools to work on your Ex.

...what about if you say hello to your truck when walking a trash bag out to the can?


...what about if you then say goodnight to it when walking back in from the trashcan?

You know you are an Explorerholic when...

...You see a post saying, "This is what I want my X to look like", or one that says "Who's X is this?", or they describe how they want to set up their truck, and you send them a link to whose truck is already built like that..

...get a phone call at 9:30pm from the youth group pasture that your son had an accident on a trampoline during the field trip and you wonder how your still going to make the snow wheelin trip scheduled for the next day.

Needless to say, I didn't make the offroad trip.

When you see destroyed Explorers used in movies, and wonder what is still good in the truck, what you could use off of it. And you have a list of members who could potentially use the stuff you don't need.

Holy Crap! I hope your son is alright. That's looks like a nasty one.
