[AT] Belarus 822

[Cecil Bearden]

I have a ranger 4x4 that I put a winch and a flat bed with a tailgate 
lift on the back that I use for a utility truck.  When I bought it it 
had a hole in the windshield from a tree and a coon had built a next in 
the cab.  I had 3/8 inch stall mats then and replaced the entire floor 
mat and rear cab liner with one.  It has a lot of self drilling screws 
in it to make the mat conform, but it can be cleaned out quickly.  I am 
getting ready to make it a service rig around the farm.
