Snow Fun

[rain76king]

Got the call at 6AM to stay home this morning. What does that mean? SNOW FUN!
Truck amazes me with how well it does, Didn't need to shovel, just powered over the snowbank.
Lot's of fun today, pulled a stuck plow truck that slipped off the road and down a embankment.

Then I decided to try and power through a 4 foot snowbank....FAIL!

I got out about 2 hours later after snapping my tree saver, Winchline and an hours worth of shoveling.
It was still fun!

It's possible, he certainly took control of Chips 40 while we were all breaking stuff.

80's don't exactly float over snowbanks...they sorta titanic through them.......

Looks like fun always love pulling other trucks out of stuck situations. When I first got my Tacoma I pulled a car out of a ditch on I195.

I pulled my buddy's nephew Jeep out of the mud last year.

It was. January edition covering Olde North State Cruisers' signature event -- Spring Tide Ride on the OBX. Pretty cool the editor jumped in and rode along unannounced and then did a great job covering the event and club.

yes I did. But it's just a toy and something for me to tool around in.

It always starts like this. He's in denial.

 

[rain76king]

He's in denial.

Agreed!

We'll have to see. The 40 is basically a go kart on steroids. Wrenching on the simplicity of it's design will be a nice break from the more advanced platforms I've been working on. No reason to ruin that.

The simple platform is the reason why I enjoy working on my 60 so much. With the 2F and H55, the 60 is virtually the same truck as the 40 but with a larger body.

Stupid simple mechanics are a nice break from working on computers all day.

Rick I have a sawzall in the back of my truck itching to simplify your 80.
