    Default In the snow

    We had probably 3 wet inches of snow when I took this, parked in my neighbor's driveway:



    Running XL tires that I had siped. I noticed in the prints in the snow that I could see the sipe lines. The lugs cleaned out very well. Had it in 4WD most of the time. I was spinning the rears a lot in 2WD, but it motored on without a hitch in 4WD. I really need to get that heater put in and get the defrosters hooked up!

    I think these trucks look awesome in the snow! Anyone else with snow pics to post?

    Tim, get one of those mulitfuel heaters Sermis has. Then you and Al can both have instant heat. Plus, you can pipe the heat into a tent or something if you ever found yourself camping out in too extreme weather.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    6.2 powered M715, 5 M1009's, M416, 2 M101's, 2 M105's, 3 M35's, M1007 6.5 turbo Suburban project called Cowdog.

    We had 5" here Tim. No truck shots in the snow though. That thing probably will never see snow. It looks like a truck now though.
