Brain, he lives in Minnesota. I think he's seen more snow than you have. :facepalm:

:fail: I used to live up North Danny boy in the snow belt!

I dont think that he would be driving a 2wd is he saw that much snow...

He's got a FWD winter beater.

And they see plenty of snow in Minnesote. :uhoh:

Yeah umm about that... did you ever get the car on the road Carl?


And FWD cars where I used to live stayed parked in the driveway till the national guard came in and plowed the roads! I am used to seeing up to 4-5 ft in one night!

Yes I did but there were a ton more problems that popped up when I got the car moving and under it's own power. I think I updated my beater thread.

Yeah I tried using a 2wd truck when I was 17 for like 6 months and after 2 months of driving in the winter after having a 2wd car... That sucked!


The best thing that you can do is practice in the parking lot with the snow and ice... I remember spending hours doing that...

I was able to drive in any snow going the post speedlimit with out a problem never once got stuck... I remember pulling the E-brake going like 45 with like 8 inches on the ground... That was fun...

Things get kinda depressing into the winter months this is just one of those things!
Depressing.... NO WAY! I love winter. :thumbs:

Carl, were you left on the Tilt-a-Whirl too long when you were a kid?? :jester:
I did fall down the stairs when I was 1 1/2 on my little walker thing..... :dunno:
wonder what the whole underside of the truck looks like :eek:

Who cares, nobody can see it on his truck. :D

Actually, I know, I was laying under it a couple weeks ago. :thumbs:
It wasn't that bad :thumbs:

Forgot to ask, do you Fog the engine before you put it up for the winter?

Yep, I have it professionally winterized. Fuel stabilizer, Fog the engine, fill with anti-freeze, change oil, change lower unit lube, pull lower unit and grease/inspect everything. The works!
