Tim the truk looks great. I definitely want your old rims still. Just PM me so we can set up a time/date.

Other news....I wrecked my truck this morning on my way into work. Had the baby with me too. My fault completely. I was trying to quite the baby down by giving her a pacifyer, the truck drifted to the right a bit and caught the snow build up, which pulled me in. I turned the wheel to get back on road and the left tires caught dry pavement it turned me a hard left. Next thing I know I'm fish tailing all over the road, luckily no one else was around. I ended up doing a 180 and going tailgate first into the trees, missing a guard rail by about a foot. Wrecked the right hand side pretty good and the passenger windows blew up, sent glass all over Reilly. She didn't even squeek during that whole event. I was about a half mile from the house too. Got help from a passing friend to pull myself out, called Gieco and took it down to the auto body shop. Enterprise brought me new Impala sport around in.

Broke the Jeep tonight on a winch out......

Do you think I can squeeze 36's TSL Swampers on my Dodge stock height for the weekend?

ramsport59: 36's would not fit more than likely. I know 35's will fit , but will rub on the turns. I need leveling kit to put them on my truck.

We tried to keep up with the snow at the door we use. I just woke up to throw a log on the fire and can't open the door. LOL

Have to jump off the front deck later and dig out. Looks like a fun day ahead.

Peace

Something in the front diff is making one hell of a racket.... and I ripped open a hole 1x2" in the exhaust where the yoke on the front driveshaft hit it.

Doesn't sound good Rick. Everybody stay safe out there. Stay off the roads and let those emergency crews through. Help out your neighbors if possible and hunker down.

Look at the bright side, is that the side the cab was dented?

I dont need to worry about the 36's....I managed to get the dodge out and she did fine once I broke down the snow drifts.....I'm pretty impressed with those 285 Nitto All Terrains!

So far the snow is winning here. Only part of the driveway cleared, several broken trees, have not used the snow blower in forever so it won't start and I have the 4 wheeler stuck right now.

Came in to eat and headed back out. Have to swap out cold weather gear. I was starting to get a bit wet from the snow.

Good news is the coffee is great.

Be careful out there if you have to go out.

Peace

This is what I was referring to, don't get your panties in a bunch.... I just wanted to remind you of the dangers of driving in the snow, especially with the 2"+ of shush under the snow. Wasn't trying to poke fun, we all know stuff happens.

Everyone should just stay home!!!!!!!!
Rick sorry to hear of the Jeep. I had to get the CJ out to pull out my truck this morning.
Got up at 4 plowed my driveway got stuck twice, then went down to Geiger to plow that lot. Got home at 1pm. Roads just suck, stay home, let the plows do their job!

well i tried to dig out the truck a little and make a run around the coldesack. made it 3/4 of the way and then got stuck. was plowing so much snow with just the front of the truck that i just couldn't push thru it, rocked it a couple of times, dug a little bit out, went forward and then just reversed all the way back to the house. Got to say these new trail grapplers are great in the snow.
