Its been awhile, like 6 years... so today I threw the kid in the truck and we terrorized some snow drifts in my field.
Snow wheeling with a manual... takes some getting used to. But otherwise it is a tank, much better than it used to be. Probably a combo of trading the old mud tires for snow rated AT's and the topper/spare tire for ballast. We were taking snow over the hood and it just stayed right there, I was very happy.
It is amusing how snow doesn't pack in the grille like it does with the Bronco and my F-150, also the wheels don't fill solid as easy either.

I am going to try to take some material out of it so it doesn't look so massive...Doesn't the rudder go on the stern, Cap'n?
Yeah, I discovered that too... it is tacked now lol.I used a turnbuckle for the parking brake adjuster on my Explorer and found that pushing the pedal down creates enough force to spread open the eye bolts on the turnbuckle - if you have those on yours it might not hurt to tack weld the eye bolts shut.
You got awful young looking all of a sudden... What's your secret?Part of the parking brake cable system broke and I have been trying to recreate that with a turnbuckle, I did get them reset and working yesterday.
Perfect!
Noticed I had something dripping up front since it was sitting on cement for the first time in forever, I think it was the upper radiator hose seeping. I snugged it up and it was far from tight, hopefully that is it.
Substantial progress has been slow for multiple reasons... but I did wash the pig for the first time this year. The mud was getting pretty thick on it...
