Cant drive the ranger due to not having a front shaft (v8 swap) so I wanted to share these pics!

I don't count birthday's anymore...just happy to be looking down at the ground instead of looking up
WOW...
When you all buy a home up there, one of these should come as standard equipment in the garage...
Or maybe the bolt ons for your Ranger...

I'm perfectly happy to not have gotten anything like that yet. The snowblowers sitting in the shed, idle is perfectly fine with me.

I wish I could afford tracks for my ranger! Instead I have a Polaris ace on tracks that does just fine. I love the snow and getting to play in it is a blast!

Not quite:



I had a sneaking suspicion this ice crap wasn't going away before our next projected "winter event" at the end of the week so after I knocked out the berm at the end of the driveway from the county plowing our road, a drift by the loading chute and terrorized snow hard enough to walk on where my wife parks I threw the chains on. Its no mercy from here on out.

If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
When your too lazy to go out and dig it out because there is just to much snow... Umm yea there is a Ranger under all that. Getting to them most times is half the battle this time a year

Reminds me of 77 up there in SD. I said I'd never gripe about the summer heat again. Even in 2011 when we had daily temps from 105-115 (105-110 seemed like "cool" days) I never let out a blurp
