western mass snow fun 12/20

[compleckz]

just got the truck back together after breaking a tab off a skyjacker arm, and cracking/bending the drivers side ttb..

hooked up the front d/s this morning, and filled the diff with fluid--so i decided to break it in right (in my backyard)!

Man...how I wish my truck, and my 4x4 were working now. We have snow. I envy you compleckz.

Looks fun though.

That looks like so much fun! Unfortunately I can't go out and have "fun" in the snow with my truck due to it being my main source of income. I so envy you!

that thing has been broken for about 3 years, a little incident with climbing/falling off a concrete wall at work. it hangs pretty low when it gets full of slush and snow though. its usually not noticeable.

lol, tell me about it.. i was the first person up there on that second trail, so i was breaking trail, plowing up the snow with my diffs.. crossing my fingers, as i just put it back together 4 hrs earlier.

Looks like some fun. Maybe Ill get my POS fixed and we can go play......

dooo ittt, the tunnel is calling!



side note: i just i just realized today, this is my first winter with lockers AND mud tires.. last winter i ran BFG A/Ts, and the two winter's before i had Pro Comp M/Ts, and open diffs.

from that 2nd trail i ran, i already love it, the one bad section, i made almost constant forward progress on the hill, then sunk a bit, i backed up a foot and bumped over the hole--and just made slow but steady progress up the hill. the bff a/ts would have caked up with snow/dirt and dug holes if/when they decided to clean.

also skyjacker nitros > hydros, BY FAR!

this next one is ultra boring.. just playing around in the brook, need to try the loop out with 10psi or so, real slow going, high revving. not fun or worth it, need to go loweeerrr.
