Re: Snow Wheeling
Like the truck man. Have you had the plow in much snow yet? Don't you have to throw some weight onto the bed for that? Are those Alcoa's on the rear?

Re: Snow Wheeling
Thanks ! Yes I have to plow a couple of feet of snow . No Alcoa, just stock steel wheels I have had this truck for 10 years in Alaska where I'm from . Don't need a lot of weight back there I just put into 4 wheel drive if it gets slippery . There is a dump bed kit under the flat bed
Here is a link for the rest of the pics of my truck

Re: Snow Wheeling
I wouldn't mind getting some snow this year to play in. Although I don't know how much I'll get to do... The engine is knocking in the highboy and I need to start the body swap soon... Well there is always next year I suppose. I drove the Highboy around the neighborhood this evening and I'm so ready to get this project rolling but man with the holidays and work/school...time is hard to come by. I love the pics though.. super jealous!
I build driveshafts.

Re: Snow Wheeling
That is a sweet truck. I would love to be shacked up in that thing for a long night sitting next to a thermos of coffee moving snow drifts with some loud super twangy country playing. totally jealous.

Re: Snow Wheeling
I'd be much more likely to take my truck out in the snow if they didn't slather the roads here with a nasty salt-chemical mixture that rots out your vehicle from the inside out. Till they quit it with the nasty stuff my Cherokee does snow duty.
