I'm on call and have to be in to work at 6am because we are suppose to get some ice tonight. I'd rather have snow.

Ice certainly does suck. last time I had ice my passenger side got dented, and the jeep I hit got written off.

I ran my truck across the scale tonight. Turns out with a little over half a tank, loaded snap-on road box, no spare tire, or rear bumper she weighs 6437lb, and has a 64.7% front bias, 35.3% rear bias.

Andy, you guys be careful out there! I saw on the news it was really bad, they showed a 10 wheeler plow truck go shooting thru a guard rail and down out of sight. Everybody in the Midwest dealing with that stay safe!

everything above ground got a good coating but the day before it started it was 65* so the ground was to warm for it to freeze, still lots of trees paid for it.


did I say I hate winter, ......I wouldn't hate it so bad if it was sunny and 65* and daylight past 5:30 :lol: :lol:

Ice sucks donkey member...

I cant decide what I want. CC dually or reg cab dually. Gonna get air-ride, G56, and 6.7L. VE or CR is another question.

Why? Ultimate tow rig. For the Audi I am building. Maybe lay waste to unsuspecting highway cruisers.

caleb, I been accumulating parts to put ve 6bt in my 1950 t, trying to find a reasonably priced 3speed unit , mine just had the under and direct. I talked to Brad at maibach when ordering the special flywheel and pto drive piece, he told me the rotary pumps are superior to the inline for tractor usage. Something to do with the governor.
93 w250 6 speed 4" exhaust, caution, work truck, she's no beauty. building 1 ton dually 4x4, dana 80, 48rh, 205 Scratch the one ton, bought frt. dually 4x4 98 12 valve with the tiny rear doors. rides so much better than the 93.

Nick, that's the affordable shade of green. I've been on the hunt for a 4020 for a few months and I can't justify giving $10k for something that has bald tires, junk tin, and 10,000 hours just because it says 4-0-2-0 on the side.

Ducati, most of my Snapchat stuff is farm related, or trucks, or guns. The occasional Miller Lite fueled shenanigans show up sometimes too. :lol:



Oh I hear you... Those things bring stupid money.. especially for their age. I give you a hard time but I almost bought an orange one a few months ago :shock: But I pulled myself away from it... HAHA

Tom, these parts came from Brad. He'll buy the original engine too.

Nick, the guy I work with picked up a 140hp air cooled Duetz/Allis. It's an odd bird, but the A/C is cold and it cost less than a third of a green one. We run about everything under the sun.

Dar, the bed is holding up great. I finally painted the ole truck, its in deep water blue pearl, looks pretty darn nice.

Pete, We haven't spent a winter there yet. We picked up a cabin about an hour west of Colorado Springs about three years ago and have been lucky to rent it every winter. Got to love it when other folks pay the bills!
