How is the snow???

by **PToombs** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 6:37 pm

GFY!

Been looking at the radar weather,huh? :lol:

Not bad here at the house, only got about 3-4 so far. 15 minutes north has been getting pounded for the last few days. Gotta love the lake effect snow!
I'm going to put the plow on tomorrow and make sure it works. Still need to stake the driveway.......
Naaaah. I'll do it later, I work better under pressure at the last minute anyways!

I actually have one truck with the sander in all ready. Last year I had to put one in while it was snowing. I had a trailer ball in the reese hitch and it would not come out. Had to torch the dam thing off to get the sander in. Usually I am last minute. I was out to sea yesterday getting in some lobster traps. It was 18 degrees and blowing about 15. Of course I could not wear gloves while un tying the ropes. So you are not the only one behind. :oops:

here in western ny i have about 15 inches, and I broke the reverse band out of the tranny in my plow truck last year, i'm going to try to get it pulled out over the weekend. good thing the tractor has a bucket on it.

I'm up to about 8-10 inches total now, but it's snowing again. I went out and moved stuff around at my mothers so I could plow there. I did get the 19.5's off the plow and leaning on the shed. Still didn't get the plow on though. :lol:

Eric, (Ekk33) came over, we converted his truck to dual batteries. Ever see 2 group 31's in the original position? :shock:

It's a tight fit, but it's a good job.

Does the CoolerTubz still fit? I have heard that it is real tight.

by **PToombs** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 9:46 am

Oh yeah, they fit, and it's tight! :shock:

I was gonna take pics, but he wants to clean it up and paint it 1st.
I think he's going to write it up when he gets the pics.

Ok that is good to know as some in the frigid North do need to run 2 batteries or just leave their trucks run all of the time.

by **PToombs** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 3:00 pm

Basicly what we did was bolt 2 battery trays together, and lower them about 2 inches. The batteries sit just under the fender lip, turned 90* from stock. The negative posts are just under the edge of the fender.

That is way better than putting one on the other side in the road of the BHAF!

by **PToombs** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 5:58 pm

Yeah. He was going to move the washer bottle, and I said that wasn't the hot ticket, so we worked it out. It looks good too.

It was about 40 here today, settled everything. I cleaned the garage and put the truck in to install the air system, and it was raining when I got done. Supposed to change to snow, and do that for the rest of the week.
