Wow, I imagine the turn at the top was tricky
Yep, snow was about 10" and it was a questionable winch fest by ourselves. I had Tracey and the kiddos for support lol

It's not a very long trail, but it's super fun.
The real challenge would be to run it the other way and tackle the big long hill going up. That would need lockers and a hot dry day
I did it in the winter with the Xterra and open diffs lol

I took a flat head screw driver and bent the contacts in towards themselves - shoved the bulb back in and it was perfect all evening!
Something I do on bulb sockets on all my vehicles , is plug the socket full of dielectric grease, then stick the bulb into it, iv had to change alot of burnt out bulb sockets and pigtails, but never one iv " treated " to the grease , I think it helps cool the socket and wire contacts and prevents any corrosion too due to trapped moisture.

The lights on the back of the truck, iv been having some issues with them burning out, probably due to vibrations, the last filiment bulb I put in only lasted an hr and it was a grote 2.5" round marker lamp, so led markers in and no problems, now onto taillights, the taillights are just universal truck lights, similar to the old taillights on a YJ jeep, and take 1157 bulb and 1156 for reverse light. Princess auto has led 1157 led bulbs, and 1156 , so I took a chance on them,
Wow! On the 1157, I went with the princess auto line and chose the red 1157 led and put it behind the red lens of the taillight, awesome! Nice bright and clear glow, daytime or night time. Signal/Brake is excellent too
The 1156 PA brand Led bulb for the reverse lights SUCK! Just barely a glow, won't shine, put the 1156 filiment bulbs back in.
Only negitive I see with the led bulbs is the lack of heat generated to keep the snow clear on the taillights, so periodically cleaning the snow off is nessary

And the Ranger:
The previous update from the body shop was that it would be ready yesterday. So I called, before showing up, as they direct...
It just needed to go through final inspection. I am supposed to check with them again Monday morning.
Having said that, they also said there is a trim part on backorder. But it doesn't affect driving and they will contact me to bring it back in when thy have the part.
So here's fingers crossed!
Hope it's good for you, it's been in there a while now

lol I love the **** you bring home ... one of these days I might get you to help me find some cool old junk.
Yep, some neat stuff out there, but it's starting to disappear, with scrap prices up, and people hungry , it's getting harder to find unique(cool) older iron, that is still good. I managed to find a parts chassis with intact axle shafts that will work in the blue Chevy and brought it home too,

Just curious about what everyone is plowing the snow with, iv had a few different plows over the last few years since iv been back in ns, a F150 with a very broken front Frame, transfered that plow to the red/white ford, and plowed with that untill the SAS, and since that has been gone iv used my 4 wheeler heavily doing my driveway, mom's driveway and even cleaned out toms once or twice with it.
Thus year I'm a little bit behind getting at the plow rig, it needs axle shafts , as they are broken and missing, it's a M37 chassis, with small block Chevy and 4 speed

Had to replace the battery (200k Km’s and 6 years old), new wipers front and back, new rear brakes. And had the winter tires on before the snow squall yesterday...
(Accessing the battery is another story, it's not an '84 Full Size!)
Is that battery one that is tucked up under the cowl? Lights look good, it's the little things that make the difference

Looks really good on the road! You said you could take two rigs with this? On the deck and on a lift?
Here is two on the hook, not a car but still on the wheel lift, the full side on pic makes the trailer look nose high, but it's just the crown of a small hill, once on flat ground it was level

Towing

GOING OFF ROAD! Here is an Update on the towing, and looking at expanding the business. Towing has been going well, thanks everyone for the referrals, much appreciated. Iv had several calls now for off road recoverys, some iv had to turn down due to lack of equipment. Well , not any more.
Now for the off road Recovery build. Iv just ordered a s#!t ton of new parts, including a grizzly locker for Dana 60. I sold my go fast adrenaline rush to fund this build to add to my dream. Starting with just a bare frame sitting on dirt and blocks. More to come . .. Stay tuned......
