Gettin some in the snow last week.

Thought I had an idler pulley going (bearing noise) a few days earlier. Turned out to be my PS pump, which quit while I was out playing. Lifetime warranty ftw...

I beat on it pretty hard and no broken CV axles though. Getting rid of some lift seems to have worked.

Since December 22, we've received 32.4" of snow in Syracuse, NY. This was last Thursday morning, we got 14" that night where I live about 25 mins north of the city in the lake effect snow belt.

Didn't even use the 4wd to get around to school that morning.

Really? Seeing these pictures makes me glad I live in Florida. I think the coldest it ever got this winter was 42... And I complained about it, too.

Sure, you say that now but the next time you want to wheel you will be complaining you wish you were back out west! :wallbash:

Mall crawlin at the last GMTN meet in Tulalip, WA.

The owner of that Chevy truck in the background was like "I have as much ground clearance as you do! I can do that," and then proceeded to try. A minute or so of tires spinning and general failing later, he discovered why lockers are a good idea.

Then casino security came...


Why does everyone behind you have their hood up? Just curious

It was a non-offroad meet. There was a lot of engine bling there.

I of course show up in an unwashed truck with ladders on top.
