Dent's in the snow

Other than the axle clearance, ya gotta love the ground clearance for the deep snow. This dodge needed a little more this morning, he wasnt laughing at my jokes while he was hooking it up so i could yank him out with my old beater. I wanted to get a pic with my truck hooked to it but there were other trucks waiting to get by,by the time i got him out.

The reason new Dodge trucks are equipped with nice interiors is so that owners remain comfortable while waiting to be yanked out by a Dentside.

Wish you could've snapped a pic Bud.....


Here are a few from 4 yrs ago: 24-26" plus drifts

At the time, the truck had a 3" body lift and 37" BFG's.





Had to run out to my buddy's property and grab his generator for him...of course he had it on the backside of his 40 acres...i was glad to not get stuck way back there. Would've been tough to get out. (guy on the right is about 6'2" to give a frame of reference for how deep the snow is)




Not sure this one counts...but it is a dent in the snow.

Some old pictures I dug up of the 77 and 78 Fords. And old red with 7 1/2" on the hood, way before the body and paint job.

And the Bronco of course, yes its not a "dent", but its a Ford and it had a dent in the fender, does that count?

I heard the 2015 Chevy and Dodge trucks are coming with a standard heated tailgate. So when the owners have to push them their hands don't get cold.

Yes they do but it's not just a tailgate edge heat strip, but the complete inside tailgate panel. That way there "back pockets" stay warm when setting on the tailgate waiting on the roll back. LMAO

Cool pictures! The winter and deep snow is probably my favorite type of "4wheelin" if, and when I get to go. Here's a few of mine.

Lucky you, Im in southern New Brunswick, We've gotten 2 feet in the past week. It's a blizzard out there now. What was usually a 40 minute drive home turned into over 2 hours. Complete white-out.
