I plowed from Monday @9:30PM and finished on Tuesday @7:00PM. 65mph winds, huge waves, flooding, snow drifts over 8ft high, and you couldn't see 10ft in front of you.
I wish we got some of that snow. We haven't gotten more than 4 inches so far this year.
Ya it is 4X4 (I have had 2x4 and didn't like it - check my albums F250 - I live in Minne-snow-ta and need 4x4) Warn locking hubs, I swapped out the auto hubs, they broke the first time I took it out into the back woods. I want to put in limited slip Diffs when I eventually go thru the suspension. Any cheap ideas on what the best one that wont break would be cool.
Search for threads on diffs (there are a lot) rather than filling this pic thread with too much tech talk. But quick answers:
Swapping in a junkyard axle with a factory Trac Lock might be cheapest, but not very effective.
Installing one of the "lunchbox lockers" is very effective and pretty cheap. They aren't bulletproof but they're not too wimpy either.
Higher buck, but tougher (and with different operation, depending on what you want) would be a True Trac, a Detroit or a selectable locker.
And my advice for the front, leave it open (or put a selectable in if you really want something there). Anything else can be spooky when driving on a snowy freeway like we have here (or at least did last year).
That looks great! I like the color keyed grill and the black on the bottom accented by the wheels is very cool. Congrats on a different looking truck that I know turns heads.
