did a little snow wheeling today





i did not take meany pictures but had some fun, some area's were drifted in pretty good making for area's of 13-14 inch snow and not meany people have been out there, added an degree of challenge that made it fun. there was one point i had my truck flexed out all the way and i heard an loud snapping sound like something broke. but couldn't find anything out of place. ill double check my shock mounts and stuff tomorrow.

Alot of times that snap comes from
1: the two fender bolts on the drivers side by the hood hinge, just tighten

2: the skid plate under the tranny. It snaps when torqued.

Probably no problem.
BTW I like those flaps. They look good on there. Never saw them on a SRW thought they would look funny. They look Good!
Also contact 2strokeman you need to get rid of those hubcaps!! He can help you there.

Greay pics and nice bumper also.

well that gives me a few things to look at tomorrow.

i would like to put some different rims on my truck but cant justify the cash

the bumper i thought were stock the rear bumper is an 10 inch drop bumper, i like it becouse my 12k 16kwd rated receiver hitch comes out below it and eliminates the need for an drop hitch on most trailers. the front is a stock bumper with an grill gard i like the mud flaps as well helps keep stone chips and road debris off the trailers that i tow

So you got it started Bronc? Good deal. It's never a good thing to have a diesel that won't pop when its real cold out.

The flaps do look good, but I think it's because you have the drop down bumper. I always wanted to put ones on my old F150 that say "Iowa: The tall corn state."

Looks like the snow is pretty fluffy making the drift busting pretty easy.
