Snow pile wheelin at the home depot

Just fixed a power steering hose and took the truck out to home depot. Got the truck a little stuck then i realized it slipped out of 4x4. I was hoping for some better pics but most of them came out blurry except for these.

Thanks. The tires are 40" Gumbo Mudders, hopefully I can get the truck in some real paint this winter.

My old 75 used to slip out of 4x4 all the time. I had a divorced 203 transfer case.... there are some spring loaded pins that hold the shift linkage in place that were gummed up and if i goosed it at all it'd pop out. I gave it a good clean and a hefty coat of wd40 and it worked fine.......
Sweet truck man! I love snow.... grew up in So Cal and i never got to see it so when I was in school in utah I took every advantage of getting my truck out in the cold stuff1

I'm hoping to get some work done on mine over the winter. One last question how much lift do you have?

I have the 4" superduty springs in the front and a chevy hanger/ shackle flip in the back. Overall it looks like 8" to 10" of lift. The 4" springs deffinitely gave me more than 4". My transfer case is an NP203 with the conversion kit but the chain is slipping also and making that clunking sound. I have a 205 ready to be swapped in when I find the time, Im gonna have to check those pins though!. As for paint I'd like either silver, dark jade, orange or some turquoise color........not really sure yet.
