Hey guys! TGIF!

Tonight is the last night of the regular season for both football and soccer. It's also senior night for soccer. We will be at both games, but it will be a long night! It's in the mid 30s at the moment. We are going to be cold!

 

It's supposed to be cold up there in cheese and beer country!!

 

Pulling out last Saturday morning!

 

Bit of a funny thread over on the Nissan Titan forum. It's a case of just because you can doesn't mean you should.

JIm I think Xelanetloads is really gonna do it, what a 'tard,

I was looking at a 2015 Titan Pro for the winter up here, what'cha think

 

My Titan was a great truck. The transmission wasn't up to towing heavy in the mountains after a few years of having no issues.

 

OK thx Jim, I wont be towing with it but I will be plowing snow

 

I know of a few guys using a Titan as a plow. Check the aftermarket for support before you go down that rabbit hole.

 

I like the 2015 body style more than the new ones

 

Yeah, Nissan really messed up the looks of the Titan.

 

You did some typing mistakes....... But I fixed it for you.....

 

Back from 4 days gathering cows. It really dumped on us here in Utah this week.
Of course when I went to bed, it was raining. I woke up to a foot of snow and wondering how I was going to get that trailer up the road.

Well I didn't Spun out on a 7% grade, was walking sidewise, So I stopped and back up bit. trying to get to get to one side or other of the road in case somebody needed to get by.
Spent the next two hours shoveling a path in front of the truck, So I get out of the center of the road and over the edge, So somebody could get by. One rancher came up, All chained up and roaring in his dodge dually. Went right by and found my friends up on top. They brought their 2015 F-350 back down after dropping their trailer and horses. We unloaded the horses and my buddy started riding them up the road. We unhooked my trailer and the other F-350 ( with chains) backed under. With the stretch of road I had shoveled, I was able to get rolling and drove to the summit and another 2 switchbacks up, He brought my trailer up just fine with his chains. Guess I need to buy some chains



After that, we had a beautiful day chasing cows off the mountain. Didn't take much to get them moving downhill. Just push them out of the trees and get them moving downhill and they were happy to go.




We all got pretty sunburnt from all the sun reflecting off the snow.
Thursday it snowed again and was off and on thru the day. We had periods where we shed layers and an hour or so where we all wished we had more layers.



We were almost at 10,000 foot, So the clouds were rolling in under us.



I don't think my truck or trailer have ever been this dirty. Down in the 7000 foot elevation band, The roads were slimy mud. I've even got mud on my sunroof. I was throwing it everywhere, I'll be visiting the car wash in the dark to wash that much mud off with out the owners giving me heck for plugging up their filters and making a mess of their car wash.

All in all Great fun. It's what we own trucks for,

 

Thanks for the post and pictures Jon.........

I am not really ready for winter yet........
