yeah...i do it once it gets like that probably only 3-4 times this winter though because the snow was so relentless that i would wash it and 2-3 days later it would look the same so i just stopped until the snow started to let up some.

I love having the big engine, but mine is on 50hp. And by only, I mean way more than I need. It's great for utility though 😉.
That is a *** load of snow. We haven't had more than a foot at one time and that is enough for me.
Trav, I am SICK of rock salt. I'd rather they just leave the snow on the roads. It keeps more idiots at home instead of f-ing up everyone else's commute. And it reeks havoc on the roads. We are now at the spring crater phase. And it got a lot worse yesterday and today. We got a ton of rain, then it all froze with the melting snow. And now we are due for 3 to 6 more inches of cold cocaine. I'm watching it fall right now...

Makes me glad that we don't use salt. I just have to deal with the road grime which the envoy is covered in now however with plastic bumpers and such I think it will be alright till spring time when I fire up the pressure washer to wash the other trucks including the parts truck.

Luckily around here a good shot with the pressure washer will make everything look new till mom or the brothers go to park the car and they throw mud all over the under carriage again. LOL
We have only driven the 10 3-4 times because of the weather and it is already dirty.
Kinda confused how it is getting dirtier faster then the 02 did and the 02 use to go mudding, hauling, and all that kinda fun all year long (even though I tried to limit it this last year).
That is one thing I am going to miss about my 88 once she is running. How clean it looks when parked! LOL I cleaned it a year ago and it still looks like it did then.

I hate salt, I just ordered an air hammer, airlift 5000 ultimate airbags and some day star airbag cradles fyi lol.
The cradles are made so that the bottom airbag mount does not bolt to the spring but rather sit on top so that when the suspension is under flex the bags will not stretch and potentially rupture. I am hoping to have the old hangers removed by next weekend and the new ones temporarily mounted to eventually be removed for frame painting.

I think we should all just go live with Trav during the winter months... just for truck protection. Working together, we should be able to drain Matt's wallet pretty quick and get his truck done! And have a beer or two along the way.
