WHAT HE WAS MADE FOR

After getting nearly a foot of fresh snow overnight I couldn't take it anymore. Brutus is in his element,

Great pic. I like how forlorn and neglected, all covered in snow the late model rigs look. Screw em'!

I Love My Truck!! Traction wasn't even an issue. I can see with chains on all four this would be a force to be reckoned with!! It's easy to see why ranchers opted for these rigs and why they got heavily used!

Awesome! But I was hoping for a video, so I can see the snow flying off your tires!

Sorry Abe, I don't have that video cuz my camera man ( momma) was busy shoveling snow while I was busy "blazing a path".... however, I do have video from inside the cab. If it's any good I'll post it on you tube and link to it.

Here's the link to a video from inside the cab. As I was just trying to blaze a path in/out of my driveway the video is repetitive and a little longwinded. I had a great time today and I hope you enjoy the video.
