Yeah when I was up in the hills I was heading down and hit a road of solid ice, the truck did a 180 and slid into the ditch, luckily it was about the only spot up there that didn't have a hundred foot drop.
Needless to say, I bought a roll bar and put it in before my next adventure.

It was slick enough that when we dug a hole trying to get up our drivway, we slid backward into the canyon.
Don't tell anyone, but a chebby ended up winching us out.
I can't figure out how to post pics, so they are in the red ford stuck file. And yes the toyota in the background, in typical toyota fashion, is stuck in one of those pics

I acually didn't care that he pulled me out. i was thankful because he was there the next day to help and the only one with a winch. No, chevy made a good truck its just a competition so i had to say that
as far as trucks go, as long as its american, its prolly good

My wheelin partner drives a Chevy K5. I'm not saying that it has anything to do with his driving or his brand, but I seem to pull him out alot more than he pulls me out. I have to admit, its a lesser vehicle. ( Not in the sense that its a chevy, my truck's just built a little bigger. )
I like the 70's and 80's Chevy trucks styles. And I have to admit I love the Chevelle more than any other car out there.
...not that we're talking about Chevy vehicles on a ford off-road forum. Thats ridiculous.
Its kind of bad around here actually. We had the most snow we've had in like 10 years.. and now we have record floods! Lucky us huh?
Not really effecting me much, but a large area 15-20 miles south is flooding really bad. And they just rebuilt from last decembers bad storm. Another national guard/red cross effort will be here soon.
Last year the Guard closed down alot of the area. The interstate was flooded. ( I-5 ) and its doing it again!

Same here in SW washington. The freezing level is up to like 10000 feet and there was about a foot at sea level for a while. And more and more as you went up. Now, all that melted AND we have had like 12" of rain. Way past flood stage. My high school is under water, and they are worried the dike is gunna break. So snow playing for me has seased for awhile so I can help out.

It was slick enough that when we dug a hole trying to get up our drivway, we slid backward into the canyon.
Don't tell anyone, but a chebby ended up winching us out.
I can't figure out how to post pics, so they are in the red ford stuck file. And yes the toyota in the background, in typical toyota fashion, is stuck in one of those pics
