Not bad..but despite everyone else sliding off the roads, going onto ditches, doing 360's, I haven't had a single problem all winter (driving around that is)

My truck is the ice conquering machine.

You'd be amazed where you can get if you know how to drive...regardless of the chassis. My Pavement Princess can hold her own as long as you keep off the skinny pedal.

That just might be the case Pat. It does help to have good tools...and its not about the going, its all about the stopping.

Funny you bring up a yota pickup and that yours went anywhere.

My uncle has a couple of old really rusted out nissan? toyota? datsun? pick ups that are 4 wheel drive, and I was considering getting one, taking the body off, and making some sorta "dune buggy" type deal that would be for 4 wheel driving, but I wasnt sure how they would 4 wheel drive.

Yep it's me! Just thought I would stop by and see who still played in this little corner of the play ground. It's nice to see some familiar names!

yeah, depending on how old it is, they are good little machines. I ran mine to death, sold it..had like 200k on the ticker, and its still running. Saw it around not too long ago.
