I used mine most of the weekend for moving axles/parts into the backyard shed until Matt came over with his super-duper, hydraulic bale-spike flatbed pickup. Took all the grunt work out of the heavy stuff

Then I proceeded to leave my 2WD truck sitting in the backyard and let 5 inches or so of snow dump on it and the backyard. Chugged right out of the backyard with 1/2 bald A/T's with little drama! I like it, I think it's a keeper

 

I got the Rubi out on the snow last night, short wheel base and super swampers, it does 360's real nice in the middle of the street. However I could launch from a stop sign like nobody's business! While other people would sit there and spin. I just couldn't stop once I got going, or steer. But that is not important anyhow.

 

I had a blast last night in the church parking lot-- then a little use this morning pulling the van out of my driveway. I also climbed a little snow pile in the alco parking lot with the front tires then backed down :-)

 

My '79 has been down at Dad's place for a year and a half. He took it into town last week to get the oil changed.....and parted with about $670. Oil change, heater hoses, replumbed one or both (he wasn't sure) fuel tanks. Still needs brake work, he stopped there for now. I think I turned as green as the truck when he told me.

 

OH WOW!!!!!

 

Drove Herr Diesel to work the last two day. Nice having the instant 4x4.

 

does it have any problems starting in the cold mornings? (just curious)

 

I've got the block heater on a timer that kicks on at about 5:30 am, so it fires right up. It starts pretty easy down into the 20's without the heater. I switched to synthetic oil this Fall and that helped a bunch with starting.

 

Other than driving my B2 to work, I did nothing to it. I DID however, spot an EB sitting in a field today...Last summer the guy was driving it, now it`s joined the "collection" of vehicles in the back 40. Drooooooolll...

 

Well I'm going to drive my truck out to my uncle's and start work on the curtis ******** wagon as soon as I get the the motovation.

 

Woo HOOOO!!!! Thanks Clint!!!

 

Well I found the engine and most of the stuff off of it. But I let the exuast and driveshaft for curtis.

 

Drove my B2 home is the nasty snow. BFG A/T KOs just eat up the snow..

 

Put in my long-distance drivin', in-dash DVD player in my truck

Now to get the Alpine 4-channel amp hooked up to my new Kicker front speakers, power output on the head-unit is a little low

Then I gotta buy a 10" low-profile Kicker sub to complete the system, but that will probably be later on in the summer.

 

Got Big Red started tonight cause the Topaz has died hoping it's a simple fix.
