Although not as scenic as Isaac's pics, here's an oldie shot of my unfinished truck pulling my Ranger out of a ditch back in Ohio:

Nice pix Isaac!

Our next one is due Sat/Sun-perhaps another couple of feet, will get some photos if it holds up. In case you wondered, we've gotten around 9 feet so far this winter, and still have trenches for sidewalks....

Wow, more than we got here! I'd be working inside the garage... But this is one of those budget garages that doesn't quite fit an M on tractor tires

Well the snow and ice storm hit the Carolinas Friday soon after I posted I have not got to play in the snow. I got the rig out Saturday and patrolled the neighborhood. Not a lot of folks out other than ATV's and a couple other 4WD trucks. . It felt great to feel that 4WD drive again. The M37 handled great on the snow and ice. It was great to see the expressions on folks faces as we drove by. At one point I had an FJ cruiser in front of me and I though I was going to have to push it up the hill... :mrgreen: Of course the wifes Jeep decided to loose a transmission line in the midst of this. That will be tomorrows project :roll:

Yep, great picture! My truck is still in the garage ,although we got that foot of snow I was expecting. The roads are pretty clear-perhaps later today I'll get it out for a warm-up and some pix....

Glad you enjoyed the pic and I could contribute to the winterfest. Mid 50's here the next few days. Most of the ice and snow melted yesterday.
