Snowshoe?

 

Hopefully, if plans go as planned, I will be goin to Snowshoe during Christmas break

 

Well i got 1 UCA in and that was it! i messed up one of the shocks so i am going to throw my old stock ones in for the time being untill the new shocks come in. Tomorrow i will get the other UCA in and try and not to mess up the other shock. I am still waiting on the bumpers, skid and u bolt flip so once i get that stuff in i will install the rear leafs. So i am at a stand still till i get the new shocks in.

 

welcome home ryan!!!!!

 

what'd you do to the shock?

the UCAs are a pain the first time you do it. the second one whould go faster now that you know what to do

 

Thank you everyone its really nice to be home. The shock is toast so i started cutting it off and burned through the one saw blade i had so first thing tomorrow i will go out and get one. The UCA wasnt too bad i had to text jason about it since i could figure out how to bend the metal out of the way. I ended up using my tin snips and did alittle trimming so it wasnt that bad. The DSM UCA are very nice and well built. I gotta get more grease for my grease gun also to grease those bad boys up.

 

Ya me and a few buddies drive up there every year and board for a week, hopefully they get lots of snow this winter

 

Would my PreRunner make it up there?

 

I usually go durring the spring when there isn't much snow or ice on the roads and we take a sweet minivan to carry all our stuf. But I've been there during winter too and you should be fine as long as they don't get dumped on while your driving up.

 

Ok. Im still debating on what vehicle to take. Either the Taco(2wd), my moms Explorer(4x4), or the Jeep Liberty(4x4)

 

I would take the explorer just because it has more room, but that's just me

 

I was thinkin about that b/c its got the V8, 4x4, 7 passenger seating, DVD Player, Navigation, its just loaded haha all from factory (2007)

 

just a little snow driving tip. snow isn't like mud, so a v8 won't help out. when you've never driven snow before, a 4 cylender is actually easier because it won't spin the tires as easily. and on snow, as soon as you spin tires, all control you had goes out the window. this includes aceleration/traction.
the room of the explorer and the other gadgets it has does sound nice though

like what will said, you shouldn't have to worry abotu the roads unless they get a big storm while you're there. and even then, they tend to clear them reasonably fast.
