    I've got to make my way up to Shoreview this afternoon. Hopefully this wind dies down and they roads are mostly clear. 4x4 and snow tries FTW

    I actually want stronger winds, need to blow all this snow off the ice. Dragging the ice fishing gear over 12 inches of snow is a pain in the ass.

    I keep reading on TW that the Pros are only good for mall crawling, but it seems to do alright. LOL Wish I had the new tires on it now though!

    Made it out and back no problem. Cars in ditches everywhere. Highway exists and entrances seem to be the worst spots.

    Does anyone have the adjustment spanners for Fox 2.5 shocks you'd be willing to let me use? I think the set I just put on has to much preload and the wrenches are $61 a piece and might be not able to get them in time before we move.

    I have an Icon spanner, if that one works for you, you are welcome to use it. I'm in the metro area.

    I'm not sure if they would work or not. I can't find anything saying they wouldn't. I might take you up on that once I do a little more research on how much preload I should have on there.

    Sounds good, let me know. I'd think it's probably "close enough". If you measure the opening for the spanner on the collar and let me know, I can see if my wrench will fit it.

    Worse comes to worse, could you use a screwdriver and a hammer to spin the spanners?

    Cool thank you! I might take you up on that. I brought it to another shop I know knows off road suspension and they got the alignment dialed in for me. I still think there is to much preload but I might just run it like this for a bit.

    Welcome. This isn't the most active thread but there is some BS to be thrown around.

    Not this time amazingly, only lost a couple smaller ones, neighbors lost some bigger trees we had to cut out of the driveways so they could finish snowblowing. Mother in law has no power and their neighborhood is blocked in by fallen trees though.

    My poor little Ryobi 40v blower has got one hell of a workout this never ending snow season.

    We lost power a couple times for about 10s each last night. Snow blowing wasn’t fun this morning with all the heavy stuff. Heard we might have cracked the top 5 snowiest winters in the cities.

    Love me some winter but I’m ready for some summer at this point.

    I've had my fill of fat biking and xc skiing, time for some heat so I can work on my house and install all my tacoma goodies just sitting in the garage
