    We hardly have anything in Jefferson County. Most of the snow melted as it was coming down. There's only 2-3" that actually stuck.

    Regarding disk drops, general consensus seems to be that if you're under 3 inches they really aren't going to make a difference. And if you're over 3 in on IFS, you need to be doing some serious fab work anyway so...

    Granted if your molly crawling or just doing Overland type driving such as Forest service, roads and camping trails and such, a diff drop won't hurt anything. And if you're legit rock crawling well, you're ready to break stuff anyways. So skip the dropped. Don't hit it and replace axes as needed. Lol

    Edit: just get portals.

    Madison got about 7 inches. It'll be waiting when you get home. Hope your snowblower starts. Shit is heavy.

    That was some heavy snow. I did round 1 yesterday and just finished round 2. It's easier doing it twice than killing your once.
    I did kinda hit the rear bumper of the Taco when backing the 4wheeler into the garage. You can hardly see a scratch. You guys know how I like to keep the bumpers in near perfect condition.

    Hi Jim,:wave:
    I didn't mean to send you all that snow, but I believe in sharing my wealth :D.
    Friday should be interesting. I think I'll take a vacation day.

    One of the electricians working at my house showed up in this today.

    Of course I started blabbing about trucks, but he was kind of a quiet kid. Said he's done some wheeling up north. Looks like a fun little rig. Not sure how I feel about the Lexus badge. o_O

    Yeah, looks like winter is coming for real on Friday. I kinda like the temps we've had so far.
