    Touche.
    Actually, when it snows the highway usually looks like this.

    But, everybody's still doing at least 50mph, because it's just snow.

    Realistically my use would be the same. Light wheeling more camping trails etc

    Not when I won't use it.



    Missed a quote asking about equipment. I could try to find some at the local yard, I would have more ease of mind with expos though. Maybe I haven't done enough educational research but currently I'd be worried about having to replace or revamp the OMD springs on a fraction of the time frame I think expos would need attention. Please share your thoughts. Off to work but will read when I can

    I want to have good capability but the chances of me ever going to a place like moab or even a small rock garden are pretty slim.

    I've been leaning towards OME but like i said, i'll be a few years getting to it so there is plenty of time to learn and save.

    Hardest "wheeling" i have done so far has been some pretty mild fire (logging) roads and some mud puddles. :eek:

    Same here. I leave for work around 6:30, and I'm on a dead-end road that doesn't get plowed until either there's a foot of snow or the storm's done. Most of the time when I get home or leave for work in the morning my road hasn't been touched.

    my 5150's matched with the expos are 10" stroke, are you sure thats the lengths they gave you? the expos are rated at around 12" of travel

    though, in stock configuration, 9.1" is probably long enough

    I get up before college and plow
    Last year we had a 14"-15" snow fall in like a 24-36 hour period. I plowed my street, my neighbors driveways and the side streets all with the ATV. The plow trucks didn't touch anywhere but the interstate until the snow stopped...the bastards. :(

    I was ridding around busting trough 22" snow drifts with the truck and plowing for customers (on the bike); people who are too old or have important jobs and need to be able to get out. That was a little fun. I had to thaw my truck out in the garage and dig like 6 shovels worth of snow out of my grill, bumper, and skid plates.

    I typically do my driveway, my neighbor's driveway, and then a single sweep down to the intersection at the bottom of the hill. But not with an ATV.

    Well im pretty sure I landed at least something from my interview monday. I guess there were 2 similar positions available and job option B extended me an offer today, however its certainly not in an ideal location, but it is at minimum 40 hours until school starts. Im hoping the hiring manager from job option A calls me back by the end of the week to confirm or deny the availability of that position, because out of the two I want the one in boise. But hey, at least I have a back up!

    One thing i hate are jobs that dont send some notification that you did not get the job. It is WAY to easy for employers to call or set up an auto email saying "we regret to inform you but you did not receove the posoton" or something.

    Must be nice to have a cabin to be in while plowing :rolleyes:

    I'm out in the elements. Nice thing about it is, the city's "no ATVs on the streets" ordinances and laws don't come into effect when there is inclimate weather....like the crown vics can follow any way. They are too busy helping stranded motorists and fighting crime anyway.

    well the conundrum is option A, they told me they wont be finished with the hiring process untill the end of the week and I would know then. So its not like they didnt call me, they would either way...they just haven't finished yet haha.

    Im just glad they didnt give me an ultimatum, like choose option B now and potentially forfeit option A, or decline and you might not get accepted for A.

    Im pretty sure when the interview process is over for job A, if I do get it i will be able to choose between the two. I think

    But thats beside the point, they can easily send a 'you didnt get thebposotion" email. For a software company i am kinda surprised.
