New England B.S. Thread

Until a snowflake falls and every salting truck and plow from here to Timbuktu are dispatched and coat every square inch of roadway just to be safe.

Not to mention on highways when you get marble sized clumps getting flung from tires at your front end.

 

Dammit i wish i brought my sliders with me! Im staying with my GF, she is housesitting in a sick house. They have a huge heated 3 car garage. Mod day day tomorrow in lyme CT

 

Just came back in from first clean up. There was atleast 6" already and by the time I cleaned the deck off and then snow blowed the drive, walk, and sidewalk the deck had another 1" anyway. I went and did the nieghbors drive and the end where the plow came by, their kids are grown and gone last one just grad college

 

USPS tracking shows my antenna mount is still in MD, even though the Post office received it the 5th

 

USPS tracking doesn't update like UPS or FedEx tracking. It could be on the move and the tracking hasn't been updated.

 

It can't be delivered. I had the tow shackle that was gonna be delivered today but the tracking number said It was returned to the ups warehouse cause no one can drive. Guess ill have to wait till Monday now.

 

Lights are flickering now. The wind is really picking up now also

 

Grilled fresh made burgers on the Weber tonight...Came out fantastic...Once the grill cooled I cleaned it off with my car snow scraper and covered it quick...Love winter grilling...

 

This STUFF has picked up and the "Boys" are being smart...plowing all the snow down off the drives...then pushing along the main drag...If not they will not have room to STACK when Sunday rolls around...

Dam glad it is not me out there...contractor just lost his Dodge..Plow lites just went out..F@#$%^ going to be a LONG 48-72 hours for these guys..

I did get the "Call"..Snow removal Sunday night,2 towns over BUT we do not start till 10 pm......and with the tri-axles it will be all main drags; sno blower on steroids ...

 

Before I put up the new deck my grill was up there year round always grilling in the winter. Now I leave it down below on the patio cause the deck is composite and I dont want heat bubbles on the railing or grease stains on flooring

 

Just got stuck in a snow bank. Locked the rear dif and pushed thru no problem! This truck is a beast in the snow!

 

I picked up all the stuff for the locker mod so I can have it in 2wheel and 4H also not just 4L

 

Yeah... well... I can have 4wd in 4hi and 4lo

 

Just step on the brakes

 

Nice i would like to do that. Im afraid of messing with the wiring though. I want the abs killswitch also.

 

Oh I already knew . Shit this what I do every time we get big storms . Stay up all night riding my quad .
I took a gopro vid ill upload it now .

 

The locker is a single wire, that some have run through a switch to eliminate accidental lock up, grounded to simulate 4L. I will put a switch under the column by the TPMS button out of sight out of mind cause my wife and daughter drive the truck sometimes. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/61-2nd-generation-2005/226409-locker-mod-alternative.html

 

How are you guys making out up there? We have about 14 inches but it just turned to sleet. Tree limbs are cracking everywhere, thats why i just had to move my truck.

 

Thanks, bookmarked, looks more detailed than the write ups i have seen here. Maybe ill try it after you do it in case i have any questions haha.

 

Yeah... ask Rob how the 'ghetto LSD' worked out for me last time.

Meh, a little snow, winds starting to pick up but overall, not bad at all. I'd say I only have about 8" on the ground now but, because of the wind, it's nothing in some spots, 12" in others.
