Are those your left overs from super bowl weekendNah, I'm trying to get my man card reinstated - a dirty truck is the first step. I almost have enough empty beer cans in the bed for the second step! =)
I still have my .22 Benjamin pellet gun, and I shoot a few pellets in it every year. I believe it had a leather gasket for the air chamber, if so, still going strong. Most of the bluing is worn off (I suppose it's not regular bluing since it's all brass).
So that big heavy chain hanging off the front is useless without something else to pull it. You need a team of sleigh dogs to hitch it to. It has been a snowy winter that can even stop 4wd Rangers in their tracks here also.So not today, about 2 weeks ago. Some of you know that I put in "grass pavers." They were about $1,000 but they're made in the US . . .
Well, this is embarrassing, but I don't care.
We got about 2 feet of snow, I used the snow blower and cleared the driveway and behind the truck as it was parked on said grass pavers.
I was backing up and swung the front end out into the yard and the snow (there was already a foot of old snow under the recent 2 foot snow fall) and ... you guessed it, Soupie's 2WD got stuck! I mean really stuck!
I rocked back and forth, turned traction control on and off, and was this close to busting out the snow chains. Except the passenger side was in the 3 feet of snow.
I took out my avalanche shovel and dug. Still no luck. If I remember right, it was 5° and all the spinning out melted some of the snow which quickly froze into a big chunk too big to bust with the shovel.
So I pulled out my GoTreads (foldable traction boards). Well, one of them shot out into the street, about 30 feet! But finally, the traction board on the passenger side did the trick (then buried itself and didn't show up for about a week when a bit of snow melted).
And the reason for being stuck on a totally flat spot ... the plastic grass pavers!
No grip on them, it's like being on Teflon! =D
snow's been melting like mad this week but you can see the driver side peel out

Soupie wears it betterIf he didn't have a damper he'd still have some muscle and could've pushed it right out.
That chain is only for looks. Notice the resemblance

You forgot the Red nosed one. lolLol, it would take an army of Kotas to get that done! =D
With a rabbit out front to set the paceLol, it would take an army of Kotas to get that done! =D

After several calculations it seems you need more dog power in the snow with a 2wdLol, it would take an army of Kotas to get that done! =D
Cool. I’m at 151,000 on all original brakes and just passed inspection with flying colors.
I wished I had one of those “Squirrel Slayers” when I was a kid !I still have my .22 Benjamin pellet gun, and I shoot a few pellets in it every year.

LOL, it's about 10 feet from me, but I'm too lazy to go to the basement ... =D
