Jake it sounds like you got a nice truck! Throwing belts could be something a simple as loose belts or if that not the case it could be pully allignment. ICE FISHING? When you said this my first two thoughts where 1. That truck is heavy 2. NDCC tires absolutely suck on ice! if you figure this out I would really like to see some pics since I spend a lot of my winter in the fish house! Great luck and please keep us posted

Neil and Daniel have both made trailers out of M109 boxes. They are a bit heavy for ice fishing at 3,000 + pounds, and they probably won't float very long if they do break through the surface.

Yeah, you might end up with a submarine instead of a hut..... Well, maybe an anchor.

haha I'm not too worried about dealing with the ice house idea right now ... but we really do drive full size pickups on the ice... whats an f 150 weigh? chevy 1500? more than 3000 and with there weight less evenly distrubeted I think the trailer would work with absolutly no probs on the ice... even tho its just an idea (not that big of a fisherman)
