Noooooooo, toooooooo sooooooon!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Isn't it kind of "June/ July/ Winter" over in your neck of the woods anyway!?Noooooooo, toooooooo sooooooon!
So that's LAST year's pic, right: you all aren't already getting snow?I was tired of all of the big piles of snow lying around so I loaded them on my dump and hauled them out to the field. When spring came, I wanted to have the snow gone ASAP around my house! It had been a long winter. View attachment 586370
Bad-to-the-bone! Nice truck. Looks fresh, clean, solid and mean.View attachment 661868View attachment 661867
Here are a few pictures. First from last weekends storm and pulling a Honda out of a snow bank last year.
I got to hear story. I hope the speader hopper was full.opcorn:Snow..
A big, monster azz truck out in nature. You got yer trees, forest road, snow. Is that a stump under yer front axle? What do you have here?Well its time to start this post back up. Not much snow but its a starts and hopefully the truck will be hidden by spring and the droughts will be over.
Ditto on the salt fear and it's not just up North...we got 10 inches of snow and the temp hovered around 5 degrees... I took the truck out driving to see if anyone needed help and the next day my truck looked like a frosted mini wheat with the salt spray on it...they are using that salt liquid on our roads now so it makes a big mess that is hard to rinse off...Will have to rethink how much driving to do from now on until I can work out a better rinse capability in the cold...It's not that my truck can't handle the many feet of snow we get each year,it's the fact that the amount of salt used on the roads here in western new york destroys vehicles. I cleaned the 1 1/2 feet of snow off the top and pulled back the tarp to start it up for awhile.
Get a scandinavian edition then . I know the M35's the norwegian armed forces used to have, came with 3 air lockers straight from the factory. And boy do I want to get my hands on one of thoseWouldn't the APC be much more capable in the snow than the truck? I think I am missing something, but maybe you had to trailer the APC to the rental location?
EDIT...
I think I get it now, the deuce and a half was in your way, you had to move it... I can only imagine puckering up on that hill. I managed to get my 5 ton stuck in ankle snow on level ground near my driveway, shockingly those things are not at all capable on the snow. Why they don't have locking differentials is beyond me. I can only imagine sitting in that thing as a soldier, while being stuck in sand or snow, and the bad guys are shooting at you!! What moron did the design criteria and didn't think of capabilities to actually move in slippery ground... Ugh.
I'm thinking about a plow next year on mine. Any specs on that?1st trial of new city snow plow. 12" the week before Christmas (none since). Worked out pretty well.
Need to get about 4t of ballast in the back Block heater beats ether.
Yeehaw!M925 in the snow.
Took my truck out for. Lite fun the other night. I just put in a new trans so I was being easy on it.
I couldn't tell you why, but all I got was audio and no video; sure sounded sweet, though.Took my truck out for. Lite fun the other night. I just put in a new trans so I was being easy on it.
I don't know why the link died. I uploaded it to youtube. Shouldn't disappear this time.I couldn't tell you why, but all I got was audio and no video; sure sounded sweet, though.
