SnoBall Preparations?

[BramageDained]

It probably doesn't really matter much if you're not the front couple of trucks. Granted, this opinion is after watching Squatting Dog drag his 2nd spare through the snow for most of the run. His springs were sacked and the rear was much lower than it should have been. But, there's quit a bit more snow this year vs last it sounds like too.

It certainly won't help if you have an off and bury it in the deep snow either. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

It was a blast being the lead truck.. Hitting the drifts at speed and having the snow come over the hood. Perfect visibility! My negative arched leaf springs and second spare time under the bed did cause my whole rear frame pack full of snow.

You just have an aurora about you lately, when giving your truck to someone else to work on.

That is part of the reason I am not planning on any events until I can do some much needed maintenance/upgrades..

Ok heard from dealer. Can pick up truck at 5.

Interesting that the front brake caliper bracket needed to be replaced due to a stripped bolt hole. They said they never seen that before.

Luckily, everything covered under warranty. The dealer has been good. But needs to work on communication a bit.
