A little fun today

[baja_power]

well we can confirm that the air shift does work.. you can hear it clunk in and feel the pull from the fronts..

Also pulled a 4x4 jeep out of a ditch on a county road.. he had a tow strap. front engaged, 2nd gear, Low range.. couldn’t even tell it was back there.

I thought you had the "BIG" chain on the back!! Armada has the same "WHALE HOOK" on the back of his. Too Cool!!

 

[baja_power]

bigger then the one on the front

id like to see the other chain you speak of..

 

[Wick246]

Great shots.

Stretch has the same chain on his deuce....Roger has a sh!tload of them for sale.
Every now and then he lists them on eBay

That looks like the winch chain from the back of a 5 on wreckers 45,000# winch. Great pics Baja_Power! Did most of OH get dusted like that?

 

[bomar76]

I think it is only rated @ 35k, so probably not the winch chain. He has (at least last I looked) a couple 5 ton wreckers with rear winches on his lot.
Roger said he had no idea what they were originally for.

Lookin' good!

You got a lot more snow than I have Baja, Columbus is getting nailed. Mansfield has got maybe 3 inches. Not taking my duece out until the snow gets DEEP. Too much salt on the roads at the moment. Looks like a good time!

I need to find another place to hang my big chain, lost my hanging spot with the dump conversion.

x2.

Non Directionals in snow is SOOOOOO frustrating. Took me three tries to get up a farm road on the powerlines last week so I could get to where I was pulling logs out.
1st try: Low Range, 2nd gear-
2nd try: Low range, 3rd gear-...a little further
3rd try: Low range, 4th gear put CAT to governor. Made it.

What was your tire pressure? What load did you carry?
High tire pressure with no load would be the worst condition with any tire.

This time i didn’t mess with the tires. so i was running around 53 PSI only had maybe 300 pounds in the back of random things ranging from some extra diesel to 6x6 blocks and a 5th wheel hitch ( still in the box). I plan on loading the snow from the driveway into the back if I need more weight.

we got a lot of snow here in my part of PA, but no deuce to play with...................................

 

[williamh]

snow ???? whats that ??? is it any thing like slow moving rain ????


nice pic , whats all that white stuff ???? is that very clean dirt??? or is there a fire around ???

 

[Desert Rat]

WH,

I know what you mean! Looks like they are overdressed to fight that fire causing all the ash to fall !!

 

[cranetruck]

I like the pictures Baja, your rig looks ready for the winter, radiator cover and all.
We got freezing rain, sleet and plain cold rain to top it all off. It was all slushy in the late evening
and when the wind turned back to the cusomary Northwesterly, it all froze. This morning everything is covered with ice, about 2 inches of it, fortunatly not so much on the trees this time (no serious power outages).

 

[colyork]

I would love to take my duece ot to play ,but they use lots of salt on the roads . I just don't the salt worrking on the body. No rust holes yet would like to keep it that way.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Someone put 4000# in the back of a deuce and report back on it's abiity to move in the snow. I think one might be suprised.
