Monday December 29th, 2014. 10" of snow. Cleared off the tarp over the wrecker at midnight and then again that morning. Glad it wasn't too brittle from the cold. (Next year I'll need to redesign the under structure to be more self-clearing)

There's an M105A2 under the tarp next to the house.

Probably not exactly the kind of "in the snow" shot you're after though. ;)

Ice and gravity formed a cool flat icicle on the passenger rear fender / mud flap.

Thanks and sorry my response is sooooo delayed. I had a defective heart valve, so they cut my sternum open, stopped my heart, cut the bad valve out, and dropped in a plastic one. Is working so far, and it sounds like I swallowed a $2 watch.

The M925A2 is awesome for 6 wheel drive power slides in abandoned Walmart parking lots. Nothing like looking out the side mirror and seeing a wall of snow while the turbo is screaming its song.

On ice, it is just like anything else. She will go, but will slip and spin at anything more than 1/4 brake or throttle, even in 6 wheel.
We could have done that surgery in the garage. A hydraulic check valve from PRT would have been cheaper.

If we get lots of snow this winter, I want to chain up my Deuce and see how it does!

Again another year you guys are taking all the snow over there! Here we have another little to nothing winter. It should have been the winter seen every 100 years the weather guy said.

Nobody anywhere knows the future:

- Not for next year.

- Not for next week.

- Not even for tomorrow.

You'll have to post your pics in the little boys room.

Carbon fiber? I'm pretty sure a couple ball valves and a couple check valves would have worked just fine for you. No need to go carbon fiber fancy. ;-)

My Deuce will do good in the snow with chains!

Thanks from America! Yes, have insurance. I paid $500 total.
I'd call that a bargain. Guessing you don't have too many complaints about your health plan; that right?

Not very exciting, but I did take this pic this specifically for this thread. My 9 idling in McDonald's parking lot this morning with MI snow, just after dropping the kids off at elementary school with it.
