Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner. Will can make a few extra $$$ for timing it like this.

I agree. But then what if it turns out to be a heck of a winter and I'm bored at home with no snowmobile? :laugh:
I just have to commit myself to selling it first...

Working from home again today... The person I carpool with is a pussy for driving in the snow - even though he has a 4wd Jeep. The car with the blizzaks is nuts - pretty much plowed my friends driveway driving in it.

We are supposed to have a warmer winter with a lot of snow. Is it La Nina this year or something.

I let my gf take the cougar with the blizzaks today with the snow talk. Boy am I nice... I'm driving her 2wd 4 cylinder auto ranger with no weight in the back :crazy: Should be an interesting drive home :laugh:
Should really get on a set of new leaf springs so I can put some sand in the back. I've been pounding the leaf spring back together about once a month, one of the main leafs has been broke in two pieces for like a year now. At least the tires are still pretty decent on it.

It's not so bad, just slow. I still like driving it for some reason
Doesn't even have power accessories or cruise. Pretty much a barebones work truck.KyleQ

I'll drive this when things get too deep for the SVT
Nothing will stop this thing with 4.56 gears, lockers up front and rear, and enough grunt to pull tree's out of the ground.

Not the price of gas?
4.56 must be highway friendly....I heard we have only gotten a dusting here. I haven't gotten outside yet since this morning.

Any idea what the gears are in a stock 79 F-250? All I know is my truck with the 460 and the gearing it has will pull anything and everything.......as long as the stupid 2wd gets traction. :laugh:

I doubt they are higher than 4.11... I'm not sure though. If I remember correctly my old 91 F150 had 3.08s :laugh:

were over 6 inches already, and expecting about a foot total
this is what i am driving while i look for a car.
i managed to get it stuck 1 time last year, when i was pushing snow OVER the hood. i'll take a subaru over just about anything in snow, they are just unstopable.

Tell me about it. Great winter cars, that is for sure. I would really love to get another one so I could put the SVT away during the winter. The wife (that sounds too weird) saw a WRX wagon on the road the other week in duluth that she liked. Two imprezza wagons in front of the house?

Hehe - actually I only turn 2K @ 55 with the larger tires. It is built to be beat on - I don't think I can hurt it on the roads, or even come close to what I do to it on the trails... I do, on occasion, spin the motor to red-line - but babies cry and police start looking :laugh:
I can fill the tank for less then 30 bucks and do a decent amount of driving on it. I'm not sure what kinda MPG I get with the new trans, but it is above and beyond what I was getting with the old trans.
