Mine is outside year round since I'm school most of the time... Pretty warm summers and very cold winters up in Vermont..

Thunder how cold can it really get in Kansas in the winter?

Outside at work, in the garage at night as long as nothing else is being worked on. Live in central Utah. Winters are cold with snow, temps ranging from low single digits at night to mid 40's at times. Summers are dry and hot, temps reaching 100+ degrees, with occasional rain/thunder showers.

Yeah that's like the fields by my house... I don't dare take a snowmobile or any of the bikes over there or the truck for that matter. Every day you hear rifles and people huntin I don't really wanna get shot at.

And nice jeep Dodgeramguy... well the 2nd one at least lol. I'm sure the 1st one serves its purpose well. Actually for a woods beater it's pretty good, and since you've had it since new you know what it's been through.

Thunder-- You should chase some of those tornadoes. Although you would probably just outrun them judging by your video haha.

Thanks and my woods beater is still nice minus a few scratches but there is no rust at all on the body.

R/T and Dak 4x4 hang in a heated/cooled garage, Ram gets left outside...It's tough. BTW: I build custom homes, so I don't have to pay an over priced contractor to build this stuff.
