Default Where do you keep your truck?

I don't know how to create a poll, but I was just wondering where all of you keep your trucks at night, or whenever you aren't using it (outside, in a garage, etc...). Also include what kind of weather is by where you live (warm all year, snow in winter, and so on...). I keep mine in my driveway year round. My garage has dirtbikes and a snowmobile and a tractor in it plus a workshop that takes up a third of the 3 car. It's Illinois so it snows in the winter, and all 4 seasons are different. Just wanted to see if I'm the only one who leaves her out all the time.

I'm in , I will watch for your truck when I'm on the highway. I'll have to post up pics of mine, it has alot of decals haha. And if I had yours, I'd make room in the garage lol.

Well if you live in kansas and its like I imagine it then you have a lot of fields to drive around in and alot of open roads. But i'm sure thats not at all what its like. Are there tornadoes by you?

Well even if my garage was empty I still don't think mine would fit, unless I parked it all sideways and stuff. The garage goes like 16 feet back or so then goes up about 6 inches and continues like 3 feet. We have like shelves and a freezer and a massive air compressor so i couldnt just back in and let it hang over. And nice on the 2 jeeps are those your mud trucks or what?

It's nice but whenever I go down there everything is more expensive then i think "oh yeah cook county" haha. And alright, I'll have to post up some pictures this week. I just put the new grille on today, now I just have the bumper and support left. But I have some old pics I can put up eventually

My truck stays outside 24/7, unless I am working on it, then it gets put in the shop. I am in Missouri, so every season is different. I miss Kansas though, the open fields were nice for hunting, but you drive into a field, and expect to get shot, those fields are money makers!!
