Hauled hay with it..

Put on the DIY Posi-Lok. I couldn't get it working, I think I've got too many bends in the cable routing so I've gotta re route it.

Needless to say, I got stuck with a full load of bales on a flatbed trailer.

And the Ford doesn't have 4wd OR limited slip... So we couldn't use it to pull the Dodge out

So I backed up as far as I could onto some grass that didn't have snow/ice on it, although the top bit was a little bit muddy cuz it was about 40* outside...

After several tries in low range, I kept hitting 20MPH which is tops for low range and I still couldn't get enough speed on the tires to get moving.

So I put it in high range and first gear and tried again. Still not much more than 20MPH and not enough speed.

So I backed up again, put it in 2nd gear, floored it, and dropped the clutch. I absolutely maxed the engine out at 5700RPM and 50MPH reading on the speedometer, and slowly I worked my way out. I was really burning rubber by this time but I DID make it out of there LOL! About the only time Dad ever lets me do a "burnout" lol. Everyone else ran for shelter lol, it was sooo loud and I was smoking the tires really good...

Wish I had it on video, but everyone else was either running for shelter or helping guide me out of the pasture (I had to make it through several narrow gates).

I have pics of the Posi and also my burnout tracks, about 150ft of them...

Good thing I had a manual and racing clutch or else I would've burned up an automatic in no time doing that!

Best bet is to host your pics elsewhere, like photobucket, or imageshack, and then just use the 'image' tags to have them show up here.

Finally got my remote start all wired up from Christmas. Just in time for Polar Vortex 2: The Sequel!

That was a wiring nightmare, btw.
