I've made a few 24 hour drives in mine, It's a lot better than a lot of vehicles for long trips. Especially since the center console will flip up (If you know what I mean).

Our old Dodge Ram van was pretty nice on long trips too though, it had big reclining swivel chairs for the middle seats and a fold down bed in the back.

^My mom had a 96 Ram van..
Same sorta setup you had, only the middle seats didn't swivel. Thing was an absolute hog though. 3.9L V6....NEVER AGAIN!!!

Come to think of it though, it never had the problems our Rams have. Didn't go through transmissions and didn't have a plenum problem...just got sh1tty gas mileage cause of the V6. Really needed a 360 in there.

sheriff420 I was just wondering how you stayed awake for 24 hours while driving until the second sentence, must have felt damn good, and made the ride seem like it was shorter

Who's been breaking the rules? I noticed that the DF rules are a sticky in the 2nd gen main page.
Speaking of sticky, how come this thread isn't one?

Mr. Plow did phenominal this weekend in the light dusting (1-2'') we had this weekend. Did my mother's 45* driveway without any slipping. No weights, no chains. I'm getting the tires filled with Rim Guard soon though.

Those are some good looking welds, it's surprising that you didn't blow any holes in that tubing since it was your first time with a mig.

My mower has trouble getting a grip in the dirt, forget snow. Then again, that's with a few hundred pounds of logs on a trailer, on a hill. It had a little trouble when I was moving that boat around the yard too.

I think I did make some holes. They were very small so I ground them down and re-welded them.

You're using that lil' POS to move a boat? I swear these tires I have on it are just as grippy as a fat guy holding his hamburger.

I was using the 12ish hp craftsman.
Yeah, that thing didn't like that boat. It has a 70ish hp motor mounted on it and a 90 hp Evinrude sitting inside it so it's a little heavy.
I went downhill with the boat after getting it moving and the boat pushed the mower downhill sideways when I turned the wheel.
I would have used the truck but it's really tight where I was moving it to and I was already moving a bunch of logs with the mower at the time anyway so I just hooked up to the boat since I was right there with the mower.

I'm done with painting things. I'm gonna leave that to the professionals, because I cant spray worth a crap. Purpl is getting de-oranged this spring and will have a fresh stock look.
