Now that it's almost winter... - Page 2

Sounds like some nice winter rides out there. Hehe. I have an '86 1/2 Nissan Hardbody pickup truck. Z24 2.4L....106 Bhp....4WD....A/C...not that I'll be using it......New heater control unit and new heater motor....broken driver's side rear leaf spring that rattles loudly (have a new one on order!)....I also put new belts on it today.....Oh yeah, it has a big ol' topper, and the bed's loaded up with MUSTANG parts!!

I can rev that thing up high, and sidestep the clutch, and nothing. No scratch, no screech, nothing. PATHETIC. It makes me laugh sometimes because it is such a dog. It does good 1st/2nd gear burnouts in gravel though.

Not that I'm proud of that or anything. Hehe.

this has been my trusty winter ride for the last 9 years

this was the 1st year i had it. keep in mind if i were to crack through the top layer of snow i would be buried up to my waist!

this problem has since been fixed with a 4" lift and 35" pro comp mt tires.

Just put the snow ties on the snake a couple of weeks ago, and I don't have a garage

, but than I don't drive as much in the winter.

SNOWSHOES!

Since I'm a poor college student, I can't afford a beater. I never thought I'd miss my 1990 Escort I had for most of high school, but it would come in real handy right now.

And going to school in the upper peninsula of Michigan makes it impossible to even think of driving the stang in winter. Too many steep hills up here, plus I can't afford a set of good snow tires.
