Here is some snow wheeling from last week at a place we call Peach Orchard.

Tree= 1 Truck= 0

Rush, KY videos, This was a couple days after the above ride


I broke the centering ball in the cv-joint climbing this hill



the noise in this video coming from my truck is the cv-joint rubbing the crossmember





the noises in this video coming from my truck is the cv-joint rubbing the crossmember and I broke the welds holding the yoke for the axle end of my square tube driveshaft

Im working on getting the rear welded and Ive got TBI fuel injection to install because that carb is killing me.

Carb 31, you 0?

I hated having a carb off road...easily the biggest "fun-killer" on a K truck.

I hate it too, I just picked up a TBI setup for $150 bucks. The guy told me to take anything I needed off of it so I pulled the complete engine harness and everything for the computer under the dash. I need pickup a new distributor for due to the one I got being almost froze up.

Don't forget the fuel pump, and FI filter...

i've done the same thing to my passenger door and front fender in my Jimmy...also snow wheeling. I seem to hit the most stuff in the snow, which is predictable I suppose. Did you break the window? I saw the butterfly window broke, but how about the main window? My side glass shattered when I hit the 6th tree with that door.

For those that might be wondering the white/black TJ in the first video has a lt1/nv4500/twin sticked 205 and is going to be swapping the lt1 out for a 4 cylinder Isuzu diesel.

Ive got a 91 burb tank and Fuel pump Im swapping in, Ive got to pick up the fuel filter for it though.

I slid into the tree and I broke the butterfly window when I first hit the tree, when I backed off the tree it shattered the window. Had to drive an hour home with no window and it around the freezing mark.

I had to kick the door from the inside quiet a few times to get it out far enough to get the door to open, the door has been replaced and I am going to use the one I crushed as one of the half doors for it.

I was the first full size rig to hit these trails and was told it was going to be tight.

I had my tree/door fun at Walker Valley ORV in WA state. It was a pre-scheduled club trip...but the night before the trip it snowed really heavily here. We had 10-12" of fresh snow and it's an 80 mile drive to Walker Valley. We decided to at least drive there and if it was as bad there we'd call the trip down and back our "wheeling trip".

We got down there and it was all good, no snow anywhere and temps in the mid 30's. We wasted no time getting on the trails, and within half an hour it started to snow there.

In short order the snow got really bad and just getting out of there in one piece became the challenge. I slid into 6 different trees, got both doors, and the drivers front fender. By the time we got out it was 10 pm, in the mid 20's and snowing pretty bad. My wipers iced up real bad on the way home, and while trying to bang the ice off I broke the drivers one, so I figured I'd swap the passenger one over...and promptly broke that wiper off too.

The Canada Customs guy took one look at my truck as I was coming through and kinda laughed when I told him I'd been wheeling. I was very happy to get home!!

That had to suck driving 80 miles back home with a busted window.

I got all kinds of weird looks when we would pass people on the interstate going home with no window on the driver side, which I was all ready getting looks because you don't see many trucks around here built like mine. Most people round here with fullsize rigs either mud bog or they don't see the dirt.
