Default I'm So Effing Excited Right Now!

I've owned Redneck (that's my truck's name) for almost a year now, and coming today and tonight will be a Nor'eastah that will give us 18-24" of snow! I'm so pumped because:

1. Last winter blew and there was no snow
2. I love driving in the snow
3. I spent $1500 on a complete overhaul of the 4x4 system, with a new solenoid, new actuators, and new hubs
4. I just had the body shop treat, and paint the entire undercarriage with rust inhibitor, so bring the salt!

I know that I'm kinda hogging up space here, but I had to share with you guys, primarily because none of my friends understand and/or don't care whatsoever. I'm so excited!!!

Hahah...I hear ya bro. I've had my truck for almost a year and a half and I think I've used the 4wd maybe 2x, and that was only because I "wanted" to haha.

This time I'll need to. And I did the same thing....complete rebuild of my rear axle, new front hubs, vacuum lines, etc.

Cant wait to do some driving later on while everyone else is stuck @ home!

Scotty I am jealous man. Here in Chicago it finally showed 2" and then melted 2 days later. Haven't seen a good snowfall in 2 years. Have some fun with your truck and post some Cool pictures up

Should be interesting. I'm in boston 1/2 hour from the coast and right in line of the storm.
I've got the generator hooked up, 25 gallons of gas and just got the old snowblower tuned. Bring it on!

This Boston native is loaded for bear!... I'm hoping for the worst. I've been dying to give these general grabber red letters a true deep snow test...

They're predicting snowfall amounts in FEET instead of inches for my area.
