Looks like lil red got a manicure under the hood. The JD snow thrower for the tractor is ready, went through it last year. But....it's against the garage wall behind 7 or 8 sheets of dry wall, 4 ladders and other crap. I new I'd regret that at some point. I don't think it's going to snow anytime soon here...maybe I shouldn't of said that lol. Other than that, it's ready to move mountains again. That thing has been one of my favorite investments, perfect match for the big V Twin. It moves some snow.

You have a four wheeler set, have any pics AK ?

Man that truck looks clean, just busted one of the clips that holds the jack crank bar on the 98, there's always something snapping on that thing. Have to weld that back together I guess lol.

BTW, - Yea those rims would look on it for sure.

AK: Those wheels and tires will look great on Li'l Red!

White: It looks like your parts pile is taking shape.

White's parts are fun. Mine are necessity. These just arrived today, so tomorrow evening the truck will go up on stands for an early start on Saturday. I figured I might as well do them both, right?



Question: Do the seals behind the hubs typically need replaced? (I didn't even know they were there when I did the '99.)
​​​​​​
The ATV will get an oil change this weekend and it will be ready for the white stuff. The blade turned out pretty well.



EDIT: I guess I do have one fun/nice thing... My wife got me a seat heater kit for my birthday.

Thanks, Brew. I got the plow with the ATV (a low-hour '08 bought five years ago). I knocked down some rusty areas with a wire wheel, and shot it with three coats of Rustoleum Professional gloss black spray. It started with just needing to install a new wear bar, but morphed into the full repaint job.

The heater kit is for the truck. (I should've clarified.) While a seat heater on the Grizz would be nice, others have said it turns into more of a seat *wetter* when it melts the snow that gets on it. Grip-warmers, on the other hand (well, on both hands)? I'll never have a quad without them.

I've been riding four wheelers since I was 3... how the freakin hell did I not know about grip warmers!? Pretty cheap too! I just used thick mittens and hand warmers if it got too bad. (Handgurads helped a bit with the breeze)
