Found a little snow around Mt. Hood

Went out with a few friends in search of some snow yesterday near Mt Hood. There wasn’t much to speak of, but we had a great time. Pushing my axle back an inch was a huge improvement.

Looks like you need to find a better class of friends;)Nice pics.

I agree with you...the lack of Bronco's in that picture is upsetting ;D I'm still waiting for the videos to be sent to me. They are posted on Facebook and I'm not sure how to link to them.

Those are some great pictures. Glad you were able to get out. I agree that the last picture is the best. Hope you can get some more pics posted up on some more adventures this winter.

Can you elaborate on this? I have been noticing that a few people have done it on lubrs. Why is it better? Should I do it to my 66? Very nice bronco by the way

The last pic looks like a bronco post card. Looks like a great time.



...or an awesome Busch Beer Commercial. Remember that old commercial when the guy is carrying a 6 pack of Busch and when he jumps over the creek, one can falls into the frigid cold water. He stick his hand down deep in the water and pulls the can out and cracks it open. That commercial was only missing this Bronco.

I used Ruffstuff perches on mine because they have the indexing holes already located in the perches and top plate. I needed to fix my pinion angle anyway so It was a good time to do both.

I did this because I only have 3.5" total lift and my 33's were contacting the front of the rear fender while offroad. I do not have that issue anymore.

Here's a pic of the difference. Bottom is stock

Way to use the skinny pedal to get across the snowy ditch! GAWD I hope it snows here soon!!!

Open diffs, full tire pressure and all those Jeeps mocking me. Thought it would be appropriate to show them what a few more cylinders will do :)
