What did we do to our Bronco...? We used it again!! :)

Too early! Snow is heavily crusted then ya break thru and you can't move at all. Only 3'6" to 4' deep but with the crust on top you're not going anywhere.

Tim did a great job pinching me put when I went places sane people just say "why go there, you're just going to get stuck"? To me, that's the fun for "nvrstuk". :)

Terrible snow today. Been flooding sled tracks for over a mile then you'd dissappear. Will go back in 3 wks. Should be less crust then.
Wow. Trail doors and no windows. How’s that heater?

Hmmm…are you sure? You look a bit grumpy in that third pic. 🤣 We use to crash dirt roads that weren’t plowed way back in the early days before winches. If you dropped through a crust it was usually time to break out the grain shovels and dig until you found something solid. 🥵

I was driving all winter with our +2 deg F mornings and highs of 15deg with the same setup... It's only 5 miles to town and I put seat heaters in my Solara seats about a decade ago. :) When it gets cold (or 30+ mile long drives) I wear my bomber hat with rabbit fur ear flaps! lol People stare at me then for sure!! lol

Fantastic! That’s faster than most of us get through it. Who took the picture? Smile on their face too probably.

That sucks Shimmy! I’m sure they’ll take care of you though.

Replaced my vacuum brake booster. I couldn't really detect a leak with my mityvac, but the idle increased ever so slightly when I pushed the brake pedal and brake feel wasn't great for a while. Now I know the old one definitely had a small leak - fast idle is lower, regular idle is much more consistent, and she's running smoother overall. Obviously, brake feel is better as well. Sprung for the $12 brake booster adjustment tool on Amazon and put .020" clearance for the push rod. Took a couple hours total. Now on to the next thing...
