    lol

    I was tan one time a long long time ago.

  3. Glad it worked out. FYI - I once called the towing service that is so highly recommended here... only to never even get a return call from him.

    Oh Crap

    Nothing worse than that feeling. Except for when you have that feeling on your way to work, round a corner and see traffic stopped dead on 270.
  5. Make sure to build a custom high-top mount for wing/downforce use.
  6. What do you charge to install them (with hitch)? I'm curious to know how much I saved myself. Also, after I threw the "special strap" in a box and installed a larger tie-down, the down pressure was pretty impressive. Took my whole driveway back down to gravel. I am sure it would not dig up ice though. My real goal is to keep my drive drivable and maybe some close neighbors.

  8. If you're talking about this plow (and I don't think you really were), they were the same price this past Summer as they are now. You can probably pick up a used one off-season for cheap. Another benefit of new was their 3-year warranty... if it even snows again in Ohio during that time.
  9. I think it looks especially small since the front end of the Ram is so damned big. The other thing I like about this solution is I don't have one more thing that needs tune-ups, insurance, gas, etc. I timed myself. 45 seconds to install the front pusher/mount + pin and lift the blade on. Ha, I didn't even catch the Vibe thing.
  10. I think they start at $799 for a rear-mount that uses an existing rear hitch (yep, plowing in reverse). Why not? The front mount 7', straight only, is like $1099. Add $150ish for a front mount if you don't already have one and around $100ish for the 3-angle option. Free shipping from Agri-Cover, the manufacturer. They also have a 8' I think. I figured if I ended up hating it, I would sell it off next year during the first real snow and move up to a "real" plow. This has a strap that holds it down for their version of down pressure. When backing up, the blade tilts towards the truck and it uses the outer bigass rubber pieces as wheels, so it doesn't backblade everything you just pushed forward. I read a TON of comments on plowing forums - mostly from guys with $5500 plows - calling this nothing but a big shovel. But, again, I am honestly impressed. I can lift the thing easily but the brackets on the truck are very heavy-duty. Plus, now I have a front hitch for other things if I want - cargo, winch, etc. I also realized tonight that I could transport the plow on my rear hitch. That would be cool for less resistance and it would probably scare the shit out of some people behind me. Some crappy video - http://www.agricover.com/index.php/products/category/C24/
  11. Got tired of getting my tractor stuck, breaking others' plow trucks in my driveway and asking people to plow my driveway, so I ordered a 7' SnowSport plow last Thursday. It showed up on Tuesday and I had it on Wednesday. I took a lot of pics, but here's just a couple. On pre-06 models, Dodge has existing holes in the front frame to mount the front hitch that holds the plow mount. 06 and up do not, of course. They tell you to use this fishing method using an existing tiny hole 16" away from the bolt holes to get the bolts and carriage spaces into the right areas (inside the frame rail). That seemed WAY too hard, so cutting wheels came out: http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu8/nurkvinnyz06/SnowSportPlow/0224001540-1.jpg Here it is mostly installed and angled to the driver side: http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu8/nurkvinnyz06/SnowSportPlow/0224001809-1.jpg Used it tonight because I have drifts like a mofo, and was pushing snow higher than my Ram's hood. Very impressed so far.
  12. Amen. That car is a total failure.
  13. I'm helping dad sell a 4L80E out of a 1994 Chevy 2500 4x4. It still has the transfer case and converter. I found it on CL for him last year but we learned that it wouldn't fit his truck. He just had his rebuilt this week, so no need for this now. It's at his shop in Zanesville, but for a VERY serious buyer, I can get it to Pataskala or the East side. Might bust up the deal and sell separate. $550 obo. http://images.craigslist.org/3na3o43p55O85P15R4a2p30937ef86c4a1d9b.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/3ke3mc3pf5O75R85S2a2p62ffcfbfde941eba.jpg
  14. That's a little stuck. But looks fun.
  15. Yep, stay at 600. 750 can be made to work on anything. But, with a stock 350, 600 is your best bet. When I was young and knew everything, I put a 750 double pumper on a 350 with a cam and headers. WAY too much. Went back to a Edelbrock 600 and ran perfect.
  16. Shameless plug - I am selling our 05 AWD Equinox LT. Had zero issues and the right size for what you're describing. We've liked it for the high mpg and the wife didn't want a "big" suv.
  17. Overkill? http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1612386180.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1582166126.html Maybe more like this? http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/1614751242.html
  18. I don't have a used one, but thought I'd share that I just bought a new one for the Ram and was very impressed with the hitch. It's from Curt Manufacturing. It was cheaper than everywhere else and comes powder coated instead of painted.
  19. That's a lot of work just to drink a beer. Takes me back to the 2 story deck bong.

  21. One bullet. Or, is that too quick?
