Reminiscing about truck days lost
Winter is getting into full swing here, or least it feels that way today, and its the start of missing my old 4x4. It was a bad ass rig that got me to and from the mountains many times through out the winter. Skiing or playing, it just didn't matter. As long as the truck was in 4 wheel drive everything was groovy.
There is so much you can do with a 4 wheel drive over a 2 wheel drive. I do have chains for the 20s and its works damn good it's just that getting outside when it’s freezing to handle some freezing steel does not feel good. Hands go number in a few short minutes and all you want to do is get the chains on, drive 50 feet and retighten them down so you don't have to get out of the truck.
With the old truck it was just slow down to 35 mph and slide the transfer case into gear and then speed back up. Ah it was so easy, o manual hubs to reverse out of and most importantly; relaxing in the big ass seat that where in. Being a guy not blessed with altitude, it makes it comfortable to drive a full size truck because there is all the room in the world.
So is anyone like me? During a part of the year do they miss that vehicle you once had? A street bike, muscle car, sports car, big truck or something similar? Hope all is well in the auto world and drive safe this winter!
