For all you snow people, what do you do with your trucks in the winter time? this spring im trading in ye ol mustang for another truck(Tires of being cramped) So im either finding a used 04 Lightning or waiting until july and getting an 06 Supercew FX4, im leaning more towards the L at this point because i love them to death. just wanted to find out if you guys get crap beater cars to drive in the snow and put the L away. i dont know if this sounds stupid i was thinking of getting the L and then buying a $6,000 4x4 like a Jeep cherokee or Ford explorer or something. Good idea bad? Blah blah, Thanks for the help guys.

BTW. does anyone know where i can do a search to see if theres possibly a new 04 floating around somewhere?

 

my l is my only vehicle.i drive it year round in all weather.i have never had any problems in the snow (luckily) with the stock f 1's.just have to be real carefull

 

Change rear tires and drive it.

 

its my DD in north chicago... i had to get a new set of rims and some bfg all terrain for the rear cause of a foot of snow in one night...

 

My 03 L is my daily driver. In the mountains of Colorado I have never been stuck! I use 235/75 R 16 Yokohama Geolander Snow tires on cheap aluminum rims, and add about 400 lbs of sandbags to the bed of the truck.

F1's will not work in a foot of snow, but my other tires work suprisingly well. I have never regretted getting rid of the Super Duty 4x4 and I live at 9500 ft. We get lots of snow! My L is the best daily driver I have ever had.

Good luck,
Greg

 

I drive it.

 

I'll be driving it when the weather isn't terrible. But I'll also be driving my Grand AM GT a lot too.

 

mines in the garage under a cover. but then I don't take it out in the spring, summer, or fall if its wet or nasty out. I'm saving it for something?

 

No garage Queen here.

 

Mine is tucked away in the garage and ready for spring. The sad part is that it still has the numbers on it from when it was last out at the track in the fall.
I would for sure buy a better. There is no need to take a chance with it in the rain or snow. Plus, you will keep it nicer.

 

Park the thing. I tried to drive my truck the first year i had it in the winter. Luckily we only got like 3 storms and they were minor. I had snowtires and weight and all that crap and it was useless. Now i have an 88 Olds, front wheel drive. Paid 300 bucks for it and it's the nuts. Here is where my truck stays for the winter. My old man's is in the garage.

Here is the storm we just had. 3 feet in the Boston Area




I just got it dug out Sunday.

 

Somehow mine usually ends up at JDMs. LOL

 

rebuild the engine

 

I have the privlage of parking it for the salt season

 

Rebuild the engine and then drive it!

Expidition rims and tires and 360 lb of weight in the back.
