we just got our first big snowstorm in lower michigan so me and a couple buddies went out drift hoppin and i hit a big drift and right in the middle my power steering went out my belt popped off is there anything i can do to keep the pulley better protected

 

skid plate

 

is there a skid plate i can get that is hidden or not very noticable

 

yeah my trucks on 7 cyls and it droped the cyled when i hit a snow bank and got air. drifting 3 tons is funn thoe ill post some vids. as far as the pully. a skid plate would be good and it will be infront/under ur truck no one will see it. like a skid plate for the gas tank.

 

did you go out in the snowstorm today, and how do you videotape while your drifthoppin me and my buddies want to take video too, there were drifts as deep as the headlights today i got stuck but got a friend with a gmc 2500 and a warn winch to pull me out

 

I just got back from doing a little drifthopping the road I went down went from bare gravel to a 2 ft drift in about 25ft I drove through it, but I was spinning all 4 tires. I was wondering when are you supposed to use 4 low or 4 hi I have never really been clear on the difference when it comes to using them. Example I was using 4hi in the snow drifts but should I have been in 4lo?

 

you want to use 4hi because you can't go very fast in 4 low and if you get goin to slow in the real big drifts you'll get stuck

 

my belt is making a ticking noise now when it was off i saw a little chunk missin anyone think that maybe thats were the noise is comin from

 

You shouldn't use a bad belt.

You can pick one up from your parts place for like $50. Or better yet, get a Gatorback Belt. It won't come off next time.

 

The lower the gears the more the weels spin. Spining weels can dig you way down then you are stuck. Snow is hard to drive in at times. Sometimes it's like sand sometimes it's wet. Wet snow is the easyst to drive in. The hardst is when it's crusty on top and like suger underneath the crust. I know when I go out to check my trap line it can be one thing on day 1 and anouther on day 2. Have fun.
