Snow/Freezing rain here still. Said **** it and stayed inside all day. I am on the hunt to buy a good tow vehicle for Z and be able to put a plow on the front of it. Gonna start doing my own driveway as these guys are clowns and show up whenever they feel like it. The setup should pay for itself in ~40 years.

Oh, nothing, I was just bored so I figured I'd pull something off that I haven't before.

Jk. Z1 diff cover and bushings are going in. Not really looking forward to bench pressing the subframe off the car.

If you get a used vehicle with a snow plow. Look at the plow frame and where it bolts to the the vehicle frame. Look for cracks and repairs made. Plowing is HARD on the drivetrain. So look for problems in that area too. My brother had his own snow plowing business for a while. Plus I plowed snow at the power plant.

I dropped my sub-frame with the diff in it. Just by using a floor jump. It's not hard at all.

I plan on used truck/jeep/suv with a new plow more than likely.

Yea... that's the best plan. Get a used 3/4 ton truck with a solid front axle. Ford or Ram. Chevy's don't hold up well. And put on a snow plow.

Be careful around the canals. Gators like to hide out in them after a heavy rain.

And be careful of stoners on bath salts. They like to eat your face off.
