Picked up the Prairie yesterday, 5 inches fresh snow last nite, 9 degrees, windchill about 25 below
Went riding anyway. ATR's seem to hook up pretty good, went up banks, thru ditches, cut donuts, all in 2wheel dr.
Cold blooded thing, (lean probably) ran good once it warmed up. Engine braking felt strong coming down hills.
Steering felt light in 2 wheel, (maybe due to snow?) Finally had to go home to defrost.
Wife was embarrassed, said the neighbors would think I needed to be committed.
Scared the crap out of myself unloading it yesterday, kept dying as I was backing it out of the truck, gave it a little too
much gas, engine caught good, shot me backwards out of the truck and down the ramp before I could even think.
Had to go change my shorts. Will be ready next time.

Can't wait to do all the Mods

 

Hey oxygen, dont feel too bad about the unloading incident. I have one better. I was loading mine up, in the bitter cold, when I hit the gas a little too hard. It wheelied up the ramps, over the fenders and into the rear of my 01 Silverado extended cab. It bent the bed of the truck into the cab, which also dented inward and shattered my rear window. I was sick about it. To top it off I had a two hour drive home with no rear window. Burrrr

 

New guys, I'll tell ya, so dangerous it's unreal.. Just kidding of course O2. Just remember don't crash until Herb and I get there. We don't want to miss it and and talk about ya like a dog.

 

JJS - You're not alone. I shot mine through the back window of my cousin's Ford Ranger last week. Gave it just a little to much gas trying too get it over the wheel well. Hit the brakes once I was on top of the wheel well but it was to late. Slid right in to the window.

 

when i unloaded mine the first time the idiot that loaded it up left it in gear. of course i was so excited i didnt even think about it held the brkes and started her up, let go of the brakes to shift her into gear and before i knew it i went flying forward and almost broke off the front of the trailer....i also had to change my pants [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
