Some stuff regarding winter and Dakotas:
I am seriously considering making my next Dakota a 4x4. Anyone
know how much weight the 4x4 adds? (Trying to keep my 1/4 mile times
down.) :-)
What is everyone doing about driving in the winter? I've already
got 600-700lbs in the bed, but we had some slushy snow today that
made driving *very* interesting. (I was driving down the road at a 45
degree angle. I was still going straight, but it took me a few hundred
feet to get the truck to track right again. (Fortunately no cars were
coming the other way.) I've got a set of balding 235/70 Firestone
Firehawks on now, so I'm thinking of getting a set of cheap steel
rims with (narrower) Blizzak's on 'em from Tire Rack or some place like
that. I've also thought about getting one of those winches that you
can hook up to your trailer ball, just in case I do get in over my head.
Whaddya think? Also, any other ideas or suggestions for getting
through the winter would be great! :-)
(Is it spring yet?)
