Getting a hidden winch installed next week, goes behind the bumper instead of sticking out the front
Kids look like they’re having a good time! We are getting a few feet of snow in the passes this weekend. I’m thinking of taking my dog up to play in it.

The snow was unexpected where I mapped out the area to get the Xmas tree was not even in the forest it was right on the edge so we ended up going up another 1000ft and started hitting a couple inches, kids had fun but got cold and wet but still enjoyed it now they are all hungry so we are at the black bear diner in Auburn

Haven't visited your thread in a while but the truck is looking fantastic. The family dinner pic looks even better. Well done on both.

Got the hidden winch install done, there is a X20 12k Smittybuilt behind the bumper, had to order a different fairlead the x20 would stick up about 2" over the bumper cover so I ordered a rough country one that should fit right in.

it should be when I get those other parts, just a hole right now, I was supposed to receive the fog lights today but they are sitting down the road at the ups distribution center. Came home to a amazon box sitting on the porch and I grabbed it and the wife goes that's mine and I was like no it's mine, I looked at the label and dammit not mine lol
At least there’s no big ol winch sitting out there. Good to see a few guys still getting stuff done. Weather here has been sh*t for weeks, lately it’s been raining every day and about 40. I have zero motivation to get out there snd do anything. Worked too many winters outside, I’m done with that cold sh*t.

well I don't have anywhere to put a boat or quads, or jet ski's so my options are limited as to what I can do for fun and hitting some 4X4 trails is one of them, there are several within reach around here in the Sierra's I was just watching a video of "poker flat" which is not bad but some of it looks like a tight fit towards the end of the trail. looks interesting but there is probably several feet of snow up there right now making it much more difficult
That looks a lot like a place here in the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Defiance. When I was young, my dad had a two way radio transmitter up there for the loggers as part of his communication business. In the summer we used to 4-wheel to the top to the lookout tower where the transmitter and tower we built was. You can’t drive up there any longer, they put a gate up but you can get within a couple miles and then hike the rest of the way. In winter we took snowmobiles up with a trailer to bring propane up for the solar generator but it was super hard, the snow would get 15 feet deep so he bought a snowcat like they use at the ski resorts. One year we were going across a side slope and tossed a track and had to hike a few miles back to the truck, following the snowcat tracks but still sinking up to our waists. Things like this are why I don’t 4-wheel in the snow anymore. Got stuck in places that almost killed me too many times. If you go, be careful and pay attention to the forecast. I see here this weekend the Cascades are expecting 2-3 feet of snow and winds 40-50 mph. It’s the kind of weather that catches adventurers by surprise and they get in but can’t get back out.
