for me its the same way it looks in summer mode on the windows are covered in ice and the bed is filled with snow :lol:

 

:yeahthat: Can't wait to try the trail grapplers in the snow. :naughty:

 

Switching back to z85 rims

 

my truck is the same year round in georgia :thumbup:

 

you can see mine in about 2 weeks. its going to look so weird!

the 33s come off and the 31s on stock rims will be on.

 

 

Thats about it! 1 touch of a button :shrug:

 

 

You put yours on stands?! Thats love!! Lol

 

I juust need a oil change and all the fluids checked for winter mode .

 

Winter??? Whats that?

 

Don't worry. I think that only happens on the East Coast. We don't have to worry about that in Cali...

 

i don't want flat spots on my tires

 

wow you dont fuck around with winter mode :lol:

 

If I had a truck like that I would probly do the same thing! :shrug: It would NEVER see snow. I dont know about it sitting for 4-6 months without driving it though...NOT GOOD! you do start it right? Im not a mechanic but I have heard that is not good for like seals and gasgets and stuff like that. They can crack if they get to cold and or dry! If you have been doing that for many years without any problems then forget what I just said! lol

 

correct you def should start it at least once a week imo. you can wait longer but im just super cautious

 

yeah i change fluids, hit the undercarraige with some undercoating in w/e spots could use it, put the z85 rims on (coated with bedliner) with michelin ltx m/s tires, throw a couple hundred pounds of sand in the bed, then drive the piss out of it all winter long. it maybe sees a carwash once or twice at most all winter. fighting road salt up here is a battle you just cant win.

i'll be sure to post some winter romping pics at some point.

 

Eh, Todd has had that truck for years, and AFAIK he has very few, if any, problems mechanically with the truck, so I'm sure he's doing something right.

 

nappt time for the victory red zq! id hate to see that porr girl in the snow todd....

as for my winter mode well............ its already hit lol

 

Here's my winterization. Gonna happen in a few weeks I figure.

 

will be this again unless I can find some winter wheels and tires

 

i got a set of z85s ill let go for cheap lol

 

i dont change anything.....I put these rims and tires are so i would have better traction in the winter....

 

Take off the xtremes and put on the zq8's
Take off the roll pan and put on the rear bumper

 

Thats not A bad idea for the roll pan

 

it doesnt snow here so....

 

 

chrome does fine in the winter....dosnt it?

 

they got a couple tiny spots on them last winter that I don't want to become bigger spots.

 

It's not the snow that really does anything to them, it's the salt and cinders and shit that is put on the roads to combat the snow and ice that tears up the nice wheels.

 

Winter time is when the fun begins, time to go to the track in the camaro hahaha
