I got to use my winch the other day... a neighbor slid off her long driveway. It was steep and covered in about 4 inches of slick ice. I slipped and fell 4 times just getting the winch hooked up. There was no way I would have made it down there to pull her out with the truck.
The recovery went without a hitch (other than my soreness after my falls!) But, getting there caused a little damage... leaving my garage of all things! I have about a foot of solid ice that I have to drive over exiting the garage. It was particularly slick and, as my front end exited the door, it slid back forward and sideways. I have to fold my mirrors to fit int the garage and I had already unfolded them... here's what happened:
I super glued it back together for now:
It might bother me enough to buy a new piece... but my truck is so covered in snow right now that I can't see it.
In other news... I want to finally buy those diode dynamics SS3 pods to replace my stock fogs. Do any of you know whether to get the standard or the round lights for our application? (I think maybe round...) Also, do you know what kind of plug our stock fogs use? (so I can get the right adapter) I'd rather not crawl under the truck, if any of you know... still snowy out. (I haven't seen bare ground since October!)
Thanks for the help guys.
