I knew the trip to christmas dinner had the potential of getting my little travel truck stuck so I threw in some goodies before I left. I already had the big old dead TV strapped down for weight, along with my big tools, but I wanted to be better prepared so I threw in my hand crank pulley thing, two shovels and the big floor jack.
I’ve also got a brand new tow strap I recently picked up, which is totally useless because it has no hooks on either end. I think I’ll run to Ace today… Oh, I’ve also got a huge jug of water back there, all of which has the benefit of adding weight over the rear differential of my little rear-drive truck. So far so good this winter, my Hankook snow tires are amazing, I can brake on a buck, and I haven’t been stuck once.
Quite frankly though, I can’t wait to pull all of that nonsense out of there, make up my bed, and hit the road this summer!
Update: I just picked up some heavy duty hooks to go with that tow strap:
A more prepared vehicle you’ll never see . That looks great. Just be safe driving in that white stuff. It’s so dangerous. Good maintance right there.
Thanks Betty :-) We’ll see if I win this battle come spring…
