What did you WITH your Ram this weekend

Had a little fun in the new snow we got. 8" of dry blowing snow means some good snow drifts. For anyone worried about the Vararam and getting snow up in it, if I didn't get it packed with snow after today, nobody will. Second picture is under the front of the truck. Only reason I came home when I did was the battery light came on and voltage was fluctuating. Now I know why

Pulled out a stuck semi todaySuper happy with these new Toyo's I got 2 weeks ago! Plus I got a case of MD for my trouble.
Sounds like a good argument for the front skid plate. You know you want one!
Have an aftermarket bumper on it. Would have to be custom made to work with bumper.
Yeah, looks good. Cut off the frame legs? That would need some extra brackets or something.
Yes, cut them off because they stuck out like a sore thumb looking at the truck from the side.
Ended up getting stuck this morning trying to help someone else. Drifts were deceivingly deep. 4' at least where I ended up. Thankfully a county snowplow came through and yanked me out, then cleaned up to where other car was and I was able to yank them out.

Nice. Where are you attaching if they don’t have recovery hooks? Front axle, control arm?
This guy had front tow hooks. Otherwise find someplace solid. Front cross member. SUV I yanked out backwards I used a shackle to hitch receiver.

with my truck this weekend? nothing much.
drove it to meet my friend who just picked up a 20 Gladiator with Mopar lift kit, winch, AMP research and 37s. His passenger side mirror didn't tilt up and down, and the BSM wasn't working. Chased all the wiring for an hour and didn't find anything. Then out of the "f*ck it" mentality I tried the other side. The moment I touch the connector on the passenger side the AMP power steps went haywire. Found the problem and fixed it in 5 minutes, then proceeded to admire (again) what kind of sh*tshow these powered steps can introduce to the truck.
Scored a free dinner for ~1.5hr of work and my friends witnessed first hand how pissed I get when I have to deal with mickey mouse design.

Not the weekend, but driving across Nebraska to go on a military waterfowl hunt. Truck is surprising me with gas mileage. Slight tail wind. Lifted, 35" tires with wheel spacers, and off-road front bumper. Have a video as well to prove this isn't a fluke picture while slowing down or going downhill 
So had a great time the past two days. Yesterday wasn't great, 40mph winds and blowing snow sucked in the pit. Ended up the day with 17 between 6 guys and was a long grind. They switched the groups up today and went with different guides. The place we went today was awesome. Sunny all day, light wind. Ended the day limiting out by 2pm with four shooters. That's 20 birds. And I for sure got at least five.
Results of first day
Second day pics. A selfie about halfway through the day, and our end of day pic with all the birds.

So, I'm not a waterfowl hunter, or any kind of a hunter for that matter....and I'm looking at this pic and I see a stack of dead geese and a bunch of live ones happily grazing in the background and I'm sitting here thinking "what the heck?, are they that dumb?" ( the geese I mean ! ) Like why didn't they all scatter after the first shot ?
I grew up in Ireland and my dad used to tell a story about 2 guys he knew who went pheasant hunting in the woods. Evidently one day a pheasant was roused in the bushes and took off running down the path ahead of them, as pheasants tend to do. One guy raised his gun, and the other guy said "whoa, you're not going to shoot him when he's running are you?" To which the first guy replied "no, I'm waiting for him to stop"
I guess the sportsman way to do it was to wait until he took wing and then try to get him. Maybe that's what you guys do.Anyway, apologies if this seems like a dumb observation, I just don't know anything about bird hunting !
