I've had a few people ask that I post some updates, so I decided to start a separate thread.

We have a 10K Equal-i-zer hitch that is 15 years old. It was looking pretty bad, so I had the hitch, sway bars, and shank blasted and powder coated. I also purchased new hardware. Here are a few pictures.

It sure sounds like it. Is your property located in the Cascade Range? It looks like the lowest elevation in the northern Cascade mountains is 605' feet at Goodell Creek.

Go for it. You don't need to worry about seeing (especially if drive slowly on backroads). It's everybody else's job to get out of your way and dodge the snow flying off your vehicle. :buttkick:

Come to think of it, "single cab" isn't particularly descriptive.

I don't think I've ever seen a vehicle with two cabs, but there sure is an awful lot that have more than two doors on a single cab.

Yup, it's amazing how elevation and location can influence weather. As an example, look at Rainier. It's considered the snowiest place in North America. The wind blows across the Cascades which lifts and cools the air, builds condensation, and dumps moisture. In essence, Rainier is its own microclimate. Gotta love mountain living!

As for New Mexico rural living news, this came through my email yesterday:

“Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will travel to New Mexico to highlight how the President’s Investing in America agenda is providing a historic $65 billion to ensure every single American has access to affordable, reliable, high-speed internet. The visit is planned as a part of Biden’s new 'Invest in America' tour."

Very nice. What's the tow rating for that machine?

I fired up the tractor yesterday to put the loader back on. To keep diesel exhaust smell out of the garage (and out of the house), I used flex pipe to pipe exhaust out of the garage. It worked perfectly.
