Tomorrow I have to cut the stabilizer links and weld in an extension, as they are about 4" too short now.

You have a guy who hates the winter looking forward to our first snow storm.

Damn break it down, can't touch this. This is my 1st post on this thread but this masterpiece is something for the Yaris book of world Records. Look out YW the Discovery Channel is next.

yeah - the first video of Crashy pushing around snow will be EPIC.

I seriously think Toyota should be paying for this.

TinyGiant · 11-29-2009, 12:26 PM

next should be the 4x4 conversion :)

TinyGiant · 11-29-2009, 12:27 PM

after the turret of course

No snow yet, but with the plow frame and suspension mods complete I had to try it out. So, I decided to scrape up the garden a bit.

I gained plenty of ground clearance to be able to drive Crashy up the hill behind the garage to get to the garden:

I was amazed as to how well Crashy pushes the plow. Since the plow isn't hydraulic, it's only down pressure is its own weight, so it doesn't dig deep. Still, going across the garden it was dropping into low spots and popping rocks out of the ground. The tires never slipped, even though it was a bit muddy from the rain we had the past couple of days.

Best Yaris ever. A smoke stack exhaust up the passenger's side would be awesome!
