Usually by now I've had "Big Dually" out for a couple weeks, shaking off the cobwebs, burning ridiculous quantities of gasoline, before the camping season starts in late May.
It's only ever seen salt roads once in its lifetime, long before I owned it... 12 years old now, 13 if you count the fact that the GM 2015's are out... 39,000 original miles. Hoping to hit 40,000 this season.
I just couldn't stand it anymore. Last Saturday Dad needed a tractor hauled. We were going to use his truck but I just couldn't bring myself to leave Big Dually sitting in the barn with such a lovely heavy load to move.
Fortunately it rained most of the night and the roads were clear and dry by noon. Got it safely back in the driveway before it started snowing Saturday night. Just in time because they salted the roads Sunday and it was wet and sloppy again.
Only problem, it got SNOW on it sitting in the driveway!!! It's never seen snow since I've owned it.
Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.
