lets see your ice rides

[coombia21]

please post pictures of what you use to get on to the ice along with a list of accessories

[SSCHOPSHOP]

76, CJ5, JEEP, 304 V8, Locker Rear End, Thornbird tires,Ice Digger Chains on all four, Home made V Plow, HEI GM Distributor, Soft top, Two Heaters. Only weights 2600 lbs. I leave the 700 Sportsman at home..

[coombia21]

how do you like it i had geo tracker for a week and hated it and sold it but i want something small like a jeep and i can get a good deal on it

[SSCHOPSHOP]

It just a toy but with a V8 there is LOTS of POWER. It just a blast to drive and plow or go in the MUD. I like the light weight on the lakes too. It just makes me feel safer, my full size truck is 5700 lbs.

TD,

what lake are you on in that pic. Way to wave the Canadian colors That's a lot of houses in the background.

[McGurk]

Hey SCHOPSHOP, how 'bout a few more pictures? Is that what you are using to get all of those stranded houses off of the lakes with? Looks like the right tool for the job!

[SSCHOPSHOP]

Its the TOOL, LOL. I thought I was going swimming on one day...

[trapperdirk]

Holy frig that thing is a beast in many ways . So do tell . Did you need to get winched back out of that slop and did you get those houses out of there in the end ? Looks like it could be a jacking job with waders on just to keep that beast from listing completely onto it's side .

[bak2MN]

What does that thing way? And what would you charge for one? Looks like it busts the snow!

[frogtosser]

look a little front end heavy, but moves the snow huh

[SSCHOPSHOP]

2600 lbs without the plow. The rolled backing plate on the plow is plastic, I can grab on side of the plow and flip it over. It lighter than my angle plow. A little Ford pulled me out with my stretch rope. Here is a pic. of a 6 foot drift on D.L. I broke through.

[trapperdirk]

Holy geronimo it just keeps getting better . Unreal what your moving with that baby . I don't think I'll get into a plowing match with you anytime soon .

Thanks for sharing the pics of your ride in full launching gear .

[SSCHOPSHOP]

V Plow is the only way with deep or hard snow.

[Dozer]

[SSCHOPSHOP]

This summer when all of you are fishing ( I don't like summer fishing that much ) I'm going to put new sheet metal, a clutch, 1st gear back in it, and paint it. I don't know a color yet? I painted my last one Yellow and black, with purple tube bumpers. It looked real nice, but in someone field, LOL it stood out like a sore thumb. Any suggestions???? It will be Base clear, I paint my own...

[Dozer]

I tore the one I had down to a bare frame and bare tub. I painted mine bright metalic green. If I had to do it again I would have painted it black, and wouldnt have sold it! Last I heard it is somewhere in the Staples area.

[gr8icefishinmind]

Use PPG's delfleet line of paint! Very tough and durable paint. It is actually their industrial line of paint! [You need Authorization]

[mrfish1991]

Straight up blaze orange and black

[SSCHOPSHOP]

blaze orange and black, I kind of like that.... I had a van I paint that way, brings back old times... But there again if a guy happens to accidentally trespass somehow, it really stands out. lol. I'd camo it but just can't see doing it to new body work...
