I'm working on driving 12 consecutive months with my rod. The plan is to drive at least 75 miles over each of the winter months. Last year we got snowed in by the first week of Dec so I fell short. This year I already have Dec miles in. I even drove it yesterday to our Sat breakfast. It snowed a couple inches last night so by tomorrow the roads will be clear. It looks like I'll get the Jan miles in next week. Feb will be the big question as we can get really cold and lots of snow. The blower really likes the cold air. However you can't really step on it as the de-icer stuff is pretty slippery for fat tires. Already tried it. haha Mar is usually our thaw month. It can get pretty wet and slushy but the body is fiberglass and I can wash it pretty easily. BTW the Vintage Air heat and AC works great. there are 3 other guys tryin gto do the same thing so we'll see who is really hardcore.
