Works amazing, we use it a lot when driving at night to keep an eye on the side of the road for deer and moose. That’s a 6v helphos too, it’s about as bright as a standard 12v headlight.

We have the correct early Autofum power socket in the glove box. You can see the cord going into the glove box in this picture.

We started a snow picture thread elsewhere on this forum and Everett directed us here. I must say that this is a very long and old thread. Just skimming through it I see some fairly impressive amounts of snow in a few of the pictures but I have not seen yet the kind of snow we get here.
Ours is the kind you can walk on top of. There's a '92 Jetta in this drift.
And after the plow goes through...

I found an oldie from my photo stash.
Way back there, under that big lump of snow is a single cab.
It's this truck. Wish I had kept it.

No, it's last year's pictures. The weather this year has been a bit frustrating, fiddle farting around, snowing off and on since September. Not snowing enough to do anything with and not warming up enough to melt it all and do the regular fall outdoor things. Hence the cabin fever already. Maybe post a bunch of pictures, talk about it and the weather will either poop or get off the pot!
Well - it's worth a try... |

Woo Hoo! Those aren't banana belt photos! 
There may or may not be a VW under there, we will know for sure come spring. One more blow and the horse will be over the 8' fence though!
Anyway if it turns out there is no VW then these shots qualify under "reader's rides". If she doesn't hop the fence and disappear that is! |
