Sooooo 50* weather today. Everything is melting! Had to do some snow wheeling, but EVERYTHING is a sloppy slick mess!

Also since its been WARM and RAINING in Alaska, 95% of the snow was melted in my bed, so I cleaned it out, and pushed the tool box to the rear, trying to put a little more weight over the back tires. Dropped the PSI ~5lbs in the rear tires as well, and it helped IMMENSELY

Poor thing can't stay clean for longer than a day. With all this rain and melting snow, its a sloppy mess.

How the hell is it 50 and raining in Alaska, but in the 20s in New York??

Truck is looking good. Does shifting the box really make a difference? I mean it only moved back 4 ft.

I'm not sure if the shifting of the box would have done much because 1) Its an aluminum box, and not very full. But puts the weight OVER the back tires instead of inbetween all 4 and 2) I deflated the rears as well so that is what helped the most. The tread on my tires is a hard rubber, coupled with one of the harder sidewalls I've ever ran, so it was like ice skates. I normally run with sandbags or something (my 4wd is still acting up, but only about a week before I can tear into it and put the 44 under it!) but this is just for now. And, I can access the tool box easier now.
