Well I'm new to the pllowing scene. So you guys have any info for me? I'm looking to plow small residential driveways. I just bought a 94 Toyota with a 2002 Fisher minute mount plow 6.5ft. I paid $4,000.00 for it. Not a bad deal huh:cool: Is there anything I can add to the front suspension to stiffen it up a bit, that's fairly inexpensive?

Well here's a pic with out the plow on. I'll have some more pics this winter.:cool:

Well I just found a post about Timbrins...what are they exactly? All they look like is a taller bump stop?:confused:

****EDIT****

Well I just found this site www.timbren.com

So I now know what they do exacty. Is there another brand or another type of product like this?

A Timbren is an Aeon rubber spring,to help the suspension deal with the extra load of a snowplow.Do a search on Timbrens,lots to read.

Is that a light duty plow for the Toyota, or the standard duty? Do you know the plow model # and/or how much it weighs?

Radguy-
Those are some nice bikes there in the tacoma. Looks like a suzuki 2 stroke? I have a honda 230. How far are you from Newburg NY, or Westchester County?
I'm just over the border from Port Chester, NY in CT and am always lookin for a new place to ride.

Nice Radguy! 4000 G for the truck, not bad. I put a set of Timbrens on my Silverado and found there well worth the money. Ordered them from www.truckspring.com (http://www.truckspring.com)

KTM owner myself.

More snow please......

Great board.

never mind the throttle... better check that rear tire... looks like it needs about 30 lbs put in it

Thanks guys:D

I run a low air pressure to help keep the side to side wobble to a minimum...I can roll a wheelie to a stop so it has a tendency to fall to the side.

Wait until you see it on the ice:bluebounc :eek:
