What did you do to your Trailboss today? 🛠️

after all is said and done, total price ? where did you find the hood ?
I got the hood from RK sport. Got the hood with curb side delivery in 5 business days after placing the order in perfect conditions. With delivery paid roughly $1500. Will have total in a few days after I pick her up from the body shop. ( The fitment was great just needed a few adjustments when mounting it )
 
I swept the snow off my truck with a Broom. Took a few 4 and 5 gallon water jugs three miles South to the town of Eldorado Springs where they have an Outdoor Coin-operated Drinking Water dispenser, at the Eldorado Springs-brand bottled water facility. Not much traffic after 8 inches of snow fell overnight, and temperature of 16F. Previous Silverado would not have made this trip. Trail Boss does it easily without even trying. Fun!

Added some Lamin-X yellow fog light covers. Not sure if I like them. Hasn’t gotten dark yet to try them.

thank you, found the RK sport ! its already looking tougher. do you have to replace the hinges ? you have given me something to look at doing for mine !
 
Note too I had 0 weight in the bed. Normally up here you want 800 lbs or more to ballast the bed down.
 
That’s pretty impressive! Since we only got 8-10” yesterday, my testing would b considered “unimpressive”! 😉

I am a disabled veteran, retired, and we live remote and this is our only transport so we are pretty happy. I had a Honda Ridgeline that would do pretty well but ground clearance would have it sitting and spinning all 4. This pig just grunts down, slight slip and pulls. I have never pushed that much snow on nose and was able to keep moving. Everyone up here loves their Jeeps but no normal stock Jeep would have made it through my drive yesterday. Our roads up here aren't plowed until snow stops, so no snow removal yesterday. My circular drive goes right into road and we are at the end of a 1/4 mile road that will be plowed today. Getting out can be difficult just from the drive when you have 3' of snow out there and its -10F which it was this AM. High today of 12F.
 
We don’t get that much snow here. Outside of the big snow belts. Great that the truck was able to make it thru with those duratracks!

Been debating this on my black boss as well. I was iffy because of the mustard/ketchup look with the hooks. Looks cool and yellow is definitely a fog light color.

Ballasting the bed is absolutley a good idea. But it can be a lot of work. I have had Eight Sandbags for years, 40 pounds each, that I keep in the horsebarn and move to the truck when needed. That is a minimum requirement. And now that I'm keeping a winch/receiver mount and other recovery gear in tubs in the bed, I'm working my way up to maybe 600 pounds.

This is why folks who drive in snow have no interest in Leveling Kits. My "Leveling Kit" is lots of heavy gear, dirt bikes, lumber, or a load of firewood.
