Only sticker on my explorer was an NRA sticker. Made sure to put it on the driver's side so if we ran into any flaming liberals they'd attack me and not my passengers

I hope that never happens to me, you have my sympathy.

The fruit of my labors has been delivered. Son in law seemed delighted with the new snowblower (that's probably a year or two older than him) when after unloading it from the van, it fired up on the second pull and motored up the driveway without any glitches. He's the one that shoveled most of the snow last year...
Thought it might be a good idea to lower the front of the 16' trailer so snow would have a better chance of sliding off. Wasn't a good idea, compresses hell out of the front axle springs, raises up on the rear axle. I doubt that would be good on the front springs to winter like that. Oh well, live and learn. I also checked the tongue weight, 620 lbs, Ural front wheel all the way to the front of the V, Honda sidecar tucked in close behind. About 1400 lbs between them. Wouldn't want to tow it this way, bit over 20% tongue weight if I did the math right, but I doubt I'd ever tow those two together anyway.
