What did I do TO..........
I beat the livin' @#$% outta it, abused it hard.
Tons of steering this way and that, shifting D to R, R to D, sliding sideways and trying to go straight.
But dang, did she perform perfectly. Snow flying up over the hood, it stopped me only once at the end of the driveway when the pile was so big I could see it way over the top of the blade and hood.
The drift in front of the garage was well over my knees and it walked right through it.

People Work?
Paying a shop to install a bumper ?
Time is money, and some people are more capable than others.
When I was working and making $125/hr, it made perfect sense to pay a shop to do that kind of work while I kept doing my thing and making more than they were charging.
Now that I am retired it's not something I would do, but I am in that middle zone now, and still capable. Ten years from now and I'd likely gladly pay someone else to do it.

Now Vivek can get to your door ?
LOL - good one.

On a serious note - my wife and I both thought - what if first responders, an ambulance, whatever, needed to get to us.......... there's no way in the world as deep as that snow was, and if they got DOWN the driveway, they'd never get back out going up that incline in deep snow.

Installed the latest and great steering gearbox and the synergy sector brace. Installed the Roofnest Falcon 2 RTT a few weeks ago.

I can help install, but I'm 2 1/2 hours from you.
I’ll make the drive! It’ll be a bit; just getting rails and a tonneau so it’ll take a while to save up for the bumper. I’ll save your contact info and holler. Thanks for commenting.

Gotta wait til it warms up a little anyway. We'll be working outside.
