Yep can't wait. I thought the tires were on backwards! Gonna save my pennies for a plow next. That will be a great winter excuse along w ice fishing. I still enjoy plowing w my jd tractor/ loader but for the 1-2" storms it is hardly worth using a backhoe

the argo has landed, amazing in the swamp. what fun. Thx for all the work and help on the board and junkman and whiteflag outfitters for putting together a great machine. (note, drifting sideways at 20 mph with adair tracks on asphalt is a lot of fun too)

Wow, a camper special with the tool box doors still attached to the box. In my part of the country old trucks don't usually look that nice. Cool rides.

very nice looking machine, I like that 1984 big red also. Used to have one the same until I bought a new 4x4 atv in 2000, Walked home that first ride with it because I thought I'd go thru the trail I always rode with the 3 wheeler, not a chance, no 4 wheelers could make it thru, I never tried again, it's a winter trail only, well just got my argo a couple weeks ago and went for a ride, my son says let's go thru that trail, I thought what the heck, Big Mistake, good thing I had a winch cause we were on the hook many times and never did make it thru, ended up finding a spot to turn around and winch myself out the way we came in. A set of adairs from the vid's I've seen would have walked thru but I wouldn't try it again with tires. The trail is tight but I figured 8 wheels and an admiral tranny no problem to walk thru it, well even in low range buried in crap and try to turn , you need some traction to turn, I'm sure after more practice it will get a little easier and more user friendly but without tracks I'll never try that big red trail again.

Sounds like quite a trail. My trails are the opposite or I need to ride the big red better! I have never driven a amphib before this one and never driven without tracks so I assume I am spoiled.
The truck is a 79 trailer special, nicknamed "thirsty." (557 cubic inch motor)
