    For years my winter beater was an old 1987 Toyota 4-Runner. I just sold it last month and picked up a 99 Cherokee Sport.

    Man, a high temp of 20 today, and a HIGH temp of 7 tomorrow!

    4x4 and killer heater, what more could you want in the winter?

    Not to mention the tailgate chains on the single panel tailgate and a wood bed for that traditional feel [​IMG]

    Hey Hatch, nice S10. How about some "fake" redlines (on the wheel lip).

    My new winter "beater" is my new Canyon crew cab I pick up tomorrow! [​IMG] This replaces my old friend, an '87 Bronco II.
