Made another firewood run on Saturday afternoon without any snow. This time with the sides on the bed allowed for a nice full load with the overload springs well engaged. It drove fine but would have liked the lower (stock) axle gears if this was to be a regular occurrence, or more power. Brakes worked well but I didn't want to need them. More/bigger/better brakes sure wouldn't hurt.
Here are a few photos on the way home.
