    I don't know if it is possible, but a shot of the snow from the top dump bed tailgate might be pretty awesome? It would be cool to see how far you can toss the snow on those deserted stretches...... How the snow rolls off the main and the side plows while seeing what is coming too.

    The first vid I saw was you in a 6x6 western star busting through big snow drift & there was a wing , then where you went to plow out for a stuck semi & you had a wing . Did someone steal it off your truck ? Haven’t seen one since
    The county roads we plowed if you got to 30mph you were moving , a lot more crooked & hilly than this .
    Snow rolling off the end of the wing is impressive
