Man- for a truck wanna be that rig looks Good!!
Sorry- couldn't resist- I prefer the full size trucks over little ones!!
(doesn't matter what brand they are! Lol!)
I like the setup, it really looks sharp, and should do real good for you this year!
Good luck!

Posted my response before all of your pictures hit the system- What are you running for liquid de-icer?
That is a slick setup! I really like it now, and you should do well this winter!
How about some more details on the truck?

That little Toy[ota] looks like its set up pretty well! I would also like to see more pictures and have more information about your liquid setup!
I resized one of your pictures, it ended up pretty small due to the 50x50 constraints, but you can use it for your avatar if you'd like :waving

Thanks guys, I can post some more pictures and info of the setup within a couple of days. The short of it is a 45gal. storage container that has been sealed, has fill on top. I ran standard washer machine hose to a custom 3/4" pvc loop of piping with 5 fan spray nozzles. The pump is 12v and puts out about 5gpm. I am not getting the pressure I would like. I need to go with a smaller dia pipe in order to get better pressure. It will work for this year and I will rebuild over the summer. More pic to follow :)

Great looking setup. The Spray rig is nearly completely consealed until you look closely. Should be a great little truck for tight spaces.
I like it.

VERY nice setup WoofsPlow. I too am interested in the de-icing system. Here in the west the only ones doing deicing is the DOT - no one private. Grasshopper and I have been looking into it and can get the de icer but we are unsure of its practicality here. I think the possibilities are here but we're both a little apprehensive about getting into it. I have two tree spraying trucks, and I think they could be used for this so I am half way there.:)
My GMC? About 12 - 15 MPG on the Canadian gallon. It's one thing that's bigger than the Texan :D

I am looking at a deicing set up for next year- I am really interested in a liquid set up for a large lot- if it ever stops with the lakeeffect I will do a little more research on the topic. Hey Woofsplow- did you ever get your issue with your plow mounting resolved? I remember you posting somthing in another thread about a pin hanging up when you went to disengage it. I think it was over in the Minute mount thread under the fisher plow area. Just curious- wasn't sure if the liquid deicer in the back might have been throwing the weight distribution off in your truck and putting pressure on your pins.
