This is why people hate america. Haha.

Everyone else trying to find food and survive and you’re spending your time building some redneck contraption.

It’s only silly if it doesn’t work...

From Urban Dictionary:
“MacGyver”
verb, to MacGyver is to juryrig something out of the items around you.
(As seen on the TV show MacGyver, starring Richard Dean Anderson).

So, rather than just driving through the couple inches of snow on the driveway, you now have 2 foot piles to drive over blocking the street - brilliant

Nope... it was pushed against the side of driveway... in most places it is illegal to push snow to the street...

The reason you have a T4R is so you don't have to worry about 2 inches of snow !!

Way to think outside the box.

Haters gonna hate.

I think it must have taken him longer to hitch up the chains and the "plow" than it would have taken him to do it with a shovel. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should!

You mean the one minute it takes to connect the chains to the 4Runner? It’s a 3stall garage and takes about an hour to shovel vs 8minutes to “diy plow”...

It was only 2” at the time I removed the snow but ended up getting 8” of snow... common sense and good math says I gained several hours to do useful stuff (like watching tv), saved my back and prevented a heart attack usually associated with shoveling.

Your quote doesn’t apply here...

AMEN.....

he has a 4runner and wasted time and effort doing this??? when he could have just driven through the snow.. some people. :der:

Yeah pretty silly but with the added benefit that it actually worked so there is that.

For version 2.0 you should attach something to the rear hitch instead.

It's functional... it seemed to work well...

My question though is, what happened to your gas fill door?

That seems like a lot of effort to avoid some good hard exercise, LOL. I give you points for creativity, tho!

Rust destroyed the door hinges and eventually the door fell off... Mechanically this 4Runner has been reliable (300k miles) with no major issues but rust is taking over...
