    I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
    At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

    @soverylisa Před 6 lety +1

    This might be my favorite video of yours so far. Even though I will never do this, it was great seeing what was involved in modifying your truck to accommodate a plow. Anyone who lives in snow country appreciates a heavy duty plow that can open up a path to the main roads.

  • @MoHomesteading
    @MoHomesteading Před 6 lety +1

    Watched this with the man this morning..and everytime you panned across the battery and it was still connected...i think he shook his head..lol he was SERIOUSLY worried about your beautiful new truck..i just said ya know hes done this before....then i got questions like..wow well what does have to plow with that thing babe. He needs a farm truck...i just smiled and said," MASSIVE SNOW HUNNY!! Snow galore!! Hes younger than us..that is his farm truck!"..hehe...

    New formats, new ideas all good. At this point branching out into different projects alongside ''regular scheduling'', creating different contents will do nothing but good things; and keep bringing people coming in ( and give you a bit more creativity, now that you're a man of leisure lol ) If it makes any difference, I threw out my TV when I found this channel and the few like it - fascinating to watch how the stead is progressing and all the projects that'll happen. Thanks again for sharing and glad its allowing you to do it full time.

    Yes Al, we always seem to be trying to keep one step ahead of the N.H. winters! Our kitchen stove wood is in, but we have 3 cords of the big stove wood to get under cover. I am very impressed that you took care of the wire harness now. It is good to be prepared, with fewer last minute hassles. Thanks for the installation video! My little 2004 Tacoma is plow-less, but " Ruby" can make it up our snowy steep driveway 99 out of 100 times! A storm last winter, rained and froze under fresh snow. I almost made to the top, before the truck slid backwards, stopped by logs placed along the side. One of our Ford tractors had to pull it out :-). I still want a Kubota.......

    Sausage and Links can stay nice and warm in a frying pan. Mmmmmm. Tasty.
    Al, Have you ever worked for UPS? Going out in the cool temps in shorts is a UPS concept.
    I have a stack of yogurt cups with my tools. When I disassemble a car, I put the fasteners in the cups at the various stages of the job. It can be annoying to realize a screw or clip should have been installed a few steps ago requiring some back steps.

    Really good to see your knowledge with vehicle electrics... most people haven't even heard of using dielectric grease. I don't like scotch lock type wire taps either, they are always a cause of issues especially out side of the vehicle cabin where they are exposed to the elements.... pity Boss didn't make fly leads and connectors to keep everything OEM spec.

    Nice clean install except for the scotch lock connectors. I absolutely hate those connectors. You will eventually want to cut and splice those wires in by soldering them in. Lot less chance of pulling apart or corrosion. But it’s good you used the dielectric grease, it will help in the meantime. As always great video!!

    Gooood Mawnin' Al! So in a word....Envious! I'm a diehard Toyota fan with an '05 4runner and past owner of more Toyota vehicles than I want to admit. Watching you install the wire harness for the plow both makes me want a new pickup as well as a plow to put on it! If only I could justify it! I have only 128k miles on my 4runner so I feel like I've only just broken her in! I have a 4.7L engine, I can't imagine the power packed into the 5.7L engine, must be nice. Is your truck like mine in that it's always in 4 wheel drive? I get 22-25 mpg highway and find it really hard to beat for 270hp in a 4 door with a V8. Lastly, what happens to the warranty on the vehicle once the plow is on?

    • @LumnahAcres
      @LumnahAcres  Před 6 lety

      No I can put the truck in and out of four-wheel-drive. The plow does not void the warranty. I made sure of that before we bought it
