here's a couple from this past weekend
didn't manage to get it stuck, and the only times i had to use reverse were because i was trying to climb the sledding hill above the ski resort and it got too steep
also, right-click on any pic and choose "open in new tab" to see the full pic scaled to your screen. it seems the image resize options aren't enabled on the forum.
I know you guys like snow pics

Re: I know you guys like snow pics

How well does it work in that compared to the other local trucks up there?

Re: I know you guys like snow pics
thanks guys!
mileage is somewhere around 2mpg, i don't know what it is in that much snow vs on a snowy road but you can be sure it suffers, it will pull low 2nd if it's flat with that much snow but not up any kind of incline. lots of it i'm just cruising around in low 1st and setting the speed by listening to the engine.
these tires work great in the snow considering i don't have any lockers installed, still just open diff. i think any comparable truck with tires this size wouldn't fare as well, with most mud tires. i haven't got anyone to come play in the snow with it since it's been this deep though. a 4runner on 44's i rode in a few years back, even with lockers, seemed to have a much harder time than this one does.
i'm hoping to get out this weekend and get some more pics. we've gotten more snow since then.
what would it take to enable the resize tag option? something like [img=800x600] {image link} [/img]
it should be an option but it seems to not be enabled.
the wipers aren't connected yet, but that's something i should do in the near future. the biggest issue is tight trails with overhanging branches and brush loaded with snow that dump off as you drive past them and load up the hood just in front of the window and on the window, making it really difficult to see anything
