Well.... It dropped under 90 degrees today here in south Texas. Of course it took until 7 PM to do so. Looking forward to our annual 4 days of winter! Probably not all in a row, though. (And by winter I mean when the temperature drops under 50 degrees....) 😂

It is, I brought it in from Japan for a friend of mine. I have a business bringing in specific vehicles from Japan and setting them up for off-road use for customers across Canada.

Glad you are enjoying it and glad your runner handles it well. What tires do you have? I live in upstate NY and love winter, when we get snow. Two winters previous to last we had temps below zero and many storms that dropped several feet of snow. I backcountry ski and snowshoe in the mountains which is one of the reasons I bought my runner. Last winter it was 40ish and rainy. It sucked! lol I hope it is cold as (hell?) this year and we get hammered with white stuff. I hope my stock Nitto AT's will do the job as well.

The green one is mine it is a Hildeberg from Sweden, vestibule is as big as the tent and it is light for a 4-person, about 7lbs so perfect size for myself, girlfriend and 2 Akitas. Can store our gear, have plenty of room, even cook in it if it is bad weather. When we climbed kilimanjaro a couple years ago, I saw several of them up there handling the winds fine. Have used it lots back country camping and a month long trip in the Yukon/Alaska canoeing the Yukon River, they are great tents.

Lucky guy! I'm from Buffalo so we're no stranger to snow but we usually have to wait till late October-November to get anything that accumulates. Two winters ago we got seven feet of snow in "Snovember" as it's affectionately referred to. SO epic. Didn't see a plow for a week, when they finally came to my neighborhood that's under a mile long, it took them twelve hours to get from the county road to my house with the pay loader. My neighbors had just had a baby and were running out of food so the newborn's father's father (who owns a construction company) sent one of his guys to make a one-car-wide path to get out. Way off topic, but one of those things you'll remember forever.
