    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    There are some extreme builds such as the guys from ToyTec like Dillion that I am sure could do 2 foot but I would also think that there are some milder builds like Crashmans that you might want to take a look at. He put in the wrench time and thought it out. Pretty nice and probably closer to a...

    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    I don't know how you wheel but you camp pretty hard core. Those temps, stock truck, getting below the sleeping bag rating but using ingenuity to do so, an hour from the truck, in that area, in a pile of snow(first time doing it!):wow:. My hat is off to ya sir..... You da man!!!! I am...

    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    Wow, that is cold for recreational camping. Glad everybody is safe. Sounds like you did'er right. Sometimes just slowing down can make or break a trip in snow. Congrats:trophy: Hey, how did you build that shelter? Is it big enough for 3 people?

    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    Techno, I really do not want to get into a flame war. I have said it before and I will say it again. We all have our own styles. They are based on our experiences which are always going to be different from one another. I would not like this hobby if we all did the same thing with the same...

    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    Techno, We all wheel with different styles, as I stated before. Sounds like your style is just a bit more conservative. I have been wheeling for decades all over this country and even in some others and have my style. I have built several rigs from the ground up. It runs more to the 2WD in and...

    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    JB I think you have it. I grew up in Missouri (snow and ice) and then spent time out in CT on the coast. Boy do they get lots of snow. I have spent lots of time with snow. There are times chains are the proactive answer but if it is getting to that point, turning around is probably the answer...

    Advice/tips for offroading in snow???

    Telling people where you are going and carrying food and water are life savers:iagree:. I could not agree more. The come-along is good but make sure you have planned out the recovery points on your truck that you could use if you need them. BEFORE you go out. Depending on where you go, you may...

    HELP...my Runner is dead

    Np, I did not realize how fast I got up to the top. That whole run was less than 3min from when I started up the Jeep to sitting on top of the quarry. I (meaning my wife) on the other hand got his run from start to finish. Have him ring me up. I think we already got that video. It was good to...

    HELP...my Runner is dead

    To shed a little light on this and not to give him too much grief I was spotting for him and saw what caused this. This was a step grade with several large rocks that required some pulls on the driveline with rocks at/just above 9o'clock rock to wheel. Max strain:ybrick:. There were also several...

    November 25th Wheeling (CO)

    BTW: TMach that point did not require lockers. They would have helped but the others got through without them. Look into tires and lift/articulation. That point really came down to setup and picking the right line. Lockers sound like they will cost a couple thousand for 4Runners. That same money...

    November 25th Wheeling (CO)

    Thank you everyone, great pick on the trail. I have to hand it to you all for pushing the limits, knowing when not to and then helping each other out. It was a really great day of what 4Wheeling should be. B I hope the damage is not too bad but I am guessing a trip to the salvage yard is in your...
