Doing an itty bitty amount of forest service road exploration over the Thanksgiving holiday. Wildpeaks really do well on snow. There wasn't a single instance of slippage on this little trek.

Yor 4R looks good. Where did you go? What Wildpeaks and size did you go with?
I found that same kind of stuff around the Mt. Ellinor trailhead near lake Cushman. 10 miles down a FS road you find several different sites with 40 year old RVs that look like they've been camped there for years. It was weird. Haven't encountered that in the Cascades.This is Forest Service Road 2918 I believe in Olympic National Park. It's maybe 3-5 miles west of the end of Lake Crescent. Here: Google Maps
The whole area kind of skeeves me out as I always seem to come across nothing but sketchy people and sketchy situations out there. Don't know what it is, maybe the "Ted Bundy" effect, but people out in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific Northwest are way creepier than people out in the middle of nowhere in Texas. Be better if I could find a way to not go out solo.
Anyway, they're just p-rated 265/70/17 tires on powdercoated TRDOR wheels with Spidertraxx 1.25" spacers and a Cornfed 1" spacer lift.
20 inches of snow! Stock tires did surprisingly well.

I love the black Valance. I'm curious How you did it. Did you plasti dip or find a black Valance to replace the stock?
I just pulled off the TRDOR valances, sanded them down with wet sand paper as much as I could stand, and went over them with a few coats of matte black automotive paint from O'Reilly's or Lowe's or something like that. I'm not a fan of plastidip.
Any chance we could see a detail shot of it? Curious what the texture looks like. It’s not a bad idea.
