As the title says; fella's, how much SNOW have you personally driven through with your Runner? No bs, dont exaggerate too much we all know all 4runner owner have big balls, but lets keep it realistic. Ive probably driven through 12-18 max of fresh snow, not lifted with dunlop at20s, I hope to beat that this year with my daystar leveling kit and duratracs.

Snowpocalypse Chicago 2011

It was fun cruising around. 24" of solid snow cover with 36" drifts did just fine in 4HI. VSC was off. Lots of spinning, but it got through just fine. KEY: Momentum...

The best was driving by a stuck Mercedes G-Wagon

24+ inches leaving Sugar Mtn in NC during a snowstorm, after I had been snowboarding all day. This was at stock height, with 265/65 Revo 2's. As I was driving, I counted 80+ cars that had run off the road and gotten stuck. Made it home 4 hrs and 150 miles later... still snowing. For anybody that is in the central east coast area, I was driving by myself on I-77 south. Very rare occurrence. I got on it right after they decided to close it down. No problems whatsoever. Now I'm just hoping for another storm like that this winter!
 
24" It greatly depends on the composition of the snow. Wet snow and anything over the minimum ground clearance starts to quickly high center the 4R. Fluffy stuff I'm pretty sure you could tunnel through.
 
14" of wet, packed snow. i was dropping a buddy off after driving around all night exploring what the unexpected October blizzard brought. I decided to show off and drop him off at his door. That would mean driving up his long driveway of 14" of wet, slushy, packed snow that has not been touched in the 10+ hours the snow had been falling. I backed up, got stuck a little in 4hi, switched to 4lo, then what snow? things a beast never gonna be nervous in the winter

What part of NJ got 14" of snow in October??
 
It was in Long Valley. The storm basically split the state in half. Relatives in Brick got rain and a dusting. Up north got a blizzard. Thousands without power for up to a week, it was a mess. Luckily my truck allowed me to leave the house, ha.

Probably North Jersey, this was the crazy pre halloween snow the tristate NYC area got hit with. Trees broke b/c they still had their leaves & were weighed down.

Can't wait for the snow to hit!

Yea I know that. I'm from NJ - like 30mins from where Morris county is and we got nowhere near that.

the best is when you're the only one on the road with snow plows and full size pick-ups. Even better when i was driving the RAV4 lol. Not gonna lie, the rav made it through snow like nothing. not as good as the 4runner but i never got stuck in either.
 
I've gone through a good 10" of powder, course it was sideways, with the VSC off, but that doesn't matter.

Drifting is the bomb
 
About 15" up in Snoqualmie on a Wednesday evening after work. I-90 was about to be closed behind us as we headed up to go Snowboarding. So much snow there were no lines or edges to the road. It just rounded up to the sides! All the trucks and most of the SUVs/cars that go over the pass were to the side. Had on some Steel-studded snow tyres and just plowed through it all.

Did the obligatory doughnuts in the car park where we go snowboarding. They closed the road whilst we were up there for some avalanche control, so we stayed and had pizza and beer until they opened it...awesome night :D

I wonder if that was Thai's G-wagon :biggrin2:
 
2010 December snow storm - had to dig out my GX after it got high-centered on my driveway. 4Runner with 255/75/17 had no problem going right through the snow, including the snow banks piled up by the plows.
