Man, am I tired. Got in about 8:30 from the snow run. Really well attended. Too many to list, but 12 trucks showed, 11 went for it. Slippery trail, with lots of different terrain. Several steep shelves took samples of our skidplates, diffs,sliders and bumpers! LOTS of stuck trucks. Seems some had an easy go through one spot, and would get dug in in another spot. Some girls came along, and I brought my sons, and their buddy along for the ride. I want to say thanks to everyone for being so really nice to the kids.... well, we were ALL kids in the snow today.
I cannot believe HOW CAPABLE these trucks really are. Most were locked, or at least had mudders. Most were the typical lift setups; coilovers and rear springs. We don't flex as much as the SAS trucks, but we probably don't need to, from what I saw. I am not a big fan of airing down, but for this work it was necessary. I got down to 10lb. the lowest I have ever run my tires. With some healthy go pedal and disregard for sheetmetal, I only got stuck ONCE!! And, as a bonus, I didn't have to get towed, just needed a passenger bouncing in the bed for a hairball ride up the hill! And, I did it on Goodyear a/t's, not mudders. And, no locker. Learned how much some axles drag in snow, even with 35's. Got some video, not great, but got LOTS of pic's. Will post some soon. And Dan, you are John's hero. He thought you were the best, letting him assault the rock garden with you!!! Your truck should be called BULL TACO. That thing is BAD,BAD,BAD! :xdevil:
