There's some pretty damn hardcore prerunners kicking around, and not all are 2wd. If I lived near the desert I'd be driving a long travel beast.

You DO live in a desert...except it's a desert of snow instead of sand

I don't live there anymore, but ironically, there were some nice sand dunes up around Yellowknife, when they weren't snow covered

BTW, any enviro contacts up this way? I've had shit luck trying to break into oil/gas, so I figure I should join the Dark Side

No contacts that far north, but here are some observations of geologic consulting. The money is better in environmental but the "real geology" is in geotechnical (i.e. geology is maybe 30% of the job versus 10% for environmental). On the downside, geotech jobs slows down in the rain (at least in SoCal).
