Hi Fellows!
Went out this last weekend driving in the snow, unplowed in CA..found a trail that had about 2' on the trail... I promptly got stuck when trying to turn up a section which was slightly uphill...
Tried to reverse, couldn't move.
Tried to go forward couldn't move.
The tires were just spinning as maybe the ground was frozen underneath..
Diffs and control arms were sitting on the snow, dug it out and still was just spinning..
Specs:
Lifted on brand new 35" falken Wildpeak AT3w's
Center diff lock was engaged
T-Case was in low
Aired down to 20psi
Would (4) chains be the move for off trail deep snow?
Is this a situation where those recovery boards come in handy?
Do I just need to get a @NLXTACY turbo?
I used the winch to get out, mind you I've used it for other vehicles although my 80 hasn't been stuck so that was fun to use it for myself..
I had the girl drive while I winched maybe I should have let her drive the trail instead...
