My first real snow run with 80 completed.

[RedTacoma]

Ok so Yesterday we had our annual snow run. First one this year and it was my First full snow run with 80...
Well I have to say that 80 + Wrangler MT/R is one helluva combo. I engaged lockers once to pull out sunken Nissan. Not that I had to but I was expecting hard time getting my friend Nissan out of the Icy Water. It turns out LC is unstoppable on the snow.
Personally I got no photos since I was driving and helping out
but I got two videos that my friend made with my camera of course videos are of other trucks

It was awesome day even so was cold like hell. But as usually our group was making jokes and having fun to stay warm.


Some photos that others got (none really of my truck but gives idea of how much fun it was)

Thats the only photo I have climbing that big hill.

The only time I have had a problem in the snow is where it gets too deep. I can plow through some snow but eventually not enough weight gets to solid ground and all four tires spin and spin - much like mud but without the dirty cleanup.

the nice clean snow looks like great fun.


(the muddy ice water not so much if you get stuck... good idea to attach the strap *before* you get in... )

Its was definitely fun, especially powder part.
Last year on snow run I jump into the water since my truck got stuck. Hence a comment on the video as the reference to that mishap.
We had probably 20 Toyota Trucks plus 1 Ford ranger. There was good amount of breakage but only on one truck.
Guess which one?

Anybody in NorthEast can join on snow run scheduled for February 21
