Studded tire recommendations?

that's a good story. Too bad you didn't take some pictures.

Those big domestic trucks are pretty awful in snow. They need 4wd to just be safe on semi slick roads.

I had a f250 4x4 that was absolutely dangerous unless I had it in 4x4. So imop if you need 4x4 to just be able to drive on roads..... it's crap. My old Mercedes with the nokians doesn't even spin a wheel,I can push that car thru like a foot of snow. Take a vehicle that is stable in 2wd then add the 4wd for the rough stuff and you will have a great offroader.

my land cruiser was pretty good in 2wd...heavy underpowered= perfect.

I was looking for the camera before I left as I wanted to take family pics up at the radio tower. It would have been nice to have a few pics to post on BC4x4 for the boys that run full size 4bs.

Even noticed quite a few full size trucks running BFG ATs and they were sliding while we inch forward. Don't they have the snow flake?

I don't know how BFG AT's ever got that snowflake. While they work well in soft snow, they suck royally on ice or hardpack. No siping at all, and a nice hard rubber that makes them last a long time but doesn't help ice handling one bit.

Almost local.... I'm up in Smithers...

I took that funny front bumper off it and now have an ARB up there.... was that old bumper off a JDM 80? With Japanese bling spotties?? They were huge holes.... and nicely cut. But it didn't matter as my wife demanded to have an ARB on there

You guessed it. Japanese bling spotties. Originally came with my HDJ. I swapped bumpers, then the bumper on the HDJ got demolished by a deer so I wished I'd left the holy one on it.

Turns out I need the chains after all! LOTS of snow on the Duffy and the plows weren't running fast enuff to keep it clear.
