Greetings fellow mudders

went on a little glacier trip the other week and thought I´d share some pics, show how we wheel in the north :D

we went on 2 cars a Izusu trooper 1998 and a Land Cruiser HJ-61 1987.

Here goes.

my cruiser and the driver of the Trooper.

the idea was to get up there.

and then suddenly the snow got very deep and very very wet.

that´s where we decided to head the other way.. no way we could have made it up that thing with the snow so difficult

and the cruiser was used to plow the way (front rear lockers, and axles are much better in these conditions than the IFS system on the trooper).
