My 80 has front & rear lockers (if the front will work), but the tires would be my biggest issue. I have one (maybe two) pairs of chains that will fit my "Metric 31s". Would that be a good option, or should I be looking for some 33s, something like these in Bakersfield? https://forum.ih8mud.com/tires-wheels/442507-285-75-16-km2s.html

we got to the trail head xmas eve at 9am and nobody was around (duh). so we decide to go solo. its me, my little bro Lance, and my brotherinlaw Chad. we get about 2 miles off dinky creek before it gets nasty. until then the snow is cold and icy and passable but then the sun comes up and starts to make it sugary

it takes us an hour to dig out a clearing so i can turn around. when i say "we" i mean my little brother and broinlas as i we only had 2 shovels and i was the driver

 

[Dusty]

but the humvee is a snow champ. all the clearance under the front and the diesel with low gearing makes it a wicked snow machine

cant wait til the new years run

The ground clearance clearly seen in the top pic of post 28 is amazing.

yep

i feel a little bad about how we left the trail. the humvee leaves a huge hump in the middle of the trail as it passes. Any differential on a solid axle is going to plow the hump unless said diff has some serious clearance
