With sections like he was on, my buddies and i will cut a trench on the uphill tire side, it helps to level out the COG and locks the uphill tires in, preventing what happened to the FJ.


It's not been since I was a kid, but my dad and the other families have done this a time or two as well.

My great grandpa was an avid fisherman and was often the first one on several of the lakes each spring.  He drove a beat up 2wd Chevy truck that he used a hammer to bang out the dents.  My dad says that he used a bar that he'd drive into the ground so that he could winch to it and would open the road to the lake one length of the winch at a time.  I guess this is another tactic to get through the snow...
