Took the truck in the mountains to do a shakedown run. Truck did good in the snow and stuff. Was wheeling in about 3 feet of snow on the top of the mountain. It would of been deeper if it didn’t rain all last week. I only took pictures coming down the mountain because I didn’t have the proper gear to jump in the deep snow and I didn’t feel like being wet.

During my active wheeling days, our club runs to the snow every year has been some of very best memories.

Our favorite spot was Woods Canyon Lake above the Mogollon Rim at about 7,700 feet elevation.  Once we got off-highway, a couple times I put tire chains on all 4.  Being locked front and rear, which made a very noticeable improvement in traction. Otherwise, I aired down to about 4 lbs.  Anything deeper than about 18” was just too deep for most of our rigs, and plowing was too slow.

After 3 or 4 hours of plowing through snow on roads we weren't sure what was under the snow, spin'n and grin'n, snowball fights, getting unstuck, being pulled behind a vehicle on a snow disc, and getting cold feet and usually a little wet, meeting at the warm restaurant in Payson on the way down the mountain for an early dinner was the highlight of the trip.

Those were good times!! :gap:

Wheeling in general is good, but the snow runs to me are better because you get to get out of your truck and interact with the family and fellow truckers playing snowball fights, tackling, making snow angels, making snowman, etc.

Played in TAHUYA ORV park in WA @ the Sasquatch hill. It was raining hard and muddy all day. It did good considering the conditions

It really is a great truck for traveling. If you were selling it, I'd even want to buy it. I think it's good for more than just landings and steep climbs. But I'm glad there are brave people like you who can improve the machine and work on it for years, you know. I usually drive my truck from Ingrace Motors off-road, even coming to Argentina. I read an article about the company Ingrace Motors now competing with Innoson. And I'm not surprised if they dominate the automotive market. I discussed this topic a lot with friends. Probably, you've heard about how divided opinions are on this now. And you already know my opinion. Would you guys like to share your thoughts on that?
