Re: 12/27
Not a bad little shake down run. I wish we had more snow. I'd say there was a solid 2 feet of snow with deeper drifts here and there. It was too wet to take many pictures. Visibility was so poor there wasn't much to see anyway. On the way out it was near white out conditions during some of the heav...

Re: best all around snow vehicle?
Either rig will work great. Big tires (flotation), lockers (traction), low gears (ability to turn tires slowly), and light weight (helps float on top) are what you're looking for in a snow rig.

To much drama, under built rigs, lack of seatbelts, pretty country and follows the same format as ice road truckers and axe men.
But I'll keep watching.

Re: Snowwheeling in AZ......?
Old thread but
When I was down there the Mesa wheels went up to the Strawberry area. We got stopped pretty easy in the deeper snow but they where not great snow wheelers at that time and I was just learning.

Re: Fubars snow jeep build
Wow, quit the run around. One, think your making way more work for your self than needed. Snow is a game of traction, not really hp like sand, low gears and technique are your friends in snow. Not to say hp isn't needed sometimes but not as often and a 4cyl will work just fine. if making a dedicated...

Re: More traction, Opinions please...!
Selectable of some flavor, be it e-locker, arb, or zip would be the best idea.
I believe the tru-trac would be a nice compromise too, TT work well in the snow, a little brake pressure help them trick them into be more lockerish.

Re: New treads on their way!
This should be interesting.
I have seen the 14.50s suck in the snow but the 12.50s have a bit of different pattern, closer to the old buckshot. Always wondered how the narrower tire would work.

Re: Naches trip
With these two Jeep, pushing happens quite often and works very well. Also during this run, pushing was the only way the Jeep could move, one couldn't get enough traction to push thru by its self. Being pushed wasn't always enough either, the picture with just the tops is me at the closet tree becau...

Naches trip
Not much snow yet so I'll throw this out from last December. Not really good at linking, so the first three are videos and will probably kick you off to photobucket. Think the 3rd one down sums up the day the best. http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i378/rjewing99/12-1-12_snow/th_IMG_0088-1.jpg htt...
