Las Vegas snow run

Yes, there is still snow on the mountains surrounding Vegas. I went out with NVTTORA. Needless to say we didn't get very far before folks started getting stuck. All-in-all I think we may have made it 1 mile before deciding to turn around. The snow was deep and icy which made for a day of no traction. As for me, no stuckage. But I did have a problem pulling out a Lexus GX.

Airing down tires.


Then it begins.....



Just to give you an idea of the depth

 

Wow...more pics please!

That looks awesome!

 

Cool pics. Is it better to air down for snow or keep it at like 35psi? I thought it was better to keep them inflated.

 

Well the red 4runner aired down to 25 psi. And got stuck. Then when he was at 18 he had no problem. I aired down to 15 psi and had great traction.

 

Here's some vid that someone else took.

 

That Lexus is something else. I haven't ever seen a GX look like that before...

 

Yeah, I've never seen one like it either. It looks like it should be in African or Australia And it has full armor, except rear. After the past events the owner said he will be picking up front and rear winches.

 

And its a Lexus which makes it that much more bad ass! Its takes some balls to take a 40K + car and make it into something like that and actually use it!

 

And he DRIVES the hell out of it.

 

where near Vegas is this ? I always wanted to hit trails near Vegas but never knew of any

 

There are tons of trails around Vegas. This one particular is on the Pahrump sid of the Spring Mountains. Feel free to hit me up whenever you come to town and I will direct you to the best local trails.

 

One of my regular wheeling buddies drives a full size Lexus 450 (a caviar Land Cruiser). It's lifted with mudders, aftermarket bumpers, sliders, skid plates, a winch, etc. He drives it like a rock crawler. Just doesn't seem right but that truck is more capable than my Taco. Solid front axle, front, rear, and center lockers.

 

Is your frame bent there!?

 

No. I think it's an illusion.

 

no one ran with chains?

 

One person did. But I think the next one will be a requirement.

 

looks like a good time!

 

i think ive been on that trail. its not so bad, but then again there wasnt that much snow on the ground when i went. look like a good turn out.

 

dont mean to sound dumb but what is NVTTORA?
