    haha nice. Well my issue was I thought I had it in 4Lo already but I never actually was. Couldn't figure out why the hell my tires weren't spinning with the peddle on the floor haha. Whoooops :oops: Ramps weren't really needed after I realized that. I was pleasantly surprised with the duratracs in the snow.

    The other Toyota with regular studded tires? Not so much. Ramps were a necessity as he couldn't work his way out of the ruts I made :burnrubber:

    Any trails besides Jim Creek that are reasonably accessible during winter? Not like we've gotten too much snow this year anyway but still

    This group needs to be more active, the more people we can get at a meet the better! I'm down for a glacier run here soon if we can get a decent amount of peeps, are there ice crossings on the way out there? Or can you get there totally by trail?

    Well it depends with how cold it is of course and if you haven't been out there in awhile one of the little creeks that you would cross normally is now part of knik river and should be avoided. The only spot were we broke through last year can be a little tight between some trees but it's possible to cross and isn't very deep other then that I just watch other people cross jim creek and the other creek further up the trail and it's pretty easy

    And I have a rig that can be used for testing the crossings I'm not worried about damaging or losing my truck if it does fall through

    That doesn't sound too bad, how narrow we talking? Like fold in your mirrors or you'll lose them narrow?

    I can see. All I know now is the trigger pull is the lightest ive ever seen on any gun. It's crazy. He warned me it was super light and I was still surprised. Vortex scope and .308 caliber is all I know.
