    Well, the duratracs made the snow kind of boring this morning. Amazingly good traction. Granted this is all good traits for winter. My subaru before would of been sideways all morning!

    So far the Grabber AT2's have been nothing to complain about, I just have to get used to a truck's weight distribution and not all-time AWD :p The 3000gt is an awd tank in the snow (yeah had to drive it one winter) with a 55/45 weight dis so... once I get used to the truck I'm sure it will be just fine... and maybe some sandbags

    Eh, a 7-10 degree grade. The mucky stuff is like a sponge, tires just sink. Plus the snow added quite a bit of slippery fun to it!
