    Love it!

    @mach1man001 I tried pushing through some ice in that last video but I got scared half way through. Any wise words? Awesome idea? Noob status? I felt a bit over-zealous so I backed out and came around the open water.

    I heard from the other guys that at certain points I was either breaking the ice with the OEM skid plate or tires.

    The danger of its too deep is having the ice chunks pierce the radiator. Otherwise it's fine unless it's really thick, then you could bend the stock skid

    X2 What Seth said. Especially if you don't know how deep the water is. It's even harder to determine the depth of the water when you are looking at it as ice.

    Tried that once. Was much deeper than it looked, got stuck halfway through. Bent up the aluminum skid doing it.

    Anyone been to the Arcadia Management area in RI?

    The area looks huge! I think im going to go exploring there this week some time. My luck, there will be no motor vehicles allowed but there are so many entrances, Im thinking i should be good.

    Im on vacation all this week except for Thursday so anyday would be fine with me, just let me know. This is pure exploration though for others enjoyment in the long run. We may get there and then there being no trucks allowed and have to leave or we may get there and take hours to explore. Just wanted to give you the heads up

    A lot of the class 6 roads are closed for winter. There are a few towns that allow 4x4 on the trails but the majority are closed and are used for sleds. Just a FYI. Hate to see you get in trouble.

    :oops:

    It looks like they still have a bit of snow too. I think I'll take my snow shoes up there instead and have a peak around

    Thank you for the heads up

    yeah the snow and ice makes everything more difficult. I know heniker class 6 are open year round.ive been out there many times. You can call the town office and ask if there class 6 are open to 4x4s . If you have a specific town you're looking to go to.

    That's fine I'm wanting to explore the area since I haven't had the chance to go off-road yet and would like to try before the real winter weather shows up. Only days I'm working is Thursday and Friday so whatever works best for you. Maybe we could shoot for Wednesday?

    I did a class 6 in Epping NH yesterday and it was definitely not fit for trucks.. Had to turn around half way down the trail - that was a shit show. Thankfully I packed recovery gear - tugged a guy for almost an hr..
