Show off Your TITS .......(if you have any)

I'd air down by about 10 to 15 psi - 20 at the most (depending on what pressure you normally run). If you are going to be going more that 30 or 35 mph, then i wouldn't drop the pressure more than 15.

Whoops, double post. My bad.

 

If he's driving on the street, air down is not what he wants to do. He wants to cut through the snow/slush. Not float on it. He wants to get traction on the road.

Just maintaining normal pressure is fine.

If there's ice underneath though, nothing helps but studs or chains.

 

This guy knows better than I do. I'm in south west Tn, we see snow once a year. But I've wheeled in snow before. That's where i got the air down idea because it helped alot..... yeah listen to this guy.


I don't know what the hell I'm talking about

 

ok thanks I've drove in snow a lot but like 3 4 inches in a civic but nothing this deep and not with a 4wd. Yea I won't be off-road I just have to travel on paved back roads that won't be scraped my county is so slack at plowing every year.

 

Just watch taking turns with regard to understeer and oversteer. 4wd on a truck can induce it to do both (since the back end is so light). Additionally, 4wd doesn't help on braking, on downhills, and on ice. So just be conservative and take your time. Brake on the straights, before the turn, not during the turn

 

A few pictures from a recent storm here.

 

As mentioned, skinny tires bite through the snow and give traction. Fat tires slip on top of the snow. It typically isn't the going that gives you problems but the stopping. Steer clear of people driving fast in 4wd vehicles. Find an empty large parking lot and try some starts, stops and turns to see how your truck behaves as it is currently equipped.

 

That's why it was normally pretty hard to get a Model T or a Model A stuck in the snow

 

I didn't realize you were that old.

 

Yeah, dagnabit! I remember when I was a kid we used to have to walk barefoot for twenty miles through a blizzard to get to school every day! And it was uphill! BOTH WAYS!! AND WE LIKED IT!!
Actually, I owned 2 Model As...

 

No problem in the Tacoma in NC!

 

Your Land Cruiser looks amazing
do you have a build thread?

 

We need more trucks buried up to their tits in snow

 

Mine went amazing this morning! It actually did a lot better on roads that hadn't been scraped or salted though! I'm out yadkinville good to see a local on here!

 

Looks like the East coast is getting Snowmageddon again.....Us Left Coasties always get the shit end of the deal

Awesome man. I'm in Boonville. Driving the back roads are the way I go. Better driving and less crazies!

 

After 30+ years of playing in the snow in big trucks, I'm perfectly content to sit inside by the woodstove with some hot chocolate and let the snow just pile up!

 

Still looks good doesn't it?
