Default Somewhat New (pics)

Well just thought i would stop in and say hi, been awhile since ive visited. Seems long enough to loose my username. In advance like to say love your rigs, partial to green but they are all looking good.

Not much new, the weather denies any modifications.

They are 12.50 wide so i dont know if the characteristics are the same but awesome in snow ( If deep 2' plus dont accellerate to hard or your done all the surface of tire pulling a tank does not work ) Slush, the weakest point. As for mud, surprisingly good. I expected the design to hold the mud, but it shot it right out. To be honest ivenever stopped in the middle of amud pit with 2 or so feet so i cant give youanything on that, but every time pedal on the floor it ran through like a champ.The treads gave excelent traction in stone creeks to wash off all that mud .

i have 10.5 and they hold up pretty well in the snow (i have them on the front) and goodyear silent armour on the rear.

we just got about a foot of snow about a month ago and i was really impressed with both sets of tires, and slush, no diff really.. still manage to stop w/o problems.

I have no idea where Rotterdam is, I've never even heard of it. I'm in southern Ontario, about half hour from Toronto

Nice.


But why weren't you out playing in the snow with it? I can never pass that time up.

Thanks for asking, but that wsa after it was warming up for 30 mins... Around 6:30 am before i headed into work... On the roads unplowed some 4x4 dounuts, and the roads with some left 2 wheel was good enough to drift almost the whole way into work... People complain about snow.. I grin Although during the wintery season im a plow driver so i kinda ruin it for myself, but i always seem to find untouched parking lots / baseball fields/ parks etc etc on the way home P
