Alex, What helps is lots of momentum to get through the snow. I put a aftermarket metal, under the motor shield, in place of the cheap plastic one from the factory. I've broke those in pieces before. So, with the metal cover under there you can hit the snow drifts hard and fast, LOL.

I have a Xbox 360. We actually bought it for my mother-in-law to exercise with the Kinect. Since she never used it, I borrowed it. Now I use it to watch movies. I only play it in the winter, mostly kinect games. That stuff actually wears you out.

For the truck, I am getting a 1.0 housing for the turbo, new external injector o-rings, and finally swapping over to the spare HPOP I bought around christmas time last year. (Also a shamed user that will remian anonymous, might let me use his injectors for a while. He thinks he bent a push rod in his PSD, and is now trying to get a Dmax running to drive until he can fix the PSD. He thinks I need new injectors, and he wants to prove it by letting me use his.)
