winter playing pics !

ha recently ive been playin in the snow a lot and seen my truck drag me out of some pretty nasty "oh now im screwed" stuff mostly in 2wd since my t-case sounds like ww3

so far ive been burried pretty good only pulled out once though..it happened today down a back road cruisin with my girl goin through the drifts i must have hit some hard snow wound up doin a 180 on the road and sideways in the opposite ditch ...since i was in sideway 3 of my tires were surrounded by hard drifted snow (hard enough to support all 165lbs of me) on 3 sides the other one was in the air hehe someone came along with one of those avalanche things but it was enough of a tug to get me moving then i drove right on out



yeah it was a gooder...i backed into a ditch...pretty much the same scenario but since i went straight in i got out in 2wd in about 5 mins...snow was just as deep and hard


lets see your winter pics to help lighten the mood

Awesome pics! You should take some vids of your truck in action.

I was once pulled out by a HD Chebbie. I don't feel tainted. Then again our hot rod is a Chebbie so maybe I bleed both Blue and Red.

I hate the cold, but I'd love to wheel in snow like that sometime.

To bad I live in Texas... I'll have to make a road trip eventually I guess.

Okay man, you're in! You bringing your '95? What's your top speed? We can only go as fast as the slowest truck we got!

Let's do this thing. I'm eager to tear up some snow!

My truck's top speed is estimated to be around 70, and I'm on Rockwells. No one has an excuse for being slower than me, unless they have a C6 and some sort of orbital axles.

My truck is street illegal, however.

My top speed is about 70 MPH now also. I could probably push it harder but I'm not asking for trouble.
