The brother of my friend growing up had an F150 two wheel drive that would go through a foot or more of snow with chains on it. Pretty cool.

I have a 2nd set of wheels/tires for Pasquatch - studded snows on that set. You can get truck tires that will take studs, for sure. I remember when getting a new set they offered that to me, but was more often at the smaller, independent chains IIRC. Best traction I've EVER had was in my '94 Subaru Legacy with studded snowtires.... oh yeah, you had to WORK to get that thing off the road b/c you lost control!!!

Don't need the running commentary, gramps.

And Tom I'd be jealous if ADTs weren't so darn boring! They're cool for the first day or two then it gets old.
2000 or 2001 Bell 25 ton 6x6 ADT Mercedes diesel Allison automatic. Those things will go absolutely anywhere if you put them in 6x6.

Few women I work with need to get laid, bad. Its my theory that lack of sex leads to grumpiness. I'll send them your way. No guarantee on the quality of shipment once it arrives in WA. Beggars can't be choosers.

I had a 4x4 Toyota PU with a set of chains and that thing was unstoppable. Drove it through 4 foot of snow once...took a bunch of neighbors to the grocery store because no one else could get out of the parking lot. No cars at the grocery store either..employees walked there.

yea they will. the one in the picture got "stuck" in some wet clay slop.
the driver had never been in one before, and i forgot to tell him the most important thing about driving in mucky situations. "drive it like ya stole it".

after i let him dig holes with it for 20 minutes, i got him out of it, climbed in, put it in 6X6, and floored it. took less than 2 minutes to get out of the slop and back on the haul road 100 yards from where he got stuck..
