    Figured it was about there with the nice hard-packed snow, flatlands, and no front plates.

    Montreal/Ottawa that's been relocated to Missouri, myself.

    Having no front plates makes the vehicles look so much better. And hold on, i'll show you a picture of hard packed snow.

    Made it through the first time, but second time, i was trying to push through 2 feet of snow and got caught up on the drift. Myself and my friend could walk accross the snow it was so hard. You can see the footprint out of the passenger side door. It's like cement. I felt so bad for my truck after this, because i was going through powder before and i didn't realise this drift was so rough.

    Muahahahah!!! Nice picture! It's times like that that you wish you had a fistful of cash to buy a set of mattracks.. (those tank-track things..!)

    Great pictures!

    Those tires are 285's and they were 3/4 of the way under snow before, then i hit that drift. On the box i had around 1 inch of give from myself and my buddy bouncing on it. But the front end was just packed. There was no give at all. I put er in 4wd-high and put er to the mats. (Before i was just pushing in 2wd.... big mistake) After i put to the mats, i got 2 inches of give forward and backwards movement, then i just rocked my way out.
