Here's a short vid of the trip: http://www.gitout.com/video/Hogsback.wmv

MMMmmmmmmm, SAS Isuzu. Cool bumper on the Montero. I want to wheel in snow.

That was kinda the maiden run for the SAS'd Rodeo. We did the swap awhile back, but he ran low on money so some details had to wait. They don't pay those poor Warn Industries slaves much <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Rich is now sporting 35" Toyo MT's on it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Which Monty bumper are you referring to? The white one(mine) or the bronze one? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I want to wheel in some snow some day. I love Texas - lived here my entire life - but I sure wish it snowed here every year.

That looks like major fun. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Yeah you'd love it until the road salt that comes with it starts eating your car, and you have to shovel yourself out every other day, scrape the ice and mess off your windows, and deal with the cold 24/7.

But hey I still love it, but by the time Febuary hits, i'm like get the heck out I want warmth.

Nice pics, really like the video.


Nick

Nice run, must be a little chilly riding in the Orange Chop Top that time of year.

Nice thing about snow wheeling in the PNW, they don't use corrosive salts to break up the snow and ice.

They do use "sand" on some of the passes. Their version of "sand" can break windshields when other vehicles kick it up.

Clay

Yeah Clay I recently got a nice healthy chip in my windshield from one of those "Grains of Sand". It scared the hell out of me when it hit, I thought some little hooligan was shooting his BB gun at me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Karl in the orange topless Trooper has hoses from his heater ducts running up his pants leg and jacket sleeve to keep him warm. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I love the fact that they don't salt our roads in the winter, but there's been talk lately of them doing it. Some easterners trying to put forth that bit of idiocy...Uhhh...no thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Luckily our "Greenies" here are so politicaly strong that they will fight that tooth and nail just so the area doesn't become a massive salt marsh. Too many endangered species to protect...whew <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I thought they had that stuff that prevents the road from ever forming ice. They were using it extensively before I moved to Kalifornia. You could always tell when you were on a treated road because it had all those slightly darker lines going along the path of the road.

Seemed to me that it was a lot cheaper than road salt too.

God bless those earth muffins, every one.
