Billy Jo, where are you at in those pix? Sounds like your rig is pretty serious, very cool. I bet you were wishing for a winch! Ironically, I havent had you use mine yet this year

John,

I just passed through Spokane on my way back from MT on Wednesday, I saw there was a little snow there when I went through. I was up above Carson WA. it's in the Columbia River gorge kind've across from Hood River OR. I don't think that you can tell from the pics but I was right on the edge of the asphalt hump and I couldn't get back on the asphalt. Luckily for me I had tire chains with me. I've never had to use them before and it wasn't easy getting them on I ended up jacking up the back end with my floor jack to install them. Once I got them on the rear it was trouble free driving the rest of the day.

I was trying to dig myself out so I wouldn't have to put my chains on. Where I'm at is a turnout in the road so that people can pass the slow movers on their way up the hill.

Thanks for the compliments on my mods but as much as I hate to admit it a guy in a stock Toyota Forerunner got stuck behind me but got out under his own power without having to chain up. He let the air out of his tires then motored on up the hill. I'd never thought about doing that in the snow only the sand but it worked for him.
