Random Snow Rig Pics

[Scenic WonderRunner]

In the spirit of the season...

How about we try a..."Random SNOW RIG Pic" ...thread.


Show us Your Rig in the snow. Campsite snow pics. I would even like to hear what gear guys take for the snow but that probably belongs in another thread subject.

Hum.....is it possible to have a random pic thread with a theme? We shall see!:elkgrin:

I can't believe it's mid December in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - no snow and 10 C / 50 F temperatures for the past week. Not complaining - I've had my Land Rover out a few times and put the Christmas lights up without the usual frostbite etc.

I've attached a few photos from a trip I did with a buddy of mine from Peyton, Colorado. Highlight of this trip was a frosty hike and over-nighter at Ice Lake. Not a bad blizzard - even by Canadian standards - on the way down Californa pass as well....

i really dig that green rover with the tire on the hood...reminds me of "the gods must be crazy". always wanted one of those...

here's my contribution--medano pass, it was either late october or early november, but i know it was before snowboarding season b/c we haven't been out with the truck since the mountains opened :p.

[jrizman]

not the deepest overnight, but pretty serious **** in lake tahoe.

The deepest snow, 120inches in 4 days, i slept in the back of the truck and no cameras were working!

[viter]

lots of cool snow pics! the one with the white landy droping into the creek is now my desktop background at work! ;)

here is my brown/silver truck in Big Bear -
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c320/ua_taco/big%20bear%208-1-2006/Dsc04085.jpg

another one, but in all stock shape -
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c320/ua_taco/big%20bear%20snow%20trip%202004/DSC02286.jpg

and I was surprised how well the big stock Armada was doing that day - he made it thru all snow and mud without getting stuck except for one time when he was trying to pull out a stuck dualie chevrolet (you can kinda see it in the back) from the snow (dual tires, even though they were BFG all-terrains, were definitely slowing that chevy down, as it had to break thru fresh snow with its outer tires pretty much thru the whole trail)

Well... better never than late - but I just took these and had SO much fun! This is a little more than an hour out of Anchorage and it was -08 (F) My buddy has a Titan that is pretty bitchin but lucky for him I was in the Landy, to take care of the big stuff. :bigbossHL:

While I had the RUD chains - we never needed them. The BFG All Terrain's did pretty good over all.

[The BN Guy]

Very nice looking shots guys.

Cool lifted Titan. Not too many around that ever see anything but asphalt.

Well I Guess I'll start the 2007 season off with a shot of my Land Cruiser near Roslyn, Washington on November 29, 2007. With the record rainfall we just received, there may no no snow there any more.

Our Christmas tree run is on December 8 in the same area as the photos were taken. We should have a few more shots after that.

I don't do snow very often. For some reason I only encounter it when it is cold.

Here's an old picture of my Land Rover in Eastern Montana. Two days later I broke a front axle trying to work my way through deep snow. I phone ordered a new front axle to be UPS'ed to a camp ground I found on the map and spent a day replacing the axle when both the new axle and I arrived at the camp ground.

We headed out on a trip and ended up driving through some unexpected snow on the way and bumped into several locals out having fun. Nice that they allowed the kids out of school. This was a couple of hundred k's out from CApe Town in a farming community

For those that have visited Cape Town, this is near Ceres in the Kouebokkeveld on the road that goes past Matroosberg (the highest mountain in the region)

Man that looks like fun. I haven't done anything like that in a long long time (I grew up in Michigan, but I used snowmobiles, not Land Rovers). I love the smile on your fiance's (wife?) face in the last photo.

Don't jinx yourself.

I've lived in WY & CO since 1994. But by far the worst/best/biggest storm I've ever seen was the Blizzard of '93 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_of_the_Century_(1993)), while I was a student at ASU in Boone.


From Wiki - "The heaviest snow recorded was at Newfound Gap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfound_Gap), where U.S. 441 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._441) crosses the Tennessee and North Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina) border, with five feet (1.5 m);[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)] drifts up to 14 feet (4.3 m) were observed at Mount Mitchell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Mitchell). Snowfall totals of between 2 and 3 feet were widespread across northwestern North Carolina. Boone, North Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boone%2C_North_Carolina) — in a high-elevation area accustomed to heavy snowfalls — was nonetheless caught off guard by 24 hours of below zero Fahrenheit temperatures along with storm winds, which (according to NCDC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Climatic_Data_Center) storm summaries) gusted as high as 110 miles per hour. "

I personally observed over 4 feet of snow at my apartment. I was snowed in for 7 days, literally having to dig a tunnel to get out my front door. The winds, the thunder, the freezing temps and the drifts were supernatural. A 5pm curfew was put into effect and the Nat'l Guard was airdropping supplies into town. One of the crazier weather-weeks in my life....

Hey Fishenough...what is that truck of yours? My first thought is a 4WD Volkwagen van, but looks stouter than that.

Do we need a Sacramento area meet and greet/snow run or what? Wasn't the snow delightful on this last storm?

[Fishenough]

Maximumrob, in full agreement with your thread 'debt-free livin' is spot on to the live style we choose. Decided to not to have new car payments again (though my wifie is amazing and paid off our last Camry, then Astro off in less then 2.5 years each :wings: ), cause it did nothing for our fiscal plans. Several years ago discovered that low mileage, economical, 15 year old vehicles can be imported from Japan to Canada for reasonable cost. We have two Mitsubishi Delicas, both powered by WVO, and my grey one there was self imported imported for less cost then a new ARB front bumper and winch. Mitsubishi vans have great build quality and every Canadian owner maintains them religiously. Must admit that my personal ideal vehicle since Highschool is bang-on to Dylan's rig above!

Edit: we have our own little forum: http://www.delica.ca (http://www.delica.ca/forum/)

Great photos Kevin. They exude "adventure".

I snapped this one on the way back down the mountain on our snowrun this weekend. I just thought it was funny.

[Photog]

I took my grandson out for a day in the snow, and as we were heading in to the "play" area, this is what we saw. The trees overhang the road completely, and all the limbs still had snow on them. It was like driving through a snow tunnel.

No snow camping for me, too cold. Plus it is close enough for a day trip:jumping: . We usually try to hit up deer valley as early in the year as possible, and that usually includes snow on the ground.

A simple day trip through the Laguna Mountains the day after a snow storm. Some awesome views looking down into the Anza~Borrego desert. Look close within the pic link at the early shots of the day and see the fire damage....white snow on black trees. Some houses being rebuilt along the way. Look for the pic in Julian of the old 1849 Miner (he seems to be holding his age well!) in Julian holding his wifes purse and helping her down the stairs.

We dreamed about making a snowboard type contraption way back in the early 1970's while on our ski trips to Big Bear............we were heavy into surfing all our lives. We really felt that a snowboard was possible. But had no idea how to make it or who to have help us figure it out.


Dang it ...........I wish I was the one who finally made it!

I didn't catalog all the posts with missing photos, but in my post (#93), and Nate's post (#100), the photos that were originally attached seem to be missing. I've tried with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I also haven't been able to attach photos to new posts for the past several months (embedding a photo that is hosted elsewhere works fine of course). Perhaps the two are related?

This thread is too good to hijack any more than I already have. Perhaps we can move this conversation to PM?

Thanks for the help,
Craig

[kcowyo]

Several attachments were temporarily lost Craig, when the attachment manager's issues were being worked out.

The latest is they are not lost, just unavailable at the moment. Scott & others will hopefully work this out when they return from SEMA.

Thanks for the explanation. It's not really a big deal, I was more curious than anything.

I've been posting these photos all over here today!

On the way to camp:

Then at camp the next morning. Tent on the left for evidence!

Going back a few years now, this is my old Toyota pickup. Never should have gotten rid of that thing.

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc119/64rovr/misc/toysnow.jpg

Yes I made it into the stream without incident!

Here's my friend's Land Rover 90 trying to get out of a frozen stream. I broke through the ice in my Range Rover a few moments before, leaving him with this mess to deal with!

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc119/64rovr/misc/90ice.jpg

Those are 900x16 Michelins very submerged under the icy water!

And just for good measure, here I am winching my same friend and Land Rover back onto its wheels on the side of the highway last winter after his 1 vehicle rollover. No serious injuries and no serious vehicular damage, dont worry. I was right behind him the whole time though- freaky to watch happen to your friend.

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc119/64rovr/misc/flipped.jpg

BTW, we were under supervision of a Mass. State Trooper the whole time- to quote, "That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!" (referring to the recovery we mounted with traffic whizzing by at 45mph)

What lead to the roll over?

[transientmechanic]

Coming up an onramp to the highway, right at the end there was a poorly plowed section where the bank on the right jutted into the lane about 3 feet. he caught the edge of that with his right front tire at about 40mph. Caused the truck to spin around about 70*, then ride up the bank on the highway and flip over.

Thought I'd share some of mine from last year

Going up to meet a group at Goat Mt I slid off into the ditch. Spent 45 minutes with the come-a-long and got unstuck just as they came around the corner to help me.

Late January of this year there was a lower elevation snowfall in the Molalla area. We headed up Sawtell road and found the county roads snowplow stuck on Elk Prarie

Yup, those were today. A lot of snow fell. I have to be in Phx Thursday and another big storm is hitting, so I'm probably going to take the souythern route after work tomorrow and crash someplace in southern AZ tomorrow night.

Yea that sounds like a good idea especially since they are forecasting Wednesday as the worst of the snow for I-17 and I-40 near Flagstaff. I am itching to get out and see some snow over here.

What happened to it?


Sold it this past summer, wife started driving it a few years ago and she wanted something a little smaller. Got her into a GTI now :)

[Cypher]

I decided to take a little drive up to Munds Park AZ to check out the snow. There was about 12 inches of snow on average and some areas with more. Unfortunately every single Forrest Service road I could find was closed and gated, but we were still able to drive a decent distance into the the Forrest. The truck did well and I used 4Hi mostly with the exception of one stretch of Forrest road that has some pretty deep snow which is where I used 4Lo. After driving as far as we were allowed to, we went for about a 2 mile hike which was awesome to just completely get away from everyone and everything and be surrounded by nothing by snow.

Still waiting to get out in the snow this season, but these are from last season up on Cobb Mt., ca

We were just tooling around in Boggs Forest

We don't really get much snow up in Cobb. We have to go up to Tahoe for the real stuff.

[Cypher]

Are you happy with those KM2's in the snow?

Very happy actually... This was the first time I have had the KM2s in the snow and I was very impressed. They did much better than the BFG KMs and BFG ATs which i have had before. While in Munds Park I found a snow packed icy paved road for the specific reason of testing the tires on that surface as well. I was very comfortable with traction at all times. They did exceptionally well getting through 12 inches of snow on a dirt forrest road, wet heavy snow, and very powder like snow. Of course they really shined in the slushy mud, but that is to be expected.

Drove back to Michigan over the Christmas Holiday to give a truck I restored to my old man for Christmas and they had plenty of snow to go around. The snow banks were taller than the roof (8.5ft) of my dirtymax. Snow Rocks! (for a week or so)

Any specifics on your truck ?
A build thread ?
