Our friends truck tried to go up an icy hill only to get up half way and then start to slide down backwards heading straight into a tree. Our quick actions prevented disaster by throwing down a couple of maxtrax traction boards to bring the truck to a stop! Check out these really cool affiliate links for truck gear!

I don’t care what kind of tires you have, on ice? You need dedicated soft compound, heavily sniping winter tires, preferably studded, to get up a trail like that! I remember back in the late 70’s, I had a new at the time 78, Scout II TERRA truck, I ordered like you could back then from International, front limited slip and rear lockers, with 3:52 gears and a 345/4 brl V8, 4x4, 2 speed transfer an 727 automatic trans. I had installed 15” steel rock crawling wheels, with 33”, 8.50/80-15, Firestone Town&Country studded snow tires all around, that helped me get through winter trails in George Washington State Park, in Rhode Island, that was a week after a 10 snow fall, but a day after an ice storm, that left 1” of sheer ice on everything, including trails an fire roads!

I've really been looking at the Scout platform for our next overland build, seems like you had a weapon of a overland rig!

That's nuts and scary, especially with such a beautiful looking colly!

Yes, it was a pretty intense time for all of us trying to get up that hill.

I'm sure the audience would like to know what to do better for the next time, if you will.

Did you air down the tires at all? Couldn't tell in the video. Slick stuff

@28TrucksTravel 3 жыл бұрын

Not really sure since it's not our vehicle.

Doesn't look like like the driver aired down.

Snow on top of ice...anything would fail unless you used chains or tracks.

@28TrucksTravel 3 жыл бұрын

You are correct. We just wanted to show a really cool scene from our trail ride! We used a title to catch peoples attention, we're not putting the ZR2 down here.
