Ken Sterrett and I joined the S. Idaho Off Road Association on their annual SNOW TRIP
today! We had a ball! Ken had his B-1-PW chained up on all fours! It was awesome!
He couldn't be stopped! I had to run without chains, as my chains fit the old 9.00 - 16s, I have now retired to the boneyard, and replaced with the 11.00 - 35 Buckshot Mudders! I went almost everywhere Ken did, and he only pulled me once when I buried the old Dodge in a 3 foot drift downhill!
I am very impressed with the Radial tires!
I can't wait to fit a set of chains for them!
There were about 20 other rigs there! Mostly
Jeepers with custom lockers, BIG tires etc!
They were fun to watch as they rode on top of the snow! But, when the Wagons came through...they dug down to bedrock!! Ken ended up pulling almost every other vehicle out! (Including Me!) I loaned my set of four chains to a fella that had a decen Jeep 1.25T M-715. It did very well when chained up!
Unfortunately, my digital camera froze up (COLD!!!) after only four pictures, But, my trusty film camera worked fine! I will add thos pix as soon as I get the film developed!
So keep an eye on this link over the next three-four days! I'll add pix as I can! Also, for you guys in the sub tropical climates (sub zero that is) Check out the radiator cover I fashioned last night for my PW! If you think you might want one, let me know, I may make a few more! It kept the engine at 180' and the heater was very cozy!!!
When you're at the Picture Gallery, check out
my other galleries! Please leave feedback! in the guestbook! Thanks! Keep 'em rolling!
