I could see that being the one area where caution should outweight valor. I also bet you could pay for the thing in a year or two just pulling people's trucks out of places they shouldn't have gone

So, I'll wait till it's safe ice thickness for trucks. (wait for some snow cover too, the ride is smoother on snow) Something clever here.

Can't wait to see it in action. Camp is where you make it.

TATELAW Campfire Tracker T Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 3,082 NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI	I went a different route than most for my hunting vehicle, but it is also my daily driver. 97 Lexus LX450 (Toyota Landcruiser with a Lexus badge). Run Nitto Terra Grapplers during the off season and Buckshot Maxxis during hunting season. Yes I get a lot of comments when I put the Buckshots on the Lexus! Also have a custom built receiver hitch basket to put on the back to carry waders and other duck hunting equipment. Also works well for the occasional deer that wanders into my sights. Luxury, comfort, and the ability to get me into and out of more places than I really have any business being, all in one neat package. Last edited by TATELAW; 12/25/10.

Lots of fox and coyote tracks out there, might have to take the 22-250 along next time. I'll post another clip or 2 soon. Something clever here.

I grew up around D7 crawlers and we learned the only thing to get one un-stuck was another crawler so I hope you find another one of these before you test the limits of this machine!!!! Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
