Default Yep. I can do that!

Enough complaining about head gaskets and fuel mileage. So here is a new thread on what can your truck do, that you are happy with? No leaking complaining or any of that, we get that on all the other threads.
Today after church I went past a two track that I have always seen and decided to go for it. We had fresh snow and there were clearly tire tracks of someone back there. The "in" I took was a steep 4 foot mound with a big chunk carved out of it to keep yahoos like me out of there. The Landie never even hesitated to climb over it.
Last year I got stuck on some ruts that were not as bad an angle as this. Then I got a lift and some new Goodyear Dura Tracs. Yep. I can do that!

And are you going to share the location of this place with me?

I can drive through sand that is deep enough to cover the rims without being aired down.

Spike,
Coming out of the "back side" of mars hill. Get on tyler heading towards Target. Turn Left on Port Sheldon. The woods on the right have some trails that go around some ponds and the creek. There are 3 entrances, the third is really fun. I just went back there today.
Yep, it can get over some pretty darn rough stuff.

Sweet.
I will check those out next weekend.
Thank you.

I no longer work Sat's so we will have to plan a trip out to Yankee Springs this spring when it is nice and sloppy.
Also on my new route out in Fennville/Pullman I am finding all kinds of trails.
I think they warrant a trip come spring to check them out.

I can drive the kids up the sledding hill so they don't have to walk like the other kids.
