Okay so i just read the pages since i left on this thread and i got a few things to say....
i didnt have internet in the U.S and for some reason my canadian iphone wouldnt connect to yall ******* WIFI... jokes...

1. ChrisFX4... sweet pics! I didn't even meet ya in person. Were you in anyone truck for the run? I woulda offered the passenger or the back seat to ya
2. Greg............ WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THIS?!!??!?!?!?!?! I can't believe that happended!!!, shit i saw you wwhen we were leaving home and you didn't even say anything lol. how the hell did you break the IWE? You were in 4Hi and went to 4LO?
3. I had the graps aired down to 15 then 10 then ended up running 8. THEY DIG IN. i went through knee deep snow maybe more on that trail DELTA team took. I plowed the damn thing in 2wd i admit i locked the rear diff 2 or 3 times just cause im throttle heavy. 37's and these tires and my bumper plow...... i can tell ya it wasnt like that with my 20's wrapped in 35's trail ********.
4. It was freezing out there and it was a quite open area so the wind was punishing...when i pulled up the cop was waving at me and like i ran out thinking it was a full bus of people. the drivers explanation was that there was a car infront of him and it was so murky that he just followed the tracks of that other car and then didnt react. Native=99.9% drunks.... atleast in canada no idea in the u.s


So i had ice sculptures all underneath the truck... when i got home and looked at it my rear bumper/hitch/ ect is one solid piece of ice.
Thanks man! I wasn't in anyone's truck for the run. I go to school in Houghton so I thought I would at least come check out some of your guy's trucks.

All I know is that I need to get a Raptor real soon. This trip looks like it was a hell of a lot fun. I've done the majority of the trails you guys were on in the summer, so I can only imagine how much more awesome they are in the winter.

So hopefully I have a Raptor by the next time you guys do one of these runs, because I wouldn't even hesitate to do a trip like this after seeing this one.

I'm still doing a rough sort ditching boring GoPro video that I have.

That said, we didn't get lost... there were just some course corrections with style. Sorry about the ice on the lens, this camera had been in the truck and I didn't think about that happening.

Wow netix, way to step up.

I think the 15lbs of ice in the wheels were behind my aggressive wheel shimmy driving home, but my only objective yest was to get to my couch.

That hottub looks to be quite the prescription after a long weekend in the truck... And after a weekend of tailgate ***** murals and Canadians reenacing dirty dancing at the casino, that hot tub scene leaves no sexuality concerns.

I've had that too where my wheels were so packed with snow the balance was WAY off and it was a mess. Pulled over multiple times to get all the ice out.

Hey - I have a decent amount of pics with you in so just PM me your email if you'd like a copy. If you're FB friends with Squatting Dog you may already have seen them since you were both in front of me.

The video after me and squatting dog got stuck looks really boring, where I was 2nd behind WSI. It's too bad you can't see the steering wheel in it, or it'd look much more exciting.

same here with the wheels, i had a nice wobble and shimmy in the ass end at high speeds. i just let the speed take care of it hehehe



also, for thos wondering, my post abou family emergency and had to leave, was to give Jason a heart attack until i showed up lol, we were at his place thursday night, and some of us were dragging swag up to the casino and i got the task of hauling about $2500+ of ICON Shocks. LoL i was gonna post something the next morning to try and clear everything up, but then i was running late for the SVT tour, and then lots of driving and being exhausted..... i think my little prank was a success tho!

:troll3:

Just wanna give a big thanks to everyone who pitched in to get this thing rolling and to all of us who showed up on the inaugural Sno Ball!

I'm glad to hear everyone made it home through whiteout too...

And Netix, way to come through on the TCH man. I'm sure those people were pretty stoked to see you...drunk or not...haha
