85 4snowrunner

by Sam
(Nevada City, California)

Slightly modded 85 yota 4runner, stock 22re

TG lift, f/r powertrax lockers,5.29 yukon gears, TG high steer, R151 turbo tranny(lower 1st gear), inchworm 5:1 tcase, TG weld on axle trusses, stock axles front & rear, 38"x15x15 DickCepec FC2's-discontinued :(, Staun beadlocks(only weigh ~ 5 #'s each)

Going in to my remote Cabin in the Sierra Nevada's northeast of Nevada City, California. The road in (~ 10 miles) isn't plowed, so for ~ 4 months/year it has 2'-8' of snow on it.

Driving in deep snow tips: (learned firsthand)
If you're pushing deep snow, air down (I run ~ 1# with staun beadlocks, ~4-5#'s w/o beadlocks) and don't be in a hurry. Remember if you get stuck, how long's it going to take you to dig yourself out with a shovel ? Try to always have another rig to help give you a tug with a "tow strap" (don't use chains, they do some serious damage to your vehicle). Keep in mind when your building a snow/sand rig-- Lighter is better and low center of gravity.

Thanks

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There are so many highway bound posers that never go off the pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in Iceland is really refreshing.

It is fun to read about other people's Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of their adventure!
