Yeah well, I think you're a poop and mostly delusional.

You drive Fords. And yer a chick.

funny to hear that on the Iroks...any truth there?.

A little bit, but not much.... it's true in the sense that I could totally see it happening.

yabutt Todd doesn't really wheel...he just kind of transports from one location to another through wormholes in his zuzu spacewart.

heh, seems that way, but I seen him do some wheeling at the end.

It may not seem like much right there, but mBryson's Toyos had already been winched off that little side hill 3 times

So what is the plan for the ford. When is he going back for it?

When the snow melts some, than there will be mud.
when it gets to a point where we think we can get the ford out I'll post again and any one who wants can come help.

Wouldn't it be easier to get it out (from experience) after the snow melts on a freakin' cold day when everything is frozen? I went on a rescue once and timed it good enough that I literally drove the vehicle right out. I didn't get to use any of my toys but that was ok.

Yup, short of taking a piece of equipment up there (or a bunch of idiots with shovels) it's staying there until there is some melting action.

Could heavier rigs on 38+" tires get to it? It looked like the GM had at least 285's on it so I wondered if fullsize rigs on 315's might not be able to in the snow.

Not after this storm....

.....It may not seem like much right there, but mBryson's Toyos had already been winched off that little side hill 3 times ....

In the Toyo's defense, they are only about 30% tread. They seem to still work fine on the rocks, but are lacking in the snow. If they were 75% tread or better, I think they would have performed MUCHO better, IMHO. However, I think they would have been outclassed by the Boggers, an SX or TSL and possibly a Maxxis (though I've not actually seen them in the snow before) Creepy Crawler.

I was QUITE annoyed with the tires in the deep stuff, though. I had to carry a LOT of speed into any drifts and got tugged out by an Isuzu from one I had to let off in to avoid a potential collision with a Scout.

Yup. I wasn't even going to bring up the Isuzu tugging.....

Oh my! Is that really all you have?

To help your argument, should I point out a few of my other weaknesses?

Examples:
I wear skirts sometimes
I abhor opening biscuit cans
I've never driven an automatic rock crawling
I'm a giant pansy who uses a bug zapper to kill any yucky bug I see

Better luck next time!

It's not like you were "stuck" when the Isuzu pulled you back, you were just "temporaily not moving" It didn't matter what you were driving those were some deep drifts! It would been alot more if we were just up there playing I would have spent more time bashing the drifts instead of going around them.
