Default My snow excursion with the Ranger (56k no way)

This was my first time in snow with my Ranger. We got 11" of snow in one day. Up until Saturday, I had never put my truck into 4-Lo. Anyways on to the pics and best of all VIDEOS!!! Just give the videos a second to load when you first open them up.

Pics first; they are poser shots, but you get the idea, the videos have the wheelin stuff:

my partner in crime that day along with being the cameraman and who you hear laughing the whole time.

My first snow hill. The first time I went up it, I slid a little, but it hadnt been rode up yet; it was fresh snow.

slush hole

In the below videos, i was down in a holler with only one way to get out and it is the hill you see me trying to get up. I kept hitting one spot in the path that the truck wanted to slide. I'd move over a little, but it would still want to slide back into tracks. the final video shows me slapping that biotch in the face and going up it in 4-L0 1st gear.

over all, i was EXTREMELY happy with the Ranger. She did great and could not have asked for any better. The tires performed extremely well too! I think i did pretty good for my first time in snow with a truck.
