Yeah just as long as there's decent tread it should be fine. But do you have a tow strap at least? Lol

Haha alright, I don't know how many times I've used mine. But up here there's quite a few people that don't know how to drive in the snow, even though they have been doing it for years.

Re: U.P. or northern WI meet
I can't wait to be back up there. The drive up to Brockway Mountain is probably my favorite thing to do when I need to get away from school. When I move back up there for the spring semester we should all meet up. I'm alway up for meeting more people who are into cars and exploring the great outdoors.

Re: U.P. or northern WI meet
Sounds like we have MTU students / alums. Graduated from MTU in 2006. Only been back up to Houghton 3 or 4 times since then, but I love getting back up there.

Re: U.P. or northern WI meet
You guys doing anything with the 4 Wheelers? I was only part of them during my 5th year up at Tech, but got out a few times with them.

Re: U.P. or northern WI meet
Hey... neither was mine. I just had a 3" Body Lift and 33's but they let me head put with them. Most of the guys were pretty damn cool and they usually will tell people what's need to go on the run they are planning (i.e. 40"s and above only, or just stock vehicles, etc.).
Anyway, good to know people up there are still exploring the outdoors. Loved getting up to Copper Harbor and Mount Brockway. Super fun up there.

Ya I'm a third year up there. I went on one run with the wheelers last year with my friend who has a mild Jeep Cherokee. They were pretty cool. There was one big hill he couldn't make and after we tried a couple of different lines they had us park at the bottom and we rode up in the back of another truck to get to the overlook. Then he looped around to pick up our rig and meet up with everyone for the rest of the ride. Point is they are helpful and accommodating to new riders and mild rigs and it's a great first wheeling club to be in.

Cool to see some tech alums and current students. I'm on co-op downstate right now. I'll be heading back for spring semester.
