92Path_68CJ Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 When a 6x6 Unimog or Pinz locked in 6x6 with snow chains and tourists in the back tells you to "Let them rescue you" because "they're the only other vehicle I'll see all day". Little backstory: Went wheeling in at about a foot of snow in Big Bear with a friend who had a 99 Ford Ranger. We stopped on 3N16 to chain up on the trail (only one set of tracks on the trail, so we stopped in the road. As I was chaining up, he came through with his tour group. He immediately began acting as though I was the clueless weekend warrior, even after letting him know that I knew what I was doing. Of course he told me in front of his tourist group that he was the last rig for the day and I'd have to hike for miles to find help. I wheeled all the way to where he told me he had to turn around because he was bogging....and kept going. (The bumper doesn't make a good snowplow.)

Slartibartfast Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 A lunatic part of me wants to try off-roading a donk, just to see how it would do.

nunya Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 it runs great on horribly smelling gas you siphoned out of a junk police car know has been sitting for at least 3 years (we owned it at work, don't worry and my pentance was getting stung in the hand anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but see in Europe or Japan that wouldn't happen When your FJ Cruiser Froading buddies always let you go first so that you can haul them to the top of the hill after they get stuck halfway up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
