I love it! I had a '62 CJ-3B that would go only when I was making my own tracks. All the other rigs had wider axles and I was always off centered when following their mud or snow ruts. Not enough weight to sink down and bite and tires not wide enough to float! I'm suprised you hade the weight to keep the rubber to the road!

I've pulled plenty of tractors from pond banks, wet spots etc with my '51 B3 Power Wagon but I had to anchor the rear and tug with the winch. One time out in the open field, a lime truck dropped the rear into a sinkhole with 9 tons. No winch anchor point and his 6" snatchem kept breaking so he finally had to dump his load before it would budge.

I'm still waiting for some snow to creep close to the Mason Dixon! We finally got a faint dusting last night and they already have called off school in most of Kentucky!?!? Go figure.

Anybody else got more mighty CTD sno-go pictures?
