Default snow vs. jimmy

Hi all,

So i took my jimmy out to my father's farm and decided to take my truck around the farm, just to check the scenery.
Well we got lots of snow here in Ontario and well (by the title) i got stuck, the snow won

The truck started to slow down and well the snow was 18 inches deep and i got centered. It was wet snow, so not too easy to go threw.

I didn't have a shovel, (on the list of things to buy now) so i just had to face it and get my dad to get the tractor to pull me out. [:@]



Sadly no pictures (also on the list of things to buy is a camera, lol)

i do not think snow chains would help when you get centered
bigger tires and a good size lift would have helped today. maybe i should get a 5" lift (or just stay out of the snow, but thats no fun)

True when you get centered your stuck like chuck but then again if you had chains you probably would have gotten enough traction to go over it scraping only a lil bit!! Lifting it does sound alot better to!!!
