If the going get really heavy and deep snow then a set of chain will make a massive difference mate. Chains on bitumen work to brake black ice but chains in deep snow give your tyres paddles to move you through the snow if its deep.
You might not use them, if you have them then you have the option though. Your KM2s will become slick in deep snow pretty quick. It'll be fun but
Your call mate, I will have Pedes on and can't get chain big enough so I will wing it. If the going gets tough then the biggest go up the front and th weakest tyre goes to the backache and everyone should get through. You have brand new km2s so you will do ok mate. But if the snow is deep you will see the limits of your tyre. Will be awesome.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

So basically what Darren is saying the gq's go at the front and the gu's to the rear or stay back at camp and keep the fire going until the big boys come home...lmao

So I think it's Roofy, me and George who'll be coming up on the Saturday. What time does everyone recon they'll get there?
I'd like to meet up with the rest of the crew somewhere around lunchtime so we can get a decent afternoon drive in.

Sliding around on slicks, no dramas
Limits, i like finding them to set the bar higher for the next time and to see what needs to be done to overcome them
Awesome, HELL YEAH!!
