It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
They count on that big time..
I was way up a power line trail around 1400-1500M. It was sketchy going up with out snow. I was already a bit anxious about going down before I woke up to a bunch of snow LOL
I should definitely upgrade to vbar chains. Right now all I have is cables for all 4. They help a little bit sometimes

Lol yeah it gave me anxiety. I was good about waking up every hour or two to snow check. I guess it dumped from 2-4am (but the sky was full of stars?!)
It was a balance between trying to ride the brakes vs building up momentum and not being about to corner the tight switchback corners that were straight drop off.
I never did slide even once, but I had to let off the brake a few times because the rear wheels were off the ground making the jeep wanting to summer salt off the mtn instead of sledding off. Was fine when half way back down to Utilius mainline. Would have been dodgy even without snow. I shouldn't have climbed it up there in the first place, snow or not... wasn't jeep friendly... longer wheel base wouldn't have had as much trouble.
I am probably about to repeat such mistakes right here locally over the next couple weeks with any combination of snow, ice, flooding and washouts. I'm overdue for a predicament
Wonder if we've ever crossed paths up there? You bumping into wolves yet? Saw a huge one last trip.

Some jeepers are religious about the capabilities but their most challenging obstacle was a crosswalk mall parking lot speed bump.
The short narrow wheel base is good to avoid high center and make tight maneuvers, get turned around etc.
It's not stable though... nothing goes sideways faster than a little square box on wheels. Longer wheelbase can get the front end passed BS and have stability to bring up/down the rest as long as high center isnt an issue and you can back out if you want. Short wheel base in the same BS, you often find your fully in it and committed... terrain and gravity is less forgiving. OH! And if you ever have to back down something steep and bumpy in a jeep, your front end wants to lift in the air and backflip, same as down steep trying to control speed. When the tires lift off the ground all you can do is let it roll, but you still need to control momentum or you will flip when you do need to slow down fast or stop. Only real advantages are less likely to high center and dont have a front or rear that sticks out too much that you'll smack your rear or have a head on collision with the ground and your air bag deploy on a deep cross ditch. It's like a 3800lb ATV and drives/handles as such.
Heck yeah blacktail fever! Hey if you stumble on our camp or see us driving, stop on by or flash (especially if I'm upside down with my hazard lights blinkin lol)

Man, this debate was playing through my head a lot yesterday. I was sooooo wishing my Frontier didn't have 3-4 feet hanging out past the rears yesterday as I wiggled through about the 10th fresh cross ditch past where I really should have turned around. With the 2 inch level I can normally jump cross ditches but the hoe operator that pulled this road wanted to make a point I guess. Bottomed out on the trailer hitch lots and my trailer plug that I craftily mounted beside but above the hitch finally got nailed by a rogue rock I guess and broken I did find some great intel tho. But next time I'll walk the last stretch!
But. The crew cab 6 foot box is like you suggest steady as all get out compared to a jeep or other short WB rig. In 4 low I just let it idle down anything I've been able to climb without a worry in the world, snow, mud, whatever. Nice on the highway in a snow storm too. Trade offs. I think my short term plan is cut a hole in the bumper with a hole saw and mount the plug IN the damn bumper. The hitch looks like its up for a few thousand more bottom outs before there's any worry there Just got to make damn sure not to get too crazy and high centered with the back wheels no touchy the ground and stuck there. Or maybe I'll get a horse.
its gonna take a life time to hunt and fish all this
