Dont have pictures of ours but it's got 31x10.5 and they look tiny. Being a 302/auto truck I wouldn't want any bigger but 33s would fit with room to work.This old ford looks kick ass with them tires on it!!
I love stock steel wheels with slightly oversized mudders[emoji41]
Here is mine

Well , yesterday was around 20F and sunny but 20mph to 40mph winds so it would have been miserable at the pit because it's elevated and wide open .
Then I thot "No blackflies or Dropbears out there today !" , so off I went
I decided to go up an older logging road , been through it several times over the years .
Birch and maples close to the road , I dropped several and I'll go back with a tractor and winch to haul out log length .
Even saw that my buddy Porky was by .
Some else's unsuccessful scrounge

So , as I sauntered on down the road at a nice leisurely pace scanning the tree tops
Notice that slope to the right down the hill ...

I tried a few things but no go , I had left the Tirfors at home so I called Jerry and then walked out to the main road .
A bit of ice chipping with the Peavy and a tug got me out .
Maybe 33" tires would have helped ?
Same weather today , polly be out there this afternoon , no Blackflies or Dropbears to be seen for miles

My first thought was a bumper mounted winch and something to anchor in the ice to pull against forget what there called. Or just hook it to a tree and pull out.So , as I sauntered on down the road at a nice leisurely pace scanning the tree tops

Those porky's are destructive rodents!
Is it just me, or do these pics take forever to come up for everyone?

It's not like I don't own an electric winch or three lol

Yeah it is slow for me too....for a while last night I couldn't even get on, however I had notifications when I finally did get in, which means some folks are having trouble and others arent.

Been clearing ATV trails on my gf's property since last spring. Finally got the perimeter trail done. Just after we got there we heard a quad on the adjacent property. Went down the trail a bit and just across the creek/property line was the property owner cutting a MONSTER oak blowdown. With a HOOSKVAHNA. I've never jumped across a creek so fast. I wanted to meet the neighbors so ya know....old school social networking. Turns out he is a full time forester for the state. SCORE. We will be having many conversations with that guy I think....

Another slow screw stormy week. Be 8-10" or so when it winds up. A couple breaks in between for plowing at least.
So my plan is slow fire cooking some venison stew. Helps pass the time and should be even better after plowing tomorrow.

With that much wood in the back, you don't need 4 wheel drive.
-24 last night....was supposed to be -9. Truck started fine though.
