I know you’ve seen it, but…@snorkles

 

and did you hear it sputter coming out?

 

When the Tundra back end lost grip last Winter I went to TSC and bought 4 40lb bags of horse bedding and stacked it in the bed. World of difference. This Summer I have replaced those bags with 3 50lb John Deere riding mower (suitcase) weights. Got the space back but still have the weight for traction.

As for tires, if the budget is tight you might want to consider either Sumitomo (Japanese, not Chinese, and parent of Falken) Ice Edge or Encounter AT tires. I have a set of Ice Edge on the 4Runner for about 3 years now. The 4Runner is my snowplow vehicle and I can truly say these are the best snow tires I've ever had and I'm driving 68 years. The encounter is more an all around tire with a 65,000 mile warranty.

 

Wait, what was the truetrac doing? Check how shiny your diff juice is.

 

It's unpredictable with bald tires if you step on it. What he described about it going side to.side is exactly what scared me initially about the truetrac, until I realized it was my bald tires.





I second Sumitomo tires.

 

I thought that too, but the more I listened I think it was the vehicle in front of him.
Full fledged test for cowl leaks right there... might be hard to tell with the water in the cab though.
OH, and if those exhaust manifolds weren't cracked before, I'd put money on it now
Frame rails full of muddy water... sounds like a great idea!
I bet that was a costly little stunt.
