i was invited to go wheelin on a trail called mormon emigrant trail but i havd 16.5 rims and i know it snows up there will this be a problem with my suburban ??

matt

depends on how deep teh snow is, go anyways, its fun! jiMMy

Just dont forget an air tank, and starting fluid:D :flipoff2:

Like the others said, go for it but make sure you have an air source and some starting fluid ready when you pop a bead and those 16.5's;)

Make sure you get some pics of your adventure to share with the group!

when ya heading up there.. a group of friends are going the 28th.. its fun in snow.. dont know how much will be up there..

There is going to be SO MUCH snow up there! It's dumped 5-7 feet in the last couple of days with a couple more forcasted for the next couple fo days. What tires are you running?

Nothing wrong with getting stuck as long as you're Gettin' It!

AT's pack snow, and snows the best traction on snow. ;)

mike it is ? so will i be ok even tough i have 16.5 rims

youl be fine as long as you dont let too much air out

ok cool... ill take lots of pics

I don't know how much snow wheeling you've done but here are a couple of suggestions;)

*start out with 20 psi in your tires ( I assume you have AT radials)
you may have to go to 15 psi if the snow is really light and fluffy.
*Follow someone and stay in their tracks
*when your forward motion stops, back up a little then try again. Keep the wheel spin to a minimum.


It's amazing just how deep you can go if you take your time;)

thanks for the info... ill keep that in mind :)

Went last weekend and it was 1-2 ft before the big(cold) storm rolled through. It was a fun ride. Saw a lot of stockers stuck near the beginning, but it was really slippery slush then. It should pack down better now that it is cold.

I did not air down, but I am locked f+r and in a much lighter rig.

BTW that "trail" is a road :flipoff2: have fun!

yup.. its the highway 50 alternate.. you will see those signs up there.. plus it takes you to highway 88, and highway 89....

i'm looking forward to this:D

Just dont get too stupid in the snow, if you dont have people to help you get out.. it really sucks trying to get a full size turned around that is trigger happy with the throttle.. it took almost 2 hours to get one unstuck that decided to follow us one time. People up there will help you, unless they are di*ks. But worst case senario, come prepared to spend the night, and bring stuff where you can walk a few miles in the snow to get out if you have to.. Also stay on the road.. well above it.. dont go off into the woods

i'm goin with a few full sized trucks

That is a great place to play in the snow...
Going up there myself with some friends for a camping snow run 26th thru the 29th...
did it last year and decided to make it an anual run..
