So many pics through green grasses and one of a guy going over a baby pine.
Those pics would be used against us over here in USA and get our trails shut down.
Ya thats a nice tow rig.
My dads buddy built a smal boom like that with hydros to load his snow mobile on the truck in the winter but i would have never thought about having a truck big enough to do it with your rig. That is cool
Hehe, it may seem very harsh of us running around in the swamplands like that but its so fun!
Nah, the area we used on this outing is a large LARGE military excercise field. They are training tank-crews / educating military personell on 4x4 - 6x6 light and heavy equip / swedish military vehicle makers takes test drives in the muck and so on. And thats been practiced since the 50:s.
Btw, the pictures in index 12 is us trying to get thru a previously tank-molested area where they practices winching, thus having to get a tank stuck first by purpose
The area is considered amongst the best offroad-areas in sweden.
It's got sand / (rock) / muck / mud / mosquitos
But! -It's getting tougher and tougher to get hold of the field legally
I think that guy borrowed a Volvo work truck with a PALFINGER crane, power companys and such have them around here. Mighty neat crane, folds behind the cab and are remotely controlled by radio.
Well, about wheeling.. You wheel what 4x4 you find -I have never ever seen a 4x4 built on a frame in a junkyard yet..
You find an old IH or blazer and run it til it dies, then use the 350/350/np205 and some volvo axles and put it to work in some other application. 4x4 stuff tend to end up with just a few persons -Very common is also building old military vehicles like the C303 / laplander / heavier trucks...
We are not so enlightened about different axles, we tend to like volvo products..
Saw an old bronco wheeling this weekend, first time ever.
