What do you mean? I live in Duluth and could use that truck when Lake Superior kicks up blizzards. That thing is bad ass. My Eclipse is fun in the snow but not in more than 3 inches, bottoms out real quick then. I drag raced a truck in a blizzard one year in my vr4. Took it out just for fun. Smoked him.

If the A-Team lived in Iceland, this would be their vehicle. Only thing I'd say you need is a big huge brush guard on the front to help "persuade" things to get out of your way.

Awesome! My dad has a pickup with that engine and it's got loads of torque because of the gearing but it has no balls at all, haha. Should be a fun swap. A dude bought my old Supra to swap the engine into his '91 pickup for rock crawling.
