Phoenix In Deep Trouble! - Snow Crawling

The Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Portal goes exploring and runs into deep trouble. Deep snow trouble that is. Whatever problems the Super Swamper tires can’t solve the Reefs winch takes care of.
We eventually found some rocks by the river, but not before the light faded and it was too dark to film.

That winch save was better than a call to AAA. Great job getting through all that cold white stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. The truck looks great in the snow.

Amazing how much better this vehicle looks with a meatier tire.

Compared to the stock VXT tire? Oh yah. I usually run J-Concept Tusks, but for winter switched to these Super Swampers I have mounted over Crazy Crawler closed-cell foams. I also like the look of the wider stance.
