M37 Pics in woods

[MDSA]

Didn't know my wife had the camera out, but she took these as the boys and I were testing the M37 on the hill behind the house last Sunday. We'd had plenty of rain, so the hill was slick. The M37 was able to creep right up it in 4-wheel high just a bit faster than an idle without hardly spinning. Sorry the pics don't show the actual hill. Running stock 900X16's.

Brandon had told me an M37 would be a beast off road, but I had to test it, and it's true. The weight really helps it keep traction.

Check out this thread to see the same hill when my Deuce couldn't make it after a rain without using the winch. Of course, my 900X20's were fairly slick then and have since been replaced.

Pic #1 shows a tarp covering firewood.
#3 shows us stopped to shift back into 2-wheel drive to finish going up the hill, but no dice. Just too slick.

I'm starting to like the M37 better than the Deuce!

An ex-fire department truck with a tailgate!?!?!?! And it runs what a find!

Nice. A word or two of caution, though. Standing up in the bed of the truck is not the safest thing your young man could be doing. Also, using the top bow as a hand rail will soon spring it to the point that your top will not fit just right.
