Kansas City Raptors Eating Some Snow

WSI and I couldn't miss out on this chance to stomp the knee deep snow we just got.

I'm trying to figure out my GoPro because I'm an idiot. In the meantime, here's a link to the photo album:

At least he didn't get stuck, I needed a bit of a yank after we stopped for pictures.

Okay... so we took 4 videos. Against my better judgement, here is the "best" one. Special shout-out to my camerawoman for having her visor down and getting some great shots of the dash. This is the only video without my ugly mug in it and it's pretty terrible. It was more fun than it looked from here.

Lessons learned:

1. Always mount your GoPro
2. Use the open back case if you want to hear anything
3. The view out of a Raptor is pretty boring when you're 4'11"

Enjoy!

Looks like a moderate amount of snow. Did you need 4-wheel drive? Could you stop and start again without any slippage?

Definitely needed 4x4 here. Hard to tell from the video, but it was the combination of two days of snow, about 16-18" deep. Also, soupy mud underneath.

We didn't have any problems at all until I high centered myself in the deepest snow for the pictures. My wheels weren't touching the ground anymore. But, after a few fails trying to pull me forward over the mound of snow I had created, Jimmy pulled me out pretty easily in reverse.

I can't quite tell are those stock tires on yours and Toyo's on the WSI truck? Yours is a 2010 what about the WSI truck? Just curious on the difference with and without the Torsen.
