I’m glad I’ve kept the Slowrunner around.

Snow tires and a skid plate and I bet the ST could also get through there.

Not a chance. Some of the ruts were nearly a foot deep. I got through in 2WD, but some spots were a bit iffy.

I *might* be able to make that.

*With a huge running start and a tow truck*

They were that deep? In that case probably not. Doesn’t look like they are a foot deep.

Read reply to Squirrel. These were shallow compared to some though, I just didn’t want to stop at those.

Those weren’t but the road is much worse than this. It’s definitely been someone else’s playground. My 33"x 12.5" tires fit loosely in some ruts.

Can’t say I blame you.

There are actual mud pits, but I’m paranoid about what the “locals” to that road have thrown in there.

Well that section in the photo you could probably get through with enough speed.

It would bottom out accessing this road. Other dirt roads it’s fine on, but this one the state has forgotten about.

The Audi will basically keep moving forward as long as all four wheels are touching the young and none of the rest of the car is. The problem is that it has absurdly low ground clearance.

This is about as crazy as I’ve gotten.

Touching the ground would be the issue. My tires fit loosely in the ruts, and they are 33x12.50. They are deeper and wider than they look. In fact, on my first pass I took it in 4WD to be on the safe side. After that I put it back in 2. It did fine for the most part, but it struggled at a couple of spots.

That, and TVs(not joking) and other things with tire puncturing capabilities.
