I took Robert out on FWA for some quick wheeling to test beat the 'beaver. We chained up by the animal picture dumpsters and played around a while by the landing lights. It took about 25-30 min to mount all 4 chains, should be able to do it in about 15-20 now with that little refresher practice. I found out it takes quite a hill to even need 4x4 with those chains.

This is the little mound up on the landing light hill. I probably could have crawled it if I had an offroad carb. The engine stalled out 1/2 way up while still creeping forward. The 2nd run was with a bit of momentum but just enough to keep the RPM up, not enough to roll the hill.
Then we headed up to Sage Hill via the back trail. I love punching through brush and not worrying about paint or fender damage.
