I seem to love cars from the 80's

Everything Ive had BFG radial t/a's on (mostly rwd cars) did super in snow.. I also like BFG land terrain. They are not to aggressive and do great in snow but kinda squirly on wet clay..lol... Ive used part of a tractor tube and filled it with sand, tied the ends off and used cherry picker to put it in the truck and take it out. Currently Ive been using tractor weights and just made a bracket to hold them solid..

I was pleasantly surprised at the traction my D-50 had in snow with only slightly oversized rear tires.

(Lowe's sells a sand bag just for pick-up trucks in winter, similar in concept to what kswildcat describes. Last year they were on the bargain bin for $2 each. I bought 3 "tube sand" bags).

I am SOOOooo in agreement with the other posters on this thread: the older vehicles had nice lines, simpler configurations, and car manufacturers hadn't quite bent to the supository look, yet. 1975 and '76 were the absolutes PITS for cars, and not a lot of excitement was offered for quite a while. The amount of plastic glued to newer vehicles is appalling...and largely unrecyclable. My '90 D-50 is that last stage before the on-board computer started taking over all aspects of mechanical function.

And as camoit pointed out in another thread: the MM's/D-50's have really satisfying lines that remain somewhat timeless.
