Well I figure I'd update this a bit with some more pics of the next trip out there this was in late October early November. My Dad drove in with his 05 GMC 4x4 pulling the Argo trailer and loaded with supplies when we came up to a normally mucky spot on the trail in and figured that he would go for it
Notice the angle of the trailer that I had to drive the Argo off of
At this point I thought that it was gonna be a good hour of digging and using come-alongs to get out but my dad was sure that the Argo could do it, and after 3-4 pulls in low and controlling the brakes I had him out.
Removed the firewall for extra heat
Heres a pic with a doe in the back seat and a flat front tire that I had a spare for.
Had lots of fun with the Argo in the snow and doing water crossings. Both my Dad and I were very impressed with the Argo and how we used to take a Honda 4x4 quad up there and always return to camp wet and cold but not with the Argo

As someone said: They only have a lawnmower engine! Lets see a lawnmower do that. Great job!Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"
