Baaaaaah , your prado would have made it , easy . All you need is a big winch , just like them . And yours is a Toyota , not a Nissan . Seriously ! Great footage and thank you and your friends , for sharing it with us . Hmmm I think some of this punctuation may be a little off , that may have something to do with my level of intoxication , or maybe education , or both . Cheers kav03 grande v6 , with added stuff that makes it go places . RTFM people !

Great stuff and pleased to see that PP has " gone Global".....Serg assume you actually are Russian??? If so your English skills are very good (in a written sense).
Thanks again for sharing, living in sunny South East Queensland where the winter temps drop to an horrendous 8 degrees (on two days of the year) and average about 15-20 C for a normal winter day it's a real eye opener.

Yes the challenges you face are almost totally different to what we face (although I imagine you have many similar terrains).
Down here there's lots of wide open spaces, so if you are a "remote area tourer" (such as me), it sometimes involves thousands of KM's of driving just to get to the start point.
In July-August this year I undertook the Canning Stock Route (in Western Australia), from Brisbane to the start point of Wiluna it was a 4850 Km drive, and from the end point of Halls Creek about 4500Kms back to Brisbane......all up I drove 10238 m's, and that just to do one 4WD track.
If you go to Trip Reports, and search Canning Stock Route, I did an extensive report (with photo's), also suggest you Google Canning Stock Route to see a little of the history, which is such an important part of the trip.
The CSR just about has it all (although def not snow), creek crossings, rocky tracks, rocky deserts, sand dunes, corrugations, and the added fun is you have to be almost self sufficient for 3 weeks (there's a fuel point about half way BUT you have to be able to get 1116 KM's to that point).
Reading your posts and viewing your photo's is really interesting as most of us would not have experienced winter 4WDing in any way (although a few do the Victorian High Country in our winter).

The Spring is here ))
Decided to add a few photos.
The first one was done this winter after a small paint work on my Prado. I decided to refresh the paint a little bit after a couple hard years for my Prado in the bushes ))
On that photo you can see the man showeling his car. It is a small car parked at that place. It was completely covered with snow during the small snow storm. In the morning I tried to back up and park me car at that snow drift. Almost made it. But... I ran over that small car. Actually I parked my car on top of his ))))) Thanks to my insurance, they paid him ))
And the last few photos were maid a week go. I put in my summer tires and went for a small drive looking for a fresh wet dirt ))) I found it and had some fun )))
There is nothing interesting at the place where asphalt is, but there is no asphalt at the interesting place...

Serg always love your posts! Guess that is a variation on 'neighbour can you move your car, you've parked me in'. Hoping to see more shots this spring and summer.

So. I am done with Prado for now. I sold it in November last year. Broke 3 CVs, 2 front differentials and decided to change the car. It will be a solid axles car. Most likely that will be TLC Prado 78 equipped with 1KZ or Nissan Patrol with ZD30 and engine will be swapped with TD42T from Nissan Safari(Japanese Patrol) as soon as ZD30 will die(and it will die, they do not live too long in our environment if you use in off-road).
But that will be a little bit later, having some financial difficulties with changed currency exchange rates. For now bought MMC Delica D5 for me family. Top version. Nice and very comfortable van but not SUV )) Adding a photo of my Prado prior to sell and my new Delica.
