Hi everyone. I am a kind of new on this forum and not sure if there is anyone else here from Russia. I just decided to make a thread here and try to post some photos from our trails. I am not sure how will it go, so I gonna just try it and see. For now with the latest mods on the car I have just a few photos, they were made just in 5 minutes driving from the city, I just got bored driving on good roads and decided to relax a bit, I had just a couple hours to play in mud )) It was raining that day and I got good suntan on my Prado at the end of play ))

Oh yeah, I just refused to go further because I had a plane in a few hours and I was afraid to be in a forest while my plane worm up its engines ))))))

Thanks. You are absolutely right, it could be down to -35 centigrade and snow up to 3 meters and more )) for example last winter in some places we had up to 6 meters of snow. But it is common for all Russia, it is just for a couple places. And I live at one of them )) I will try to find some winter photos

Love it! Is there any bottom under that mud? Doesn't look like it?

No, it is just a mix of clay and swamp ))))) very, very slippery surface. With every turn of the wheels you just dig your self in to the ground )) had to use the whinch to get out of this mud. But I should say I was able to move forward and backward till the end of my free time, had to use whinch to recover just because of the plane. Really like this tyres and my suspension lift ))) good ground clearence.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Sakhalin must be an interesting place to live. Closer to Darwin than to Moscow perhaps?

One thing I know for sure, it is almost twice cheaper for me to fly to Thailand then flight to Moscow )))
Can you guess where do I prefer to fly? ))) Last time I was in Moscow in 2002 ))) but I am going to Thailand in one month )))

Ha ha, I don't think we need to know why you like going to Thailand! I'll be next door in Sapporo next month.
