Any details on the flag holders? Been wanting to make something but haven't found something I'm confident in
I just bolted a pipe to the side of my tool box on the lip part. My lip Is about 5 inches tall and sicks out about 3 inches from the body if that makes sense. Then I drilled a 2 holes in that pipe and 2 holes to match in my wooden flag pole and put bolts though those holes to hold it in there.
I'd have to disagree, wide MT tires are trash in the snow. I have 12.5" wide MTZ's and my dad has 12.5" wide Toyo MT's on his F350. Your footprint is bigger so you have less ground pressure. I go nowhere if I'm not in 4 wheel drive.
My brother had the M/T's on his truck and they sucked in the snow. In fairness though they where warn down to drag slick status lol. The version of snow we get out here is about 1/2", if we get an inch everything stops. We do get a lot of ice on the roads and I noticed when going from the old Good year fierce attitudes back to the Toyo A/T's, they A/T's are a lot better on ice and in the rain.

Yes the wider the tire the easier it is for it to loose traction in snow

You guys might be right talking about above 15mph driving on roads but dead wrong when in comes to slow 1-1 1/2 feet of snow and ice....
Funny watching all the jeep guys with skinny at/a slide all around when I stop on a dime every time. I pulled out one dodge 2500, 4 jeeps and a Tahoe from the last 14 inches of snow, my buddies 2010 jeep had Toyo A/T's and I had to pull him up into a parking lot before they would grab.
It's the same concept as Matt tracks...my truck last year with my old 16x9s and 285 at/s didn't come close to my capabilities now, I know this because I drove with both. Highway driving sure I'd rather have the at/s for traction... But this truck doesn't see a salt road when it snows because I don't work in the off season but that's besides the point...going through a 4 foot snow bank? No way in hell. Look at the Russian trucks over landing in snow, their footprints are absolutely massive.

Same with mud. If there is no bottom you damn sure dont try and dig down to it.

My statement was referring to smaller amounts of snow. Your right, a bigger footprint is better for real deep snow.
Deep snow and bottomless mud, a wider tire has the advantage. Can float across the top easier. Ice and standing water(hydro planing) is a no go though haha.
