Living in Alaska I'm on dedicated snow tires 6 months out of the year. With a similar winter to Norway. I had never owned Nokian Hakkapeliitta's before my Bronco. I always ran Blizzaks, Studded Cooper's, Firestone's, Hankook's dedicated snow tires. I still have a large variety of snow tires...

I'm on my 3rd winter in Alaska, only had this happen 3 times during specific snow events. Also if it's snowing I will leave the wipers on when I shut it off (then turn the switch off) to keep them in the higher parked position, which helps them defrost during remote starting. This is an issue...

I picked up a set of lightly used studded LT2's in 315/70r17 I'm on my 3rd winter with them all 4 showing better than 80% and fantastic traction half the year on ice/snow.

To me the heavier duty front axle, lockers, and 4.70 gearing is all a huge reasons to go Sasquatch, especially if you plan to actually wheel it. Just my two cents.

Well, rock took out the 2nd windshield 😕 gotta wait until spring and they get all the gravel off the roads before I replace it.

Hard top, it's Alaska I didn't see the soft top being the right top for me. It normally lives in the garage, but since we got over 50" of snow in a week I had my snow plow truck in the garage. This snow season has started off with a real bang.

Back to the winter look.

I think driving conditions will really dictate the usefulness of 4A. Here in AK we don't salt, it's mostly gravel/sand for traction. Snow on the ground 6 months of the year. All I own are 4x4/awd vehicles. Most of my current fleet has Auto 4x4 or full time AWD. It just makes daily driving so...

I love this!

I put a 6" strip of PPF on the bottom of the doors and I run long mud flaps in the front. Here in AK we use a lot if gravel on the roads so without the rockers would be destroyed.

I'm not sure if I'm just extra cautious, but I don't have any scratching issues outside of the cargo area. All switch gear is still perfect..ect I do realize it is slightly delicate so I do take extra care.

My problem is I have way to many options when it comes to what to drive, so nothing gets a lot of miles. None, don't have the need.

No, we have salmon streams and moose to worry about. We plow and sand/gravel...but they are lacking on the plowing the last week. Also this time of year the sun is so low it produces zero heat, so it can be fully sunny and zero snow melt. The state has been utilizing a calcium chloride on the...

It depends on the road conditions. We got 30" of heavy wet snow last week, nothing plowed, roads packed into 4x4 goat trails so I prefer 4H with loose snow as there's no delay in the front wheels getting power. My current combo is 4H and slippery. But I'll be in 4A or 4H until April or later...

Well, time flies when you're having fun! Two years ago today I took delivery of my very early reservation 2021 Outerbanks, Sasquatch, 4dr, 2.7, lux, Tow, MIC, leather. It's my daily driver/sunny day convertible. I've towed a few things, hauled stuff, done 7+hrs road trips, long Alaskan winters...

I cleaned it off.

I got a set of Motegi Traillite's to wrap my Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded LT2's and I freaking love them.

Supposed to get sticking snow, so I got off my lazy but and swapped to my winter setup. Summer spec a set of painted standard obx flares, stock wheels/tires. Winter spec my factory flares, Motegi Traillite wheels wrapped in studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta snow tires.

They will handle the same. I'm in Anchorage and this my 3rd winter with my 4dr Sasquatch on Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT2 studded tires. Very solid, sure footed winter vehicle.
