I would like to see a T.A.V. (Trailhead Approach Vehicle) topic- thread here on Splitboard.com

Warning thread drift:

My favorite is a 4x4 is a Uni-Mog

And your own Hagglunds BV206 All Terrain Vehicle (customized snowcat) Cutomized the trailer-cab into personal bedroom, complete with flat screen TV. So you can watch your GoPro vids at night. :thumpsup:

Hagglunds are a bit different to a typical snow cat. Also, the novelty of driving them wears off pretty quick.

No Tacomas. No Subarus. Nothing electronic except the ignition. Nothing typical just a 1975 Toyota Chinook with tire chains. Livable, workable, and room to store a snowboard under the pop top. www.thechinook.com

I'm lovin this rig more the longer I have it. She came with some issues but after some psychotherapy she's mostly stable. FWD so snow isn't a huge issue, enough HP to pull a bile behind, and 14-17 mpg. Being FWD I keep getting told I can't get it lifted for more ground clearance which would be super nice but she didn't cost me much and she gets me there....so far

My little Taco works fine. The boyfriend has a Dodge Ram Megacab that works better - heated seats and lots of room inside for friends and gear, and plenty of towing capacity. For longer trips it eats a lot of gas, and it would be cool to have a Vanagon or a truck camper so we'd have a nice place to crash and could still tow the sleds.
