Just a quick side bar. I can get my size of MTR w/ less than a 1000 miles for $110, new for about $145; BFG ATs for about $120, and MTs for about $150. I'm not sure about the $$$ on the TRXUS. Given the length and and cost of the over all trip the prices are just about too close to matter, except of course, for the used MTRs. Friend just took them off his Ruby.
I'm starting to lean toward the ATs. Snow and Ice probably won't be much of an issue, so that leaves rocks and mud.
Did I mention I hate mud! Its fun while I'm in this sticky gumbo in Louisiana, but when ya come out you bring most of it with you. I've been stuck with my MTRs on a 10 degree slope in about 3 inches of this clay goo mixture. The Ruby is fab on rocks and climbing except for some clearance issues. BUT it is no mud buggy.
Last time it snowed here in Shreveport.........2001.....got about 2 inches on the ground for about 2 hours....... :o
