Beginning of the winter 4-bying season.......

4x4 trips to Mexico, to the ski hill, or to the local grocery store...

Beginning of the winter 4-bying season.......

Post by tomanique »

in the lower mainland at least. Went up towards Chilliwack Lake on Sunday and up Chipmunk Service Road towards the back of Mount Cheam. Portable fire pit came in handy. Would be a great place for an impromptu Deli-meet if anyone gets up this way.

Gorgeous pics, nice family.

I have to ask, aren't you worried about the Delica tipping over? It seems so narrow and high.

Thanks. Tipping? Not at all, I'm pretty sure at has a low centre where the weight is concerned. Took "Frankendeli" down the I-5 to Disneyland last month through the tailend of Cyclone Lingling, gusts were upto 100km/h and she did just fine.

I've heard reports of people driving a 4x4 road with the tiltometer at 40% and they didn't tip over, and I'm actually amazed by the ability of mine to corner, speed being more limited by stuff in the van flying around and rear wheel traction than it actually tipping over.

Don't know if that's 40 degrees but it gives an idea of what it can do... (No idea who took this picture and if the camera was angled but looks realistic or close enough...)

GOOD LORD!!! :shock: Even if the camera is tilted a bit (very hard to figure out) that would be a very uncomfortable feeling sitting inside. I know what my wife would be saying..... or hitting me with, if I did that.

The other pics in this post are incredible! Couldn't help but notice the Vet plates... done a "few" exercises up that way myself... an ex-BCR light armoured recon type.

The trees and the person in the background are vertical, so I'd say that picture is true. F$#%ing crazy! But true. It almost looks like the vehicle is centred on its underbelly.

As for tomanique - wow! Envious of where you're living. Yes, we're on the Island, but in Victoria it's a couple hours' drive to the mountains with snow on them. We so want to get back to the Interior, or the Foothills of Alberta. Either way, mountains, mountains, mountains.
