Seen some surveyors with one in the bush yesterday.They had to turn around and go back to the road.Said it was Ok in about 2 foot of snow,but when the snow got deep(like it is now) they were no good-got high centered and wouldn't go. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Many thousands cheaper than a side by side, you'll get lots more miles out of it, and they come with a heater and cab already installed. Width of a Suzuki Samurai is 60.6", width of an 83 Toyota Pickup is 68", while width of your Viking is 61.8" which means the Samurai is actually narrower.
