McT- nope- 4x4 Dodge with gnarly tires. Didnt look lifted. Probably a 1 ton I'd guess.

Boots maybe the truck was a wannabe 4x4.... I've seen plenty 2wd trucks lifted with big tires.... Why people do that, I have no idea.... All show, no go IMHO

BNB have to agree. If I have to chain up for an R3 then the little Nissan speedster shouldn't be allowed on the road.

The chain restrictions need updating anyway! A few years ago the made a big 4x trick stop and put on chains but let the mini coupe with chains through! If you are chaining up large 4x4s nothing else should get through!
