Just got to chime in here. At present I own two wasserboxer Vanagon Westies,
and one ' 78 Loaf Westy. When it comes to traction in the slippery stuff or
off road, the Loaf wins hands down. Can't tell you how many times the wife
and I have had folks in serious 4wd vehicles come upon us at the crest of a
challenging climb only to say, "...How the hell did you get that thing up
here?!!!..." With the exception of a wee bit too much overhang on the front
wheels, the Loaf is quite the off-roader. And goes like stink in the
snow.(BTW, all my rigs run BFG AT/KO 27X8.5X14 Rubber)
Yours,
Beckett
