    First, a short clip:



    This one is a bit longer:



    This one is to show that they don't need a plough to clear the road, before they can drive through the snow:



    With a truck like that, the ice road truckers wouldn't need an ice road, they can just drive through the snow.

    And, to show you the amazing off-road capabilities of these trucks, a nice clip from Siberia:



    And you can also use them as a bulldozer:



    Enjoy!

    This is a more modern version of that Tatra 8x8 tractor I showed you. I don't think you can get a C500 that can do these tricks:
