You have started 3 threads on this topic, give it a rest already. A sled went through yesterday so clearly it is not safe for a truck. It is time for you to make an executive decision for yourself and hopefully it does not end up with you posting from the bottom of the lake.

12" ? And you want t drive a pickup on? I'd hold off for a bit yet.... there'll still be thinner spots out there yet.

Happy. If you think driving on 12 inches is safe for a truck, then go for it. You've been told countless times its not safe for a truck but you seem ignorant to the fact especially after the fact some one might have broken thru with a sled.

X2 As everyone else has said give it time, just because it's 12" in one spot doesn't mean it is in another. i think you need to make a judgement call and stick with it. Another thread from you about this topic isn't required.
