What is it - 4 inches considered safe for peoples, and 8 inches safe for cars/trucks? That ice was purdy dang thick when we were there (thanks again for drilling those holes WH! I think my arms get older as ice season progresses!)
I still wouldn't do it. One soft spot is all it takes. And I'd be worried about having enough traction to move - even with AWD. Yesterday's mud-bogging gave me the willies! Thought for sure I had a date with a tree!
At least I had 'friends' with me. Nothing like getting stuck somewhere on your lonesome. It's pretty hard to push and drive at the same time. NOT like that's even happened to me - numerous times.
Reminds me of when I first got a 4WD vehicle and a friend put it to me - "just means you can go that much farther before you get stuck".
