Here we go, slowly enter the waters edge where the ice is thinnest very gently, break up a small amount of the ice a ft or so,(you could consider reversing in and using rear cross member to break initial ice) reverse out and drive back in at speed and brake sharply just before the solid ice, this sends a shockwave of water under the ice and it breaks it up, if it doesn't work fully the first time do it again, you can then drive through pushing the ice aside.
Obviously this method depends on how thick the ice is, if your on a frozen lake in Canada it's not going to work !.

wow that sounds clever! , also fun establishing that shock wave :dance:
