I think you should reread Bolot's post, especially the part where he says:
"Even experienced local drivers know that driving from Tomtor directly to Magadan that way is impossible, because it is impassable, it is covered with thick snow.
*********
This part on the old route of the Kolyma Highway after Tomtor is impassable in winter. It is not used at all by locals. It is burried under the thick snow cover.
********
Guys, please, do not repeat after these Norwegians. Act responsibly."

You should check with Bolot about the "150km from Tomtor" statement in his post--I expect it is a typo, but you should check with him, his e-mail address is on his site, and he is very helpful with answering questions, etc. Moreover, he sees alot of adventure travellers passing through Yakutsk so I think has some idea about what is and is not possible. There is also a 4x4 club in Yakutsk which might be able to provide additional info.
I am about 99% sure that proceeding beyond Tomtor will be impossible, and given the extremely low temperatures, rather dangerous.
