I know. I just don't call girls punks...

 

[lovemachine]

Whatcha gonna do? Chase him in the snow?

Just for the record, I CAN and DO drive in the snow. I just didn't feel comfortable driving to a place I had never been to, that was an hour and a half away, in a snow storm.

I already plan on redeeming myself soon

 

[magic man]

But seriously, let me know how they do in the snow.

LOL I will. And they already have great reviews in the snow, mud and rocks.

 

[GBuck]

So how'd the firing go? Not the one you posted pics of on here was it?

I don't believe I have ever posted a picture of any of my employees on here, have I?

That's when you just throw some emergency gear in the back and go.

But I would recommend a map, compass, and having some good directions though. Its not that hard, I've done that sort of trip in a snow storm many times. Last one was from NWI coming home from my ex g/f's parents house, in a snow storm bad enough you couldn't see the road hardly 20 ft in front of you. Normally a 2.5 hr trip, took over 4 hrs. And I was driving a 2wd ranger. Surely you can do a 1.5 hr trip in a modded jeep.

I didn't have emergency supplies back then. I do now though

Good, now you have no excuse!

If this winter, I still hear you aren't driving that jeep in the snow, I'm sure you will be forever picked on about it.

No worries. I have a winch this time too.

 

[Harry2110]

Come on I bike in snow some times on my slick tired road bike for short trips too.

 

[Westside]

HEY! WTH man...



I recommen the BFG KM2's. AWESOME tires!

Where are all these hot people and guns?

Watch it punk.

There is snow coming he knows he is safe.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

Yeah, I'm wanting to get one for the bronco too. I have a feeling I may need it to winch out dad's F250 if he doesn't get some more aggressive tires for it this year.

 

[magic man]

What winch do you have, lovemachine?

 

[magic man]

Any recomendations for a basic recovery kit to get me through winter? Tow strap, etc.?

 

[lovemachine]

Warn M8000. Its around $550.

Careful. There's snatch straps, tow straps and recovery straps. And using the wrong one can do damage...

Well, it's a good thing I asked then.

I just want something basic to pull cars out of the snow.

 

[lovemachine]

Recovery for getting unstuck.

Tow strap for towing.

Don't worry about snatch straps until you're doing crazy rock crawling.

Why do you want 33x10.5 tires and not 33x12.5?

From what I've read 10.5's are better on road and in the snow.

True, just don't look as cool!
