4x4ing in the snow pics from today

[281powered]

took the old exploder up to one of the local ski hills today were over the past week it's snowed like a bastard but was raining today so made for some tricky conditions. i was pretty impressed with this thing. i think the tires made a big diffrence in performance. these tires just chewd through the wet snow like it was nothing. i kicked up like a 15ft high rooster tail of snow ;D quit a few 4x4's were having trouble up there were as i was able to just truck on by with ease :thumb:

lmao i just hate christmas, i like what it stands for on a religious stand point, but usually any relationships i have end up falling apart, my family gets together and usually argues cause my moms sister only comes around for christmas so she can get a free meal and presents. and its effen cold out so i can never work on my car.

hell ya i am, im ready for summer to come back..but chances are on christmas day i will be walking around in shorts and a tshirt like last christmas, its just lost all its warm fuzzy feeling like i had when i was a little kid. Everyone was happy, we always watched home alone, i got everything i wanted. Now we watch specials on TV, no one gets along, and i ask for money to pay off bills.

Maybe the feeling will come back once i have acouple youngins running around.

ya i'm in the process of looking into lockers front and rear for this thing ;D should help out alot but i gotta do it with out the wife knowing since this is supposed to be the family vehicle that i'm not allowed to tamper with :-[

 

[MeanGrn Gt]

do either arb air lockers or one of the various electric selectable lockers. Just hide the switch and she will never know . Lockers are nice just put one in my pickup. havent tested it too hard yet but so far so good.

 

[monkeydude3]

It's not like you are putting nitrous or something in it, lockers are going to benefit anyone who uses it off the clean pavement.

 

[MeanGrn Gt]

lockers can be tricky in icy conditions

Please keep it all up there?! If it snowed on Christmas then was 70 degrees the next day I'd be happy :thumb:

 

[GREG@SN95]

yah... I don't see a point in paying extra for 4x4 and only having 2 wheels spin... lol... or 3

I have an 02 X as my daily driver. I love this thing in the snow. Gonna pick up a set of BFG all-terrain's for the winter. :thumb: Even with bald tires on it last year, I never got stuck. I also have the 4X4 auto feature, so I don't have to click it into 4X4. It senses the rear wheels slip and kicks it in itself. :thumb: Plus leather, 3'rd row seating and rear air is an awesome plus.

If you haven't tried it yet, find a smooth paved open parking lot and try a good 4X4 donut. It's awesome. Unlike a rear wheel drive that spins you everywhere, 4X4 will keep you in a perfect circle. It feels like it was a setup lol.

ohh by the way, I would only recomend trying this on slippery snow and not dry pavement.

4x4 auto is pretty good feature i must say and even nicer feature is to be able then to click 4x4 high or 4x4 low which is my fave ;D
