Its a Jeep Thing?

If you zoom in close to the cab you can see a 6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor, a vortex sticker, somewhere there is a salt life sticker on a window and at least one yeti tumbler in that cab....


I drive a lot of ice commuting for work in the winter, probably a lot more than most. I'd not trade a front wheel drive little car on studs for all the jeeps in the world. That short wheel base on a breezy day with ice and no studs.... it will have a hard time picking what end is the front with even a good driver. Swb is great offroad but limits straight line effectiveness.
 
Ha, my 338 NM was with me march 3-24x52,didnt loose zero.Another Jeep pulled out and hit me

That's true with any 4x4 SUV or truck these days. The commercials show them bombing through snowy weather so OF COURSE they can do it. I haven't had any issues with my lifted Jeep running 33/12.50 15 mudders on snow/ icy roads that isn't to be expected.

Very true. I did a trek from Jackson hole to Billing to meet a buddy to hunt late last year. After passing about 75 morons crashed on the side of the road i finally got there. All I could do was complain about everyone driving like maniacs in such crap conditions that evening. We were in a 7 car pile up the next morning.... we come to a stop due to and out of control 4x4 and just watched the wall of idiots come right into us. All 4x4.

Yup I saw this all the time too. I've also pulled people out of the snow or sand dunes with my Jeep or various trucks I've had. Can't do that with my Camry lol. But the Camry with all season Continentals does about as well as a Subaru AWD with studs I had for work. Outside sales for WA, ID, MT and OR. Like comfisherman said it's hard to beat a front wheel drive car with studs for the icy streets. Until you get high centered.

My daughter had one like that.She put 160,000 miles and sold it for what she bought it for.
I think most complaints are about the short wheel base CJ Jeeps.These longer wheel base Jeeps were gems!

I see it all the time.Some people equate 4 wheel drive with bullet proof on ice!
Common sense is not often seen on icy roads anymore.

About a mile after I saw a semi jackknife in front of me and jump the crossover road in the median, I had an SUV come up behind me running a bit fast.
He danced around a bit before he bit it, too. Right into the median he went, too.
That was this afternoon east of Livingston.
