I guess going 60 on snow and ice covered roads isn't that smart after all..

Nothing increases traction in bad conditions like stacks, truck nuts and salt life and yeti stickers. When those assets are deployed by an operator with a flat billed hat and large Oakley sunglasses, the vehicle would be unstoppable !!

Heavy, high-COG truck with wide mud tires is about the worst vehicle in snow and ice.

He sure showed us his mad skillz . I am sure he has a good excuse that has nothing to do with him having the IQ of a fish

Satisfying!
I drive my 4x4 like a fucking grandma in bad weather and will happily hang with the slower traffic. |

M frames, they are the answer to more traction. I always thought it was so I could look like a rugged 80s soldier of fortune. |

I just ordered a pair for my ice bike. |

Awesome!
Brodozers are the vehicle of choice for guys with a below average TMI. |

Douchedozer wins again. The black cloud isn't just for looks - it portends doom!

Yes, that's what uneven weight distribution does while going faster than you should.

View Quote They're also using tires and suspensions that are designed for ice and snow. |

Big stacks and truck nuts would have gotten him through no problem.

View Quote While I'm not rich enough for a WRC spec car, or dumb enough to drive like an ass on shitty roads, I can count on GD's hands the number of times I've passed fucked up 4x4s in my simple ass focus. Sometimesit is the car, sometimes it is the driver, but most of the time it is a combination of both. |

A stock truck with ATs starts to struggle with around 15 inches of heavy snow, but a lifted truck can go through substantially more. If it's light fluffy snow, even a stock truck can go through a few feet. Your car isn't going through any of that. I have Wrangler AT/S on one truck, Cooper A/T3 on the other. The Wrangler are better on ice, but the Cooper are better in deep snow. |

We wont talk about the inner fender wells ripped out, all the under belly plastic ripped off, or from when I had to plow through a 5' high bank in reverse the exhaust getting pushed a little bit so when I down shifted the drive shaft clanked off of it every time. Ah to be young again early 20's! Oh yea and not being able to open the doors right because the snow was so high lol I seriously did maybe 60 miles that way on back roads. Another time was an Audi TT-RS the same situation, same tires. Trying to get to a airport to leave the country and they were closing around SE PA so we quick hauled ass to LaGuardia. My girlfriends escalade left the emblem print in the snow when she parked. Both of those cars were even lowered. |

Kodiak will rain, then hard freeze overnight, then rain then hard freeze then rain. 2 inches of shiny plate glass on the roads with a fresh gale blasting in off the ocean. This lady was doing nothing wrong, just sitting still in hee van, but the crown of the road and the wind just slid her into the ditch. I can still see her silent screams through the windshield and i chuckle.
