If you think it is bad in Tyler, take a road trip to Corpus Christi this spring. Drive across the large bridge span between Corpus Christi and Portland. You will think your Jeep is a brick wall driving through a wind tunnel with a parachute strapped to the top. I HATED driving my CJ across that bridge.

4" lift with 35"s here, going across the Bridge from Waterford to Groton. Go from 70 to about 40 due to angle and wind and of course lack of power, down shift to 4th and then get pushed by the wind a lane or two over. All I can think as people pass me waving at me with their middle finger, is, "God, I love my Jeep!"
