Default Family picnic

The kids had the day off along with my wife and I. A beautiful day only only 25F, and 2' of powder can only mean a picnic in the snow. Made all fresh tracks going to the river, wonderful drive

That looks like a blast! I may never get to drive my Jeep in snow that deep.... What I wouldn't give. I always ask, what do you have your T-case in when it's like that? Hi? Lo? Are you automatic? Do you air down?

Snow this deep requires ALOT of torque to the wheels. I'm running in 4L drive, 4H just does not have the power. As far as airing down, absolutely! Differed conditions warrant different PSI but at this depth you want to stay as high up on top as possible. I run 4-5 PSI but that's with 40's and beadlocks.
