just drove about 15 miles out of the way to pick up one of my employee's. Saw at least 7 stuck cars between her house and mine. My first time driving in stuff like this, i usually just stay home. I just kept it slow on the roads and 4lo when i needed to get through big drifts in her neighborhood.

had fun, probably the most fun driving to work ever for me lol

lots of jeeps out there, didnt see any rigs that looked familiar though

5 rescues for me so far this am. going to wait until visibility is better before I venture out again. When it was dark, I could see ok with fog logs on, but when the sun was coming up it was really hard to see with the very heavy snowfall coming down.

Went out and had 3 rescues. One guy is the manager of a Napa Auto store. He gave me his number in case i ever need parts. Jeep was eating up the snow. No problems at all.

Four rescues for me. Wish I'd come across that Napa guy before you, Jim.

I went from wagoner to tahlequah at 6 this morning. That Aussie front locker did awesome. Its worth putting up with the small bit of plowing when I'm on hard pavement.

Waiting for the wife to come out of her procedure and then headed back to wagoner.

Drove around this morning and helped a few folks out as I was checking to see just how bad the roads were but the worst part was trying to see where the road was, visibility sucked ! . One lady I ran across told me some guy in a big black truck was charging $20.00 a car to pull them back on the road and she didn't have cash so he left her there. She was soooo happy I stopped to help out. She told me "I think I need to trade my car in for a jeep" then she thanked me and I got a hug I felt like I was in one of those "intervention" courses

It is installed in our back yard right over by the air conditioner units. starts itself up one a week for 10-15 minutes to oil itself up and what not, kicks on about 10 seconds after the power goes off. We got the one that powers everything but the oven, microwave, and dryer. I will ask my dad what company it is that did it for us. So I will let you know tomorrow!
Thanks

you should post his number up so everyone could call him and say " I'm the guy in the jeep" and get a discount
