Hi Dizzyliz, This picture is awesome. Last year we took vacation up in this area. the storm followed us from squaw valley all the way to klamath falls oregon. we had ten days of what you have in the pic. I would love to get some more this year.

Are you talking about the one I posted earlier in the thread?

This area is the backside of Soda Springs (Well, about 20 miles away)

It's fun to venture out and see how far you can make it without getting stuck.




We should have aired down...otherwise we wouldn't have been stuck here

Yah that is the one. I took chains but never needed them. We were on ice for most of the week in klamath falls. I'm running 33s on stock rims. cooper stt. I'm glad I didn't have to try to put the chains on. I don't think they will clear on the inside.

I don't have lockers and a couple times it got dicey in the deep stuff. Had to keep the Rs up to move. Tons of fun

Also I found out that if you have a soft top it is better to cover the rigg overnight. The snow would freeze to the top and sag down. This year we are better prepared.

Hi Dizzyliz this is kinda taking me a bit to get down so if I make mistakes feel free to correct. My typing is horrible. I just wrote a bunch then lost it. Your black jk looks cool against the snow. something about exploring with that much on the ground makes me smile . wouldnot want to live in it. the snow that is. LOL the jk either. We took our jK cross country cal to ark and back. front seats fine rear was a torture chamber

I've had 4 jeeps now and one of them was stock - I never once had to use chains- 2 of them were X models and didn't have lockers.

Which tires do you have?

On last years JK-Forum snow run, Tryumf's rig kicked butt and it was (at the time) a stock Sahara

...It was the Toyota Tundra that was running into trouble

Check out the Jeep in the distance - That's some pretty deep stuff!

Your just fine- I just threw them all together since they were in a row .
Admittedly sentence structure and spelling are my downfalls (don't tell anyone )... But hey- this is a forum... not class and no one is grading us

Yes- the back seats are cramped
I've only ridden in the back once (short trip)... It is pretty tight, but a step up from the TJ's back seat



Do you have any pictures of your Jeep?
