My wife took it to work for the ground clearance and go-anywhere capability. Her normal ride is an AWD GMC Acadia.

She took one of her employees home after 15 hrs at the office. The road hadn't been plowed all day... well, not until she drove my Jeep to the woman's front door. When she turned around, she saw that she was, literally, plowing the road with my bumper and skid plate.

I love my Jeep!

Jeff

My driveway is about 20 degrees. Street was just plowed after about 12" snow, so the front edge is now about 18" build up thanks to the public plow job. Up, over and threw, up the drive no problem, drove through my back yard at about 14" snow, and out the back of my property 350-400' later. Back of property backs to another street, so another piled up 18" or so and straight threw it too. I have an X, 3" lift, and stock X tires.

Jeeps Kick @55!!!

Sorry no pics, wifey hates the snow.

We went out during a lull in the storm to enjoy the winter scenery. About 8" of snow at the time (16" now). Back in December, we had 25". The Jeep drove through that without the slightest drama.

Today's storm...





My regards,

Widewing
