Default 2dr Jeep Snow performance

I just drove my 2 door jeep in about 4 inches of snow tonight and I gotta so the traction control is sick. I couldn't slide out if I tried. I am very satisfied with the performance. None of my prior vehicles can even compare. Was so fun, did some donuts in the parking lot too. Lol

remember to turn the ESP off if you really want to slide around. I didn't know about the ESP the first time I went out and I couldn't get the thing to kick out much, I was kinda let down haha.

Same experience here in OK today. Tried the Jeep out for the first time in the ice-sleet covered roads. It handles awesome and behaves when you want it to, but turn off esp and you can have some fun with it! If you really want to have fun put it in 2H and find an empty parking lot. I should have taken some pics of my handywork.

Also had fun going to and from work in OK this week.

I was pleasantly surprised with the ESP in the ice/sleet. Even the following day with some snow, I was able to keep it in 2WD most of the time. It handles very nicely.

Best vehicle I have had on snow and ice as well. Often tempted to drive right down in the ditch and have some real fun. Enjoy!

Two plus years since I got my JK and still no snow. Couple times we got enough to make the ground white, but never the pavement. I guess it will snow once Obama fixes global warming. Should be next week by the time he gets around to that.
