| Well with snow that actually amounted to something. I must say that the JK handles really well in the snow. Even on the untouched roads. OH and when that dumb a$$ plow driver made a U turn in front of me. I did slide a little. But you know the little bit of knowledge I have picked up on the trails helps knowing how the jeep is going to act in slippery conditions | |

| Well some of us fools are stuck at work........... I came in at 6:30 and I was quite surprised at the quality of the roads.. My neighborhood was like powder and close to 8 inches.. I got to 40 and it was quite slick.. Not having much patience for people out with cars that shouldnt be out I passed quite a few down the road. Got to the hill on 40 before Daves cove rd which is quite steep and long and I gave the 6 cars in front of me some room to make it up the hill before I got there.. Well dumb aholes!!!!!!! If you slow down to 10mph of course you are gonna get stuck.. All six stopped on the hill.. Not me........I thought I was in a maze..... when i crested the hill not a single head light was behind me..... Time to start really thinking about what tires to put on the Duramax..... Probably stick with old faithful BFG's........... | |

| Beautiful day! My street barely touched. Headed to Meade but got turned around, hit bass pro since my boots split, then to grocery store for flour (cant have choc chip cookies without flour) then hit liquer store for some absinthe. Too many morons in thier sedans in a ditch. Dogs having a blast with snow over top. No problems backing into an unplowed spot. No excuses for missing work on monday tho. Now tomorrows shoveling will be a bitch but if we had more open spots... well they should have plowed arundel mills better - couldnt see the curbs! Really wish I could go snowing with Paul - I know how he likes this stuff! | |

| It is killing me right now. My wife is stuck at work. I want so bad to take JR out. But being as Jr is my wife's first child she wants to see he in the snow for the first time. The taking him out for a road trip she is more scared of the other assholes out there then my driving so. Now I am snowed in. To add to my earlier post my father in law sat here long enough for me to run the wife to work then he was off to plow some of the lot at work. So now I am stuck here. DAMN | |

| Saturday was a successful maiden voyage for the lockers in the snow, and after making it to work today with the only problem being the couple other cars sliding around the side streets, the scoreboards are looking good: Jeep 2, Snow 0 | |

| That thing needs to go back to the dealer and tell them to shove it.....
I can see things going out when they get abused but that is ridiculous..................
The Crush impressed me even more.. The SX's are awesome in the snow.. I ran around last night in 2wd..... Today I parked it in a six foot pile of snow in the medium strip of the road while I used the snow blower on the driveway. Couple of jeeps stopped to check it out.... Possible new members.
I did break the door handle.. Something let loose inside and wont release the lock.. I seem to recall a few writeups on this issue but I have to find them.. Im sure the master tech of Fallston Fab will know the fix or figure it out..
Never made it up to Fallston Fab last night to play with the boys.. Last I heard Tom, Chris, Tommy and Ron were out playing with the jeeps and 4 wheelers. We had a bunch of people over and the Duramax got to play all night too picking up people and food...I need to put some shoes on the Duramax.. I was alittle worried about it before I left work but I didnt have any issues at all.. | |
