24" to 30" in the Lehigh Valley. It's the kinda powder that isn't even fun, you just sink through it.

we got 31" on average just south of harrisburg.

STILL NO PLOW TRUCK

jeep couldnt go anymore after the 30" mark, it was just packing my suspension too much to make any headway...the goodyear authority's did excellent before that point though! I had snow flying/roostertails off all 4 corners



that was on tollhouse RD (the 283 exit) at like 1pm...not a soul aside from the abandoned stuck vehicles.



Thats about the limit for comfortable driving for me

as it got deeper and i drove, i had to keep moving or else it wouldve been sticky...or a lack thereof!

after driving in 24" depth for a bit, the front end looks like this...


maybe a bit deeper, idk. Jeep did better than I expected with wally world specials

I don't know exactly.... But I'd say we got got about 3ft, maybe a little less. Some drifts up to my neck (I'm 5'11")... Saturday morning my door was snowed in, good thing I put a shovel inside the night before.

i think everyones pooped today

how possible is it that i threw my jeep out of alignment with luggier tires...I had it hopping prettttttty good at some point in time...open diff D30 on 31x10.5's. Steering wheel gets pretty vibraty and walks back and forth at like 50-60mph. Gets worse when i engage 4-hi, like one wheel is reallllly trying to rip off...feels like more than impacted snow/ice on the wheels...:/

any advice is appreciated!

if it's not tracking straight i'd say you definitely loosened something up in the steering. Check all the rod ends and the trackbar

War eagle-Your new tires are probably grabbing better than the old,due to better & more tread.
Your new tires most likely brought out a problem(s) that already existed as listed above.
I would check all steering & suspension components.
Check your lug nuts first with a torque wrench.
If it makes u feel any better,I'm in the same boat as u.
I need all new bushings & steering ends,& keep putting off new tires until everything is up to spec.
Edit>just saw your pics.looks like fun!
Make sure you have all snow & ice removed from your wheels.

Who here has lockers? Opinions on automatic and selectable lockers? Best locker for a DD/weekend crawler

Selectable lockers are always better 100% off the time, no exceptions. They're expensive.

Auto lockers are much cheaper. Auto lockers in the rear axle can be very unpredictable when turning in snow and other slick conditions.
