I don't think you'll have issues. I went through alot of snow last winter (2 inches or so over the bottom of the doors) and never had a problem.

December first here it was 67. So far in December we haven't had a single day where the high wasn't above 45 until today.

yea! put it in 4x4 and it'll be like that snow is'nt even there. unless you got crappy street tires on it,then you'll probably do alot of spinning of tires.

I made it out in 4 ft of snow last year. No lie. Man that was fun. Everyone insisted it was a wasted effort... I spun wheels once, then made it right on out. Even better is the fact that the very next day I counted 9 people on the roads besides myself, 5 of which were XJ's
