I was in PR getting married the one time we got a massive storm. It wasn't cool.

I put her in 4x4 only when I cant move anymore. And lets put it this way, I didnt even put it 4x4 last year. And we got 10 inches dumped on us over night and 3 days later got another 7 inches. I look forward to winter every year cus thats when the tow strap comes out and my bank account gets a little bigger from idiots getting stuck in ditches.

Oh I forgot you are a Fellow cheesehead lol it was fun! I didn't have my jeep running yet though my dad and I went into town so we could get some work done on making my heep functional after the po destroyed a deer with it. We took his ram 1500 with the hemi and a 6" lift sooo many people in ditches that had no clue but they all are dumb enough to call a wrecker and pay $$$$ I should stop postwhoring

We dont get much snow around here either. The bridges freeze over but hardly any snow. If and when we do or have gotten it i have not had to but it in 4wd to get around town or to work. But i do hit all the place my friends work and do donuts in the new snow before they get there. I do use 4wd when we hit the trails in the mountains around here with snow. (some long drops in them thar hills). I hope we get a pile of snow this year.

You don't like being able to steer while braking during traction loss?

If you knew how to drive that wouldn't be an issue. I also hate ABS, and I can still steer.

I like stopping when I tell my truck to do so. Not when the ABS motor thinks it should.

ABS is nice only if you don't know how to drive.
