sooo i just got off the ship, the jeep has been sitting in the garage all winter, and i got talked into being the driver to go up snowboarding at bretton woods.
The trip up was fine, Wednesday night we went out for a few drinks and it was about a half hour ride, coming back it was snowing pretty good, i was really shocked how well the truck held to the road. hopefully i wont be doing much more snow driving, im afraid of hitting a chunk of ice or heavy slush and destroying the front lip.

I just went up a hill covered in ice. :) I was pleased.
ya, ok in the snow but not great, my problem has been steering and stopping so i ordered another set of wheels and some Bridgestone's for the winter. should be a ball with the skinny snow tires on it!!!

It snowed a decent amount yesterday (about 1-5 in.)...Jeep did fine...I feel it drives better with t/c off in the snow..

i agree but try not to turn the tc off unless I absolutely have to because of all the issues and warnings about our lovely transfer case:)

Everytime I see a small chunk of snow or ice sitting on the road I cringe and hold my breath... then I hear is slam off the bottom of the car. :( I can't blame you one bit for worrying about the front clip man. It sucks

Hey a little off topic but did you have purple headlights and now they are blue?

the TC being on is the only thing saving my ass from whipping donuts on every turn. (unintentionally) lol
