Haven't seen snow since '98 - can't imagine it's any good for our L's?

If I have to go out in the snow here in N.M., I have 2 spares I will be putting on the back. They have some good tread on them. Maybe you guys looking for snow tires can consider them a cheap alternative.

I have been forced to drive my L in the snow this week. I hate it. The hankooks work better than the F-1s in the snow, but it still sucks. I try to take the Explorer if the wife is around. 4wd is much better for getting going. And 4wd donuts are a lot of fun too.

THAT VIDEO ROCKED!

on my 3rd winter in the L. BFG's on the rear and i plow through anything as long as the front bumper isnt hanging too low for it. handles like any other vehicle does in the snow.... but you just cant go pedal to the metal is all.

Sounded like Ramstein but I am not sure the name of the song.

Oh well, I'm getting rid of it soon for an F250 or 350 anyway... I've had enough already.
Ooops!

Perfect weather for a WRX though. I wish I had one of those.
I was looking into one of those the STI, Man they wanted as much as I payed for my truck. But I couldn't see my way to buy Rice !

Except at the dragstrip.

A few goodies from Gale Banks and Bully Dog can put a diesel in the 12's.

Nothing a little propane can't take care of.
