Nice pics brother!... We had our first sprinkling today. Just a tad of hung around for the day.

How do you like your Mud-Terain BFGs for your dring around in snow/ice conditions?

Thanks, Jeff!

I love the KM2's for everything but ice. I have to start with- I don't have a front driveshaft yet, I do have an aggressive limited-slip/locker, and I have a powerful V8. These last couple days I have driven my wife to work because it's so squirrely. I did a 360 making a left turn onto the highway- luckily no cars in sight. If you accelerate at all on slick ice you're starting to head sideways- have to feather the throttle. A front driveshaft would probably make a big difference...

In snow they're great, however. I used a set of BFG A/T's last winter...great traction ice and good snow, I just didn't care for the looks, and I hate having 2 sets of tires...

I wish they made the Goodyear Duratrack in a true 36/37" tire...other than the $500 one for 20" wheels...

360s...yahoo I know inside you were smiling :-)) I can relate with just a tad of power and a detroit in the rear.

And yes it does help with the arb select up front.. 4 wheel drifts mmmmm mmmmm mmmm

Thanks for the word on the tires. My son is looking for DDrivers on the Jeepster.

There's a Walmart version of the Duratrack that's a bit cheaper, but almost the same tire. it's the Wrangler Authority.

How is the Jeepster doing?
 
Seeing as webshots deleted the Jeepster pic from page 1...

First tracks! Really need to work out some better traction. :)

I had this same idea for my girls in the barbie Jeep... but now I am thinking chains... I have some for an old small snow blower... hmmm :crazy:

A buddy of mine has one of these, he told me there is a whole site for modding them up. He told me you can take bicycle tubes and wrap the plastic wheels, making them slightly larger, quieter, and more traction.
 
No snow here, time to fold the windshield down and take the top/doors off :D:thumbsup:

We have a foot of snow here... and more is coming, we are right on the line of snow to sleet to rain... 75 miles to the east, nothing but rain... crazy how that works... more snow plowing for me when I get home!

I was thinking of some screws with the heads out a bit for snow/mud. I could cover up the holes in the wheels in the summer with the tubes.

Get some mountain bike tires- cut the tread out in a strip, and glue/screw it to the hard plastic tires.

I just got in from shoveling and plowing another 8 inches... this week has sucked 9 hours of my life with plowing/shoveling/etc... we have over a foot and a half now... however, I was able to get more paint on the little kids Jeep... pictures will follow, I am hoping to get my daughter into her Barbie Jeep and conquer some snow piles in a little bit.
