Well it has only been 1 snow and I have already managed to bury my truck.....

This drift was about 20-25 ft long and I thought hey I can make it through all of it its fluffy still :twisted:

o well I ended up freezeing her or something because she wouldnt start for me afterwards I had to leave it in a heated garage all day and then she started right back up. :twisted:

WOW

I'll say you buried it! I have never had a chance to play in the snow.

wonder why it didnt want to start. how'd you get it out/home to the garage?

was pulled out by a lil jeep wrangler 4cyl took him a few yanks he could barely budge me haha.

Only like 2-3 more ft and I would have made it through completely. But it started to bog down and then I got high centered haha o well. If I was any further back I would have been stuck for a long long time haha.

Snow is fun when its nice and fluffy and you get to stay in the Jeep with out having to get out. It deff. makes some play areas when it drifts on the open pla

As to not starting I have no IDEA!!! I drove it home after we got done and then when I went out later that night it wouldnt start. No click no noise, nothing the lights and radio worked fine. I just dont know haha. Pulled it to my parents heated shop and let her thaw for a couple hours. She started right up first key tonight when I picked her up. Just was mad for leaving her out in the cold and wanted a nice warm place to rest haha.

WOW looks like you guys just got the storm that hit Calgary here on Saturday. -40F with the wind chill and 18" of snow all at once is just to hard too handle!! and getting called out twice is even better. SoDakJeep how much snow did ya get??

SoDakJeep · **Posted:** Tue Dec 16, 2008 2:08 am

I think only like 5-6 inches but it was the wind that made it so bad. Huge drifts like the one I got buried in haha. As long as you dont have anything planned it was sweet.

Yikes man, I broke my front drive line getting stuck in drifts like that. It is so fun to blast through them though! Glad i don't live up that way anymore:)

SoDakJeep · **Posted:** Tue Dec 16, 2008 12:22 pm

haha ouch well I dont know why it wont start now.....I think it just has to do with the cold but what the heck. This is not good as I dont have a car to drive around.

nice thing about snow is you can dig your self out and be relatively clean

SoDakJeep · **Posted:** Tue Dec 16, 2008 3:31 pm

I would rather be super muddy then super cold hahaha

We finally got snow here in N.Nevada, nothing like you or the Donner Party :shock:

SoDakJeep · **Posted:** Tue Dec 16, 2008 9:34 pm

Yeah haha I had to eat both my passengers it was sad.

Well I beleive its the battery as to why it would not start. still has 12.3 V but only 360 of the 600 CCA. But good news is I dont need a new battery quite yet just have to set it on the charger for awhile.

Either its jsut a low battery or some where I have a short or something else that is draining the battery. Please let it just be from haveing all my lights on just sitting there and leaving my Navi on when the vehicle is off. I hate electrical work and its just to darn cold to crawl around and find a short haha.

We actually got record snowfall here in Vegas yesterday. Mount Charleston got over 11" in 24 hours. They closed the airport because they don't have snow plows or de-icing equipment :shock:

(it costs millions of dollars to purchase the equipment and they only need it every 15 years or so). I guess if you had to be stuck somewhere, Vegas is a good place to be. Even if you sleep in the airport you can still play the slots :lol:

. The freeways were practically a parking lot because there was an inch of slush on the road and no one here knows what to do when the roads are even wet :evil:

Next time you do that let the pressure out of your tires to 15-18 psi. Then try driving out. You'll be surprised at how much a difference it will make.
