Well, the Dallas Fort Worth area got the most sow in history in one day today. Nine whole inches! I know, you guys from up north don't laugh too hard. Texans freak out with one inch of that white stuff. But... My 2WD KJ handled it awesome today. Everyone else was slipping all over the place and I was tracking straight no problem. Impressed!
Then, this evening, I was running over to Sonic to pick up some burgers for dinner. Snow still falling. Roads slick. I was on a narrow 2 lane road, and the rear of my KJ starts walking sideways toward the ditch. Then my passenger rear tire bumped the 12" of snow on the side of the road. Somehow, that started my rear pulling more and more into the ditch. Next thing I know, I am sitting in the ditch with my rear tires stuck in the snowy, slushy, mud. Not Impressed...
So I call my best friend, who comes to pull me out in his 2WD Chevy truck. I pull out my tow strap and hook it up to his truck, then another guy in a lifted Z71 with Swampers pulls up and offers to give me a tug. So I hook up to him instead, and he pulls me out. But not before pulling me over a concrete and steel man hole in the ditch - sideways. Pulled my muffler off. Oh well no biggie. Drive shaft is OK.
So I am parked on the road, unhooking my towstrap from both cars. Standing in the ditch rolling it up and my best friend pulls up behind me after looping around to make sure I am all good. He is not traveling much over an idle. Hits the brakes in what looked to be plenty of time. But ends up sliding right into the back of me. His grill and hood encountered my spare tire. Busted his grill and wrinkled his hood. Just put a small dent into my tailgate where the spare mount bolts on. Should be pretty easy to pop out with a simple slide hammer. So, Impressed again.
OK. Now go ahead and laugh at the stupid Texan not knowing how to drive in the snow...
