Hehe I'm just excited to see how the KK does in the snow. The Z didn't do so well last year :lol:

We just hit a cold front here, mid 40's for lows so it's been getting me thinking :twisted:

It is all about tires. Going from stock to winter tires is night and day. My Liberty is an absolute monster in the snow and ice with my Blizzak snow tires, I love them.

Even my first set of tires, Cooper CTS all season tires were really good in snow, as opposed to the crap goodyears than came on it when I bought it, which had me white knuckling down the road in my first snowstorm with them on. The next day I bought the coopers, and then last year I got the snows when I lifted it.

If you get tires that are fairly high rating for snow, the liberty will shine in the foul weather.

What I love the most about winter is laughing at the Ban SUVs Pro Global Warming Crowd :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL:
More so when I drive past their Prius/Subaru that is stuck or can't start. :BANANA: :BANANA: :BANANA: :BANANA: :BANANA:

Isn't it tough/fun figuring out which is best for the specific conditions Part Time or Full Time and discussing it with fellow Jeepers?

well most of the FT's i know pull at the first snow and leave it there till its shorts weather :P

PT ya can't do that :( what's to discuss? :P

one you can leave in 24-7 regardless of the conditions, the other will keep you pointed in the correct direction fractionally better :P

most of the AWD urabuS's seem to do fairly decent, aunt drove one for a mail car for years, seemed like it was fairly stout

You live in friggin Florida......it never gets cold down there.....

I'll like winter and snow a whole lot more after I retire....driving Fire Apparatus in snow is not fun, especially in a city with limited snow removal equipment.....

When my only worry will be clearing a path from the front deck to the curb so we get mail delivery, then I won't mind the snow, as for the cold....that part I don't mind at all.....

:ROTFL: :-)r :ROTFL: I used to tell people that it got cold in north Florida, I'd even use a camping trip in February in which it got down to 18* as an example. Then I hiked part of the Grand Canyon in December... in a snow storm... which made even the worst Florida winter feel like spring. :SOMBRERO:

Man, oh man, am I ready for winter... It's 106* right now. Last night, at midnight, it was still in the mid-90s on my back porch.
:ALONE:
