Actually you need to be careful if you put a PowerTrax type locker in the back. Too much skinny pedal can make things real interesting if it's slick, your at a light, and you take off for a right or left hand turn...not that I would know from personal experience. :oops:

Either I'll upgrade the KJ or trade-in on a TJ.

my front DTT beelined it in the direction I had the front wheels aimed within a certain range of the steering, it would under steer if I gave it too much gas when turning tight with 4wd engaged, but they'll do that anyway, i've never had the rear try to slide out or fishtail with 4wd engaged and the DTT

so you could go with the DTT or the eaton Elocker in the front and resolve a majority of tailhappy issues

Very funny.... :evil:

Well I wasn't wanting to get hit today especially if i was sooo close to my house, already had a close one today in town...and i was just sitting at a light :shock:

it's not fun driving on snow with a sheet of thin ice under it and having tires that cant go in snow...my toyo at's drove excellent in the snow in 2wd, with the km2s different story...

edit: sorry I grew up in Minnesota driving a VW bug when I was a young buckaroo so I see snow and ice as fun, not a hazard or something to over come :wink:

Then again those bugs, the old ones, are awesome in the snow or atleast REAL snow and a blast out on the lakes :SOMBRERO:

I would be too chicken to do that...No thank you.

Sorry if I'm grouchy, mom's going on a rant tonight about my Jeep. How I should get rid of my mud tires and get an all season tire and quit fooling with it (trading stuff and etc...)

I don't see how you all can live like that up there...

Be nice...

Hey I'm not ashamed to be living with my mom. Atleast I'm saving $$$ :wink:

More money to put on the KJ. She doesn't live here anymore, I have the house to myself. Instead she lives down by Lake Cumberland with her boyfriend in a lake house. :evil:

The reason the Jeep isn't in my name is I couldn't get a loan at the time and insurance would be sky high. I do pay for everything on my Jeep though. I hope to not be living in KY anymore, soon. I hope to get on at Seveirville, TN PD (that's HOPE) or atleast out of Pulaski County!!!

if you want, you can sip the tires, sipping hot knives aren't too expensive

should help a little bit on wet/ice etc

the km2's have decent reviews for deep snow, but like i've said and you've experienced, snow with ice under it, not much grabs it well and ya just have to drive accordingly

some sipping should help tho, hope ya like the smell of burning rubber

A lot of us have spent most/all of our driving career in snow-bound states (I know I have), so it's not scary. It's fun! :pepper:

And that's why people up there can probably drive better than most Southern people, cause we hardly get snow. This has been a bad winter here in KY, but to you all it would be cakewalk. How many of you live in bfe though or have? :wink:

I feel sorry for those people out in Harlan and Hazard, but I suppose they are use to it. Just imagine having to drive up to your house on a mountain curvy snowy road with a foot of snow. I wish some of you lived closer to me so I could show you where I grew up at. On a 265 acre farm, my nearest neighbors were close to 2 miles away (and that was my grandparents across the creek) and if it snowed alot and you didn't have 4wd...well you were sol

Wait til ECS...you'll see :ROTFL:

Can't wait for ECS though :BANANA:

No, I'm not doing that. I'll hurt myself. I hurt my eye lid when a piece of molten plastic fell onto it. Was laying on my back on the garage floor and yes I had safety glasses on. That job took 2hrs to do! Anyways, there hasn't been a good deep snow here in 13 years. The last one was in 1998 and it was 2ft I think? Some may contest the 1994 winter storm, but I say 1998. So I will never know how good these tires go in deep snow. Snow with ice under it doesn't help, like you say.

girlfriends brother shot a pack of superglue in his eye one night

It was in his pocket, he went to pull it out of his pocket and it got stuck and he looked down to figure out what was goin on..

Sploosh..

Was quite the humorous ER trip..

For us anyway

These are the roads I learned to drive on, one lane / limestone on them and lots of snow and ice in the winter, have to get some better ones of the hills next trip down
but you kind of get the idea
pictures don't show how steep really
this is also the road we had to walk to meet the bus to go to school, 1/2 mile down the hill in the morning, back up in the evening

About 500 -600 foot drop off to the left, used to drive it everyday

miss living in the hills

hate the flatland! :twisted:

Oh, wow...that's bad.

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Wed Feb 09, 2011 11:56 pm

Yeah.. That being said

I'd give you a pair of leather gloves and a sipping knife, (like a thin wood burner pen with a depth gauge that keeps you from going too deep)
I'm pretty sure I could trust you not to stick it in your eye.. as for her brother.. yeah.. we're going to put him in a padded room

To be completely honest, I do not know what a sipping knife looks like or what sipping is. I played with fire and used sharp kitchen knives as swords, at a young age. I'm sure I could do this (if I knew how).
