Just ordered a set of TW Guard Dogs with kedge grip in 31s. Pretty excited to get some new shoes. Still snow and ice in the gravel driveway to actually work on it ><

Right now driving off road is a distant dream
I get stuck in my parking spot at home, granted I'm only on 3 inches of lift. Snow i shoveled off the roof is way over the top of the back door to the garage. Idk about you guys but the piles of plowed snow in parking lots is a solid 1.5-2 stories high. You drive between them like you're in a canyon

It was WAY COOL to see the offroad community out there helping the regular folk. They had an XJ (and Sammie, LOL) "bucket brigade" where one guy was unhooking cars at the top, one was towing up, another at the bottom hooking people up, while the other guy was driving back down to help the next person in line. Gotta think that changed a lot of people's minds about the off road community.

Drove it 100 mile round trip in the ice/sleet storm to get another tcase for my YJ.
Made it fine, until I got to the last red light before my home..
I lost my brakes, a front brake line burst, but made it home.

It made me proud to own an XJ, LOL...I used to go out during snowstorms all the time when I lived in CO, and pulled people out for fun. Some tried to pay me, and I turned all of them down. Karma.
