Hahaha. I mean I general when you look up pictures or videos be in the internet or youtube 98% of it is trail hawks. Dont get me wrong I didnt get the limited to go rock climbing but I would like to know I can pile through atleast 3 inches of california snow.

you have everything .... except.. lockers and rock mode.. and that option to disconnect the axle..

i tested mine in auto mode and it done things my old xj wouldnt.. so i dont think you should be worried.. much..
i did however go buy a set of snow chains to put in the rear of the jeep.. JUST IN CASE..
i would advise the same thing.. as some one once said on here.. its best to have em and not need them.. than not have em at all. especially if you know its going to dump some snow in your AO.

From what I've read, KL owners raved about how well they did in the snow.

i pushed snow with the xj in germany for 68 miles... i was the only vehicle on the road, had to RTB from the womans house..
i got several strange looks when i went through a few towns like they could not believe a vehicle was plowing through it..
Big Mountain around Amberg was a challenge.. i ended up in a field in a bad drift and still made it out.. what normally took me 1 hour to drive took me 5..
So if My KL lives up to that.. I will be happy.

I definitely dont know when im going to take off road if ever, I bought it for my wife but I fell in love with it, but I would like to be able to do everything I can do with my srock f150. Which by the sound of it I should. But I wont have the same clearance obviously.
