Mines a 2wd, so this is going to be interesting. I've always had 4x4 in the snow.

How were the roads? Did you have to get it into 4lo to get around?

The roads are fine for the most part, Avondale is wet and slushy, somewhat slick. But fine all the way to Redmond. The hill over to 124th isnt that great tho, even a few Subarus were stuck on the Avondale side of the hill. If you don't have momentum you ain't going anywhere...

I used 4lo once to go down the hill on 124th cuz people were stopped at the bottom

I looked at your profile here. You've got all the right parts to get around in anything you want. I'm pretty sure I'm going to install a Powertrax in the rear of my 2wd. Everything I've heard about them seems right on. Then I'd feel a lot more comfortable about it.

The Powertrax work well for you?

OK, I'm sold. That's one of the next upgrades for the red xj!

Thanks for the road info, and the Powertrax report. Maybe we could meet up some time since you're close by. I haven't had anyone with some experience take a look at my jeep. Love to get some thoughts first-hand on what I might I ought to do. Just a DD for the most part, some work roads.

It's got some good pieces (I got lucky) AX-15, Chrysler rear end, 185,000 miles - put 235/75/15's on it. Runs great, and I'm very happy with it.

Happy to buy you a beverage if you want in the next few weeks. Your call.

Thanks again!

You'll have to let me know if you see me around, I've got a green jeep with a window sticker that says "daily driver if i roll it I'm screwed" and on the hatch "free brake check just get a little closer"

I'll keep an eye out for you. Mine's red and unmolested. Usually has a golden retriever (Henry) with his head hanging out the window.
