Default She works fine in the snow!

Got the red 2wd xj out in the snow for the first time and she does very well. Came home after dark and the roads were getting pretty iced up and she got a little sideways in a spot I didn't expect (always that way I guess) at about 30 mph on a straight stretch of road with a little incline to it. Got her straightened up fairly quickly - I can live with predictable response. She did great! I'm going to keep this thing forever! With a few mods she'll be perfect.

Drive safely!

Let me know when you are available man, like to check your rig out. Glad it amazed you on the streets lol. These xj's give you a warning before you spin out of control!!!

Sheets of ice on the roads.... Guess im not going to work just yet. Sucks when your driveway goes Downhill, and just beyond it is another down hill with a house at the bottom. Rather not create a homeowners claim in my automobile

Damn you westside guys. Your getting all the snow, usually we get a ton on the eastside but we are lucky to get the inch we have. They say we could get 3-5 inches still but come on seattle getting a foot, no fare.

I bet there's some left for you by the time this stuff gets to you. I'm in Woodinville and it started out as freezing rain this morning and turned to a pretty steady snowfall around 9 a.m. Probably not yet a full inch today, but we had a good 3" already. Forcast is for MUCH bigger dump on Wednesday morning - we'll see.

It's coming your way - just hang on!
