Got stuck in the snow today utterly humiliated had to get winched out by a group of snow runners never again will I get stuck again, I am buying a whole new setup for my Cherokee 4.5 inch lift 33s lunchbox lockers, portable air compressor, full metal front bumper with winch and mabye a Built 350 SBC. Utterly humiliated by getting stuck will drop photos of my Cherokee once everything is done.

Welcome! Nothing wrong with getting stuck - I'd laugh more at someone who "wheels" but has yet to be stuck...

And what PSI were you running? Tire pressure and tire compound are probably more important with snow wheeling than lunchbox lockers, which would be terrible honestly. Have you ever driven a 4wd vehicle with these things front and rear? Steering is, uh, not great...

Agree.
Way back when I still thrashed around out there was constantly breaking crap.
Guys who didn't just weren't trying hard enough.
LOL.

YES - this happens. I've had excellent luck with BFG KO2's and a switchable OX locker in my Chrysler 8-1/4
