decided to go out to play in the snow a little and take some new photos.

The ausie locker and the KM2s worked great on the roads with the slush and little bit of snow then went to a parking lot that was plowed but still snow covered and had some areas that weren't plowed. in 2wd the KM2s grabbed great until really got on the throttle. the locker worked great as well. In the deep snow 4wd like it wasn't there.

now on to the pics

Haha. I have gotten the WTF look before.

I am sure Mr. and Mrs. Lexus returned to the country club and politely giggled with their friends about the Jeep in the snow over a gin and tonic.

This is one of my fav builds btw

thanks guys.


Though she let me down today while going to work lost the fan belt at 60mph. by the time I got it shut down off the side of the road she over heated too. One of the New York State help trucks pulled up and I was like that thing have a hitch? threw a strap on the d-rings and pulled it off the highway so i could get it towed. Now sitting at a local shop (do a lot of work for the family and where my dad works) and they are going to check it out for me.

hoping to have it fixed and on the trails next weekend
