Yeah, I'm guessing its due to the packed snow being user to create traction. Plus it more fun that way!

We got a good snow in georgia 2 xmass's ago.. got the jeep out.. we get loose snow, its not tight packed so its harder to drive through. There were only big *** trucks and jeeps out on the road. I at the time had a 3 inch and 31s.. I drove down to waffle house to get some eats and went around town exlporing. Its awesome knowing you can get where you need to regardless of conditions. I hope it snows this year so I can test the new jeep and the RE lift out.

I think just about every Jeep owner gets a shhit eating grin on their face when the first cool day of fall hits and they realize the snow season is coming.

Vermont tends to get its fair share if snow, not quite what y'all get in the west though.. either way I'm psyched for the pow pow!
