Yes, my Jeep does fine. It's the ***-hats in full size trucks driving like the world is ending that concern me. I HAVE been rear-ended in the snow before, thankfully it was a ****ty little Toyota Corolla and i took no damage. all the plows do is make a smooth surface for solid ice to form.

Touché. My point remains though, either plow it right so it doesn't compact into ice, or don't plow it at all.

Just checked/replaced all the fluids that the average person doesn't even know about.

Drained and filled my transmission fluid (Fluid was BAD)
Drained and filled Tcase ( Fluid was actually really good)
Topped off Differentials ( Going to be draining and filling soon)
Power Steering (Still filled)

Have to say I was pretty happy. Don't be mad but I haven't done any of that since I have owned the vehicle. This is going to 3rd full year with it so I had to start doing this stuff!

Looks good but I'd move your license plate. Xj's radiators are small enough as it is why block airflow

Ran an emissions test at school today, funny because we don't do those tests in FL. The results:
CO - 0.32%
HC - 80 PPM
NOx - 9 PPM
O2 - 0.48%
CO2 - 15%
