In time for this snow storm. Took it off to change ujoints and haven't gotten around to it.

Still went out this morning with about 7 inches of snow on the roads. Didn't get stuck either. Fish tailed a bit, but the Jeep was able to get around well enough. Passed a BMW SUV stuck in a snow bank, the driver had a look on her like "I paid how much for this Luxury SUV to get stuck in the snow."

I was like, Still with 2WD the XJ gets the job done!

Last year I found myself installing my front driveshaft at 530 in the morning with 2" of snow on the ground and more coming down so I could head to work. I was laughing maniacally the whole time because #jeeplife.

This is Nashville, where we close schools when snow is merely forecasted

The new washer fluid pumps arrived the night before the storm! I was so happy to get them as the old ones were dead. I quickly topped the tank with -25F washer fluid.
