alright! locker makes the biggest difference in snow. like sometimes its eager to throw your rear end out but when it comes down to it you get the traction you need. one wheel wonder is a joke but yeah snow wheeling is the best til you get stuck. i had my share of experiences back in salt lake city but all in all i love snow wheelin
Found out 'bout being stuck yesterday, lol. But a blast, no doubt! Ah, e-locker here I come, do daa do daa.....when I get the money, that is!

So more snow is on the way (so they say) I've now found that my mud terrains dont do so well on the packed snow and ice, so I drove the 3vze around with the 33in all terrains much better traction, im still wanting to get a meetup together, I gotta research some spots that are close to us all and have all difficulty levels...sure is gonna be tough!

Its snowing right now in Arlington. 2-10" expected. Not even 1cm of snow has melted off from the previous amounts, so we are set to have around 25-30" total of snow. Its already 4" thick packed on to the road, so its set to get really slick out there.

er... uh yeah it helps it run cooler... cooler air is denser so i get more power.
nah i had a parts truck sittin out for a while that was eventually my donor motor and i thought i got all the pine needles out there werent any in the throat but there were some off to the side where that linkage is and they got sucked into some passages
anyways jets are soaking now hopefully i can start it up tomorrow
