just to show you how stupid some people are, i went to the local fred meyers to pick up some antifreeze and there was a guy in a chevy silverado spinnin circles in the parking lot about 50 yards from where i was parked. it was dark so i could faintly see the outlines of the truck, and the headlights, when all of a sudden, the left headlight was higher than the right, then higher. smart guy spun himself towards a snow pile that was packed harder than ice, and almost tipped over.

 

Hi all! I just got my 4runner on Dec 31st. A '97 limited. On New Years Day we were visiting my girlfriends parents and her dad says "well, lets see what it can do..." He's got an old CJ, an 84 landcruiser and a newish pathfinder. He takes me around their property, I've never driven a 4wd before, so he's telling me about 4wd hi and 4wd low.. We get to this one point, a snow bank maybe a couple feet. I tired to get over it, but couldn't make it. He says we should go around. I figure lets try again with the diff lock on.. Awesome! Right through! Anyways, it probably wasn't a big deal for most of you. But for me it was just incredible. Here is a picture of my new 4runner... you can just see the tail of my mr2 sticking out..(totally useless in winter). Happy New Year everybody!!

 

my runner was a moutain goat on snow / ice when we had a huge 18 inch storm here earlier last month. it was incredible

really made me proud.

 

Very clean Andy!

I've only goofed around in the snow a few times, but when other cars are not around. I did a total of 2 360's in a parking lot once, and tested my flex on a snow pile.

I did however have fun in our last snow storm, when coming from a stop I was turning left (in my neighboorhood), with 4WD and ended spinning completely around... I had no way of stopping my slide... Absolutely incredible, because I can usually induce slides and pull myself out of it, but this one just wouldn't come out.

And now we're getting a little bit here in denver. Not much, but I'll take it.

 

They're calling for 3-4 more inches at least come Monday afternoon. Wish I had money for some Revos
