About 4 times in SLC.

I had to use it for approx 50 miles just outside of Burns OR, on the way from Bend to SLC.

So far, only a few times - coincidentally enough, when my wife was in the car

My tires have been good enough not to need 4wd much this winter.

strangely enough, 0 times when going snowboarding. innumberable in and outs while driving around town (prolly 5-6 snow days so far).

But my tires are on their last legs.

We dont get much snow down here in SC, but I try and use mine at least once a month for '10 miles' to keep the shafts lubricated well as per recommendation from the manual.

Ditto Ironmike's post above. Sadly my 4Runner didn't make my annual Christmas trip north with me this year, or the 4WD would have been used a lot more!

I think I've used it only twice, I was trying to get to my girls house. She has a very steep driveway that is about a mile long.

I've only used it like 7 times. And they were usually only in places where I had to get in a turn lane that wasn't plowed or if I was being too much of a leadfoot in the neighborhoods. I tend to keep it in 2WD and drift through turns whenever I can

So many damned times already I've lost count. It's been on for about a week straight so far. I barely got 200 miles to this tank.
