Default A little snow anyone?

It said that we are going to get 24" of snow. A great time to test the 4wheel drive. I dont know about you guys but my truck is a tank in the snow.

we just got like 15-18" of snow last night my trucks pretty good in the snow for being 2wd.

hopefully next year I can bring the 99 out in the winter and test it in the snow

We've got about 2 feet of snow, the truck does fine in the snow, I need new tires though. I'm putting in a 3" lift this weekend and getting some 32 bridgestone, this should help traction a little

I think the dakotas are the king of snow, they will go absolutely anywhere

We got snow here. I'd say maybe 6-8" inches before it turned into the "wintery mix". I went out driving before the rain/crap and I had no problems whatsoever. Swapping out the Eagle LS junk for BFG All Terrains has made a huge difference. Between the BFGs and my sandbags (300lbs) my 2WD works great in the snow!

Actually, for snow driving you want the skinniest tire possible (to an extent.. motorcycle tires won't do well on your truck!). Chances are the 32's you'll be putting on will be wider than what you got now.

ok we got a good 18" of snow with 45 mph winds lol. it was a little crazy here in ohio. gotta say my truck got through it all and its only 2wd. lil weight in the back and it was unstoppable. wish i had a 4wd though just for the fun of it and to take it offroad. maybe that'll be my next buy.
