8" of more snow coming tonight and tomorrow with winds up around 40mph+!
I won't be seeing to far ahead of the truck nose tomorrow either!
Yeah one of my old bosses built race cars and his wife's mustang does that when its 90 degrees. lol
Hmm, you might have improved air density if you suck in some snowflakes!
I had a bad encounter with the day we had ice day a long time ago. I was messing around on my mountain bike and trying to slide so I hit the brake and insteak of breaking loose the back kept rolling and the front dug in. And I still dont think I slid.
Later found my back brake line was refrozen and my tires were in good shape.
...somebody lied about the frozen stuff. lol

3. Gearing and torque control can make a big difference also.

FYI
Your right. Mines 4wd and I have Mud Tires.. Supercab short bed.. DOH!

I just wanted to point out that we needed to come back and do a reality check and post up our equipment.
Apples to apples is a whole lot better to compare than grapes to melons.
