I'm thinking, you have snow in Arkansas?!
Time to reeducate myself on the nations state abbreviations. :D

Happens all the time, too funny. Yep, Alaska, not Arkansas lol.

you need a garage dude!

Damn sure do! I hate leaving stuff outside up here but there's nowhere inside to keep it unfortunately. I live at work and barely have enough space inside for my family of 4... beggars can't be choosers in free housing.

Why not put the battery tender under the hood and out of the weather?

:emotions122: Yeah... hindsight is 20/20. The thought at the time was to not pinch the thick arctic extension cord in the hood and twist it... we'l see how it holds up, it was cheap insurance for the battery.

Yep, that's a company building. There's no indoor storage for anything except company equipment. One of my coworkers stores his nice 2015 Mustang outdoors all winter, just takes the battery out and keeps it warm... poor car just gets snow piled on it from September until May.

I have the tan 2016 Suburban in the pics, 5.3 LT 4x4. Already has 65k miles on it.

What kind/size of tires do you use? How capable has it been in that kind of snow?

Stock size 265/65/18 BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2s. I don't deal with ice much and don't have to worry about traffic stopping in front of me so I don't put studs on in the winter. I run it in 4HI unless I'm on the open road and occasionally turn off stabilitrac and traction control to build up momentum from a stop.

I've had the A/Ts on all of my vehicles up here (03 and 11 Z71 ECSB trucks). They do extremely well, it's all I'll put on a truck or SUV here. Driven through some insane stuff with them and never had issues. They're E load range and I run 60 psi so it's not a cushy ride but I get 50k+ miles out of a set and they haven't let me down yet.
