I always carry a long length of chain and a strap, a small shovel and de-icer in a spray bottle.
Extra weight is always good for that extra bit of traction.

Thankfully I dont have to worry much about snow down here. 2.5 years so far and I havent seen 6" of snow, hah.

What is this "winter" you speak of???

i think its what they call the weather here now. ha ha.. crisp cool 70 winter. ha ha.

Give her a pair of hat and gloves,shovel, and tell not to come back in til the driveway is cleared......:D


Sorry, but that is hilarious and wrong at the same time.

















Check tire pressures mostly and let it rip.....winter is just another day in WI.....

mine get a winter makeover. I put on my pushbar because it comes in handy when people get stuck. I carry Recovery strap, extra long jumpers, a medi kit. Install my Winter rims with snow tires. When it does snow, I go out and have fun.

Drive it? I check my fluids year around, nothing new or special. Recovery gear is always in my truck for wheeling, so I don't have to get that ready. Always have some basic tools in my truck, and try and carry jumpers if possible.

I do warm it up before I leave for work. Otherwise, it stay's the same year around. Can't wait for snow though, we still don't have any

All accept one has been 2wd. A good LS with good tires and a little weight and I've made it through and past many a car/truck/van :) through some pretty impressive snow falls.
