SPSRA here to remind all about some tips not to miss to avoid having a bad winter driving experience. Winter is rearing it's ugly head at us as of late so as a concerned patron to all members of the CWSCC forum, I have compiled a list of things to do to your vehicle this season.

Check pressure in all your tires. (DON'T FORGET THE SPARE!)

Check tempurature rating of your antifreeze

Make sure to have a blanket, flashlight, shovel, and gloves in your car


Feel free to add to this list, as to make sure everyone makes it through this winter safely. Good luck and rock out with your cock out.

Don't forget 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.

And TK might want to post his cell number so if anyone gets stuck, he can come out and pull you out with his truck :P

On a serious note, I'd throw a pair of winter boots in the car as well. Nothing worse than tramping around in the snow wearing dress shoes or tennis shoes.

Good point.

I'd also recommend staying away from Devlish's Jeep if you want to keep your tailights and rear bumper and also stay away from Dizmm v-PP if you want to keep your front grill and oil cooler. 8)

Another serious note. AWD is not golden in the snow, just because you have AWD, does not mean you can turn fast, and if you don't have snow tires, be very very careful!

p.s. Small towns are nice when you spin it and do a couple quick donuts right on main street, and still don't see a car.

I would like a rematch with the jeep after DizmmV-PP gets its new shoes installed.

Bologna!

Nah, just kidding. I have AWD, and it was worthless with the tires I had. They were awful. But now that I have better tires, I'm pretty much invincible in the snow.
