Going up the driveway today.......going good......until.........I HATE ICE!!!!!

 

[mud4feet]

It was a helluva ride. Hate it when youre totally helpless.......steer it the best you can.

Chains, dude ,chains, all 4 tires.

 

[mud4feet]

Yes, chains would do it. But not worth the price for how infrequent this stuff is here. All four tires would not help (open diffs), but today I sure wish Id have had them.

 

[mud4feet]

We will pull her out tomorrow (50s?) and hope for not much damage. Sometimes you thank God for mud!

I dont know about that,For 200 dollars ya get a set of chains for all 4 tires and it well go, verses . Getting stuck, tow truck fee, damage to jeep, walking from God knows where. Cold baby doll, which may turn out to be a good thing. I think it's a good invest.
Got a jeep, go equipt for anything, dont forget snacks.

Woul

$200 dont get it......maybe rethink that with global warming . No tow fee......we will get her out tomorrow when everything melts (have salted and have a shovel). No damage that I could see (other than my ego ). I was 100 ft. from making it to the driverway. Woudnt own anything but my Jeep, just hate the he** out of ice. Ice leaves little options.

 

[Gennybro]

I purchased 4 chains for 33x12.5 tires for 200 dollars, I know what I"m talking about.

 

[Gennybro]

Ice, even with chains is a dangerous scene.

Hope every thing is ok ,keep on getting it for me since I havent got a jeep right now. Jeepers & excitement junkies= Gennybro

I'm guessing you got it unstuck - was there any damage?

 

[Utah_jeepster]

She looks totaled Mud, I will be a nice guy here and give you 200$ and take her off your hands. :shades:

Yeah, Terry, we pulled it out with my son's F-150 once the ice melted......closest she's been to turning over! Only damage was one of those stupid plastic bumper caps (rear bumper is still stock) and, of course, my pride. I am grateful.

 

[prariepunk]

the angle of those pictures had me wondering how it stopped where it was but now I see how it's positioned. I'm glad to great you're ok & your Jeep is ok too!!!

Darn glad you came out without a scratch , and for the most part , your jeep as well . Don't know if you'll ever laugh about it , doubt it much but wondering how it would feel that a jeep had to get rescued by a ford . Kind of ironic , eh ? Well , jeeps at one time had some ford in their blood so it's all akin I guess . Hope you fair well the rest this winter and every other comes your way up there in Gods country . Safe jeepin' brother. Greg

P.S. - a big thank you to your boy !
