Default D1 and Blizzard Snow

Well the SW MO area got and is getting ridicolous amounts of snow. So me and the rover decided to go out have some fun and help people if they need to.

Long story short..i never got stuck...it went through snow drifts without problem 3-4'. It is truly a remarkable machine...then she pushed a ford station wagon up a hill with 12" of snow on it without a hesitation. (in the process i broke my offroad lights) I am very very proud of her....she is a beast of a machine.

These things really are amazing, Through the high maintenance and pricey parts, This is where the Land Rover really shines through and makes it all worth while. Passing up Hummers and Jeeps stuck in sleet because they thought the word Trail Rated meant drive like a Dips***

We've got about 16" so far and it's still coming down! (beginning to wish I had A/T tires on mine)

Running Firestone Destination LE's on mine and spent an hour and a half trying to find some place to hook a tow strap to one of the new HEEP GC's. Gave up. They didn't want a ride back into town, so they elected to wait for the snow plows if they come out today.

So Denver hasn't had the snow we usually get, most of the central ski areas are over 20"s for the season, but boy has it been cold, anywhere from -14 to -35. I did want to show you the snow where I usually park my Disco, this is from 2 years ago, this is what I call snow.

Definitely the best 4x4xfar! I was able to get around in 20+" of unplowed snow today (CDL engaged) on summer/street tires!
