My winter vehicle

Post by Absath »

Some of you have seen my thread in the appearance section. My MX-3 has been in the shop all summer for extensive body work and modification. It's almost finished, but once I get it back it will never be driven in the winter again.

So over the summer I've been working on this badboy a bit, to function as my all-purpose vehicle.

It's got a 4" Rubicon Express lift, BF Goodrich Mud Tires, a custom-made carbon fiber hood and front/rear push bars. I'm waiting on some rock rails for the sides.

Nice all season beater!! Didn't know the roads in New Haven were that bad to warrant a bad boy like that. Or are you subject to severe snowstorms, landslides, floods or live out in the country where the roads are not paved or maintained. Or have a steep hill to your house as I do to traverse in which case I just back up the driveway with my all season Protege. j/k

Ya, last years with my 626 with snow wires, I was driving on the shoulder with an Avalanche and a Ranger 4x4 at about 80km/h, car performed great, even tho i could feel snow hitting the bottom of the car, it was a great drive.

I have no problems with snow here. For some strange reason, my husband wants to move to Maine so he could watch me suffer. I hate cold... Hmm... Pacific Islander that's lived in the south for most of my life... yeah... cold and I don't cooperate
