FJ > Snow

Well here in Columbus we are having our first major snow. All I have to say is the Fj can haul ass in the snow without any issues.

That is all.

Re: FJ < Snow

Just remember it does not slow down as well as it gets moving. 4000+ lbs is lots of weight in slick roads. I'll admit the ABS works well but it still takes time/distance..

In Colorado it is very typical to see 4wd SUVs off the road when it snows. People always seem to forget that you still have to be able to stop.

Here in the Midwest, we INVENTED snow.

Re: FJ > Snow

My School system did suck, but the FJ charged thru the snow like a champ. I was impressed.

Martelle, I know this is off topic. But do you know of any good shops around Columbus that does mods? Lifts and other installs?
