It's That Time of Year Again.....

It's the, its snowing and i dont have four wheel drive blues time .... lookin for a small rig to drive to work when it snows or to play with in the snow...possibly a Jeep or somethin

How about a 97 Explorer?

I would highly recommend the 97 explorer, we have one, and my wife would fight before loosing hers. We have the 4x4 with posi differential and it works great in the snow along with the toyo wild country tires. While in Medford Oregon, we were in a snow storm, and while everyone was chaining up, we just went on by, great traction.

Theres a nice one sitting in my garage that just so happens to be for sale.

Go with a Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0 straight six. One of the best gas motors built.

This will make you believe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGFASxRPM10

I absolutely recommend the 1987 Chevy 3/4T 4X4...and they're cheap with a new engine and trans...only $3500! That includes fresh oil & filter w/ 0 miles (I haven't moved it since I changed the oil...guess I prefer the PSD CC instead!)

Let me know if it doesn't work out for you. I'm only asking $3000 for my Explorer.

Good tires and weight, lots of it. I have about 800 pounds in the bed of my truck and have had zero problems so far this year (knock on wood). This is in mid-Michigan, about 8 inches of snow on the ground right now. Tires are Mastercraft Courser C/T and were new in June. Last year, with Firestone Steeltex, forget it. I went nowhere in the snow.


I should also point out that most of the vehicles that I see off the side of the road in the snow are Jeeps. I don't know if they are just that bad in the snow or if the people who drive them are just stupid (feel invincible, "I have 4x4 now get out of my way!").

OK.... here's a good snow vehicle... it has two inches of clearance. Should work fine in the snow up to 1/4 inch. With V8 and full subframe, clearance is about two inches. Just add another $14,000 to your $1,000 and it's yours.
