So I was finally able to take my Jeep off road in some Utah/Colorado/New Mexico snow.....and got stuck. I learned a lot from that experience.
1. I need lockers, spinning one wheel an axle sucked.
2. Thank the lord I had recovery gear with me. My winch, traction boards, and shovel were all used to get me out (took ~7 hours).
3. It's a lot of fun, even when stuff goes wrong.
With all that said, I ordered some additional recovery gear to fill the gaps in my kit, and a lunchbox is going up front when I get back from my work trip next week. Also my power steering pump gave up on the 13 hour drive back, don't think it liked the constant high RPMs from climbing over the rockies. And overdrive is useless. Gears needed. Heres some pics though!
Look at the mess I got myself in. Buried it up to the frame. Snow was about 18 inches deep or more in places, some was hard enough to walk/drive on, aka how I got in here, other spots was pure powder, aka how I got in this mess. Driving along happy as could be, then SINK.
