We're finally getting some real winter weather in Montana, down to -10F today and -24F by tomorrow morning. Took the new rig out to find some drifts and test the locked rear in 4-high "hidden" feature (from another post), also see how good the 4-auto is on some snow packed/icy roads (so far pretty darn good). Loving this truck in the snow and am impressed by these Falken AT3Ws so far.

Mostly the untracked stuff was only an inch on top of 4-5 packed inches, but there were some drifts on the uphills that were closer to 12", the 4-high, off-road+, and locked rear blew through them like nothing (tires at hwy pressure). I think my previous Tacoma would've been cutting power about then if it wasn't in 4-low ?

I used my tools to repair my work truck tire…
I was driving home from work at 11:30 pm and the tire pressure light comes on. The dash shows 56psi on the rear driver tire. The other tire is (normal) at 76psi. I’m thinking, “I don’t want to change a tire in the dark, on the side of the highway, and it’s been raining on-and-off.” So I slow down, and hope to make it to my driveway.
I pull in and I can hear the air leaking. The pressure is down to 40psi.
So I break out the tire repair kit and the tool roll.
Tire repaired. Time for a beer!

Have the same tires on my 2012 JKR and I think they’re fantastic! First mod WITH my JT when it comes in.

Thought I found it yesterday on the interstate coming home from fly-fishing, but I was wrong ? (not the right color ?).

Tested out the truck on the trails of Anza borrego and hit the trails at some good speeds. Even with the simple 2" Mopar lift the truck handled surprisingly well. Cruising over the desert terrain at some pretty fast speeds the JCR racks, rtt and all my gear held up just fine. Also partook in a part called Diablos drop. Put the truck in 4 low with sway bar disconnects and cruised through that decline with ease. My girlfriend followed in her JK and although sketchy at the time we both made it.

I hooked onto my car trailer, pulled it out of the snow and went to town to haul plywood and 2x8s (14') as a guy was coming over today to finish the loft floor in my garage and add a window upstairs.

I was able to pull it out and up my neighbors snowy driveway all except the last couple of feet in 2 wheel drive (it started to hop and I didn't want to rip his driveway up)
I was impressed. When I got back I was able to pull the trailer around, unhook, hitch up using the ball on the front and park the trailer all in 2H in the snow. Impressive.
