And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Nothing stops a Jeep, especially if the snow isn't too wet.
When it gets really bad, or I have to plow a driveway or road on the side of a mountain (i.e. most of the time - whether Alaska or Montana), I throw chains on all four wheels on the old Dodge plow truck. It's pretty much unstoppable at that point in 4Low. I've had guys tell me not to chain both the front and rear, but I've been plowing that way with the same truck for 15 years...results matter.
You can get the radiator and engine compartment so packed with snow that the engine seizes up while running. I've seen it happen. Not with a Jeep, but with an International Harvester pick up truck. If the snow is 'wet' enough, it can happen.
What I want to know is what kind of tires is he running?! Pretty fun.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say Thank You for your blog - I really enjoy it.
Likely he has chains on those tires.
