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.
Only a Greenhorn would park his rig in snow/cold country with the wipers parked like that. And Anna Martin can go to Hell. I'm sick of her routine. Screw her and her 92 bucks an hour.
I had my old CJ-5 in Boston during the Blizzard of 1978, when the snow was at least that deep. It got around fine so long as I had chains on the real tires. The problem with deep snow is that the vehicle kind of floats on top of it, and the tires quit reaching to the ground.
Should be fine if it's the Renegade with the 304 and the three-speed. Set it in Four Low Lock and go.
It's best to lock the hubs before a snowfall like that, but a "Bastard years" ('72-'75) CJ5 should handle it OK. A lot will depend on the tires and on how much bagged cat litter you threw in the back after you took out the rear seat.
Most of the photo is illusory. The new snow isn't very deep, as shown by the relatively clean Jeep roof, roof, and fenders. It's a very safe bet that there's a set of nearly empty tire tracks barely behind that drift where we aren't permitted to see them.
What model jeep is that?
ReplyDeleteMy dad had one just like that.
Pre 1976 CJ5.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Anna is most likely a computer robot that invades websites that provide free access to comments.

ReplyDeleteA jeep with lockers and bit of momentum can handle snow up to the front bumper...if the tires have the right tread.
ReplyDeleteI put a 350 watt heater in my car when I anticipate snow. keeps the top and windshield clear.
ReplyDeleteone time I went outside and found my neighbors 20+ cats on top of the car. it looked like a Russian fur hat.
Haha - that's smart. Except for the cats.
Deleteput a tarp over the whole thing beforehand
