If your losing traction you don't have a good 4x4 rig.

It doesn't matter how good the rig is if all four wheels are on ice lol.

That's where studs come in. Been there done that. Just takes more prep

Also this is why I'm only advocating for back roads and rural roads to not be plowed. And to have people prepare themselves for that kindve environment instead of relying on us as a society to try and stop the weather from doing what it does.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
