Re: 2WD Wrangler...?????
A fairly standard trick with the ElCamino is to pop off the hatch on the truck's bed and attach lead weights to the seatbelt mounts (same basic frame as a the stationwagon) to give it traction so it won't sit there spinning it's wheels while the other guy is halfway down the block already... My wife's grandfather used a toolbox full of crap instead. And speaking about a 2wd 'Wrangler' being worse than a sports car in snow, I would have to add anything more difficult than damp beach sand to that list. /herb In article <451d4803$0$20236$a82e2bb9@reader.athenanews.com >, Earle Horton <earle-NOSPAM-horton@msn.com> wrote: #That's why you put sand bags or old cast iron radiators in the back. # #Earle # #"Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message #news:451D233A.68690B0@sympatico.ca... #> Nope, I have seen it also.

Re: 2WD Wrangler...?????
I'm actually quite surprised to hear you say that - I haven't had any
problems with the Wrangler in snow. Perhaps down to the tyres (I'm running 31x10.50 BFG MTs) ? Or may be I've just driven more evil handling cars.
