Re: My Jeep w/ bad computer
Yikes! I hate doing anything outside in the winter! We got lucky w/ a
nice day today, but I'm sure it will go swiftly downhill from here. We've already had two decent snowstorms, and a bad ice storm. The jeep is amazing in snow, but about as bad as anything else in the ice. I think that's all about luck! I couldn't believe how my big pig (Crown Vic w/ the takeoff gearing, ffffaasssssttttt!) did w/ chains on the tires. The bad part is that I live on top of a mountain so I have to go down or up to go anywhere! Mary |

Hi Mary,
Just a suggestion... add your vehicle information to your signature... then we don't have to go back and find your original post to identify your vehicle. I was going to suggest the "Nutter Bypass" to eliminate your computer, but I don't think it applies to your 94 YJ.

Re: My Jeep w/ bad computer
Nothing drives well on ice. I remember seeing WWII vintage footage from
the Battle of the Bulge showing a tank sliding off an icy roadway -- sideways. That your Crown Vic does well in chains isn't too much of a surprise. It is one of the reasons that it is base for the standard police vehicle. Mary wrote: > Yikes! I hate doing anything outside in the winter!
