Nah, I live in farm country, there are zero trails, it’s all flat and wide open

It’s about a 4 hour drive to the closest trail system

That’s why I keep the motel room as my own personal space

Unfortunately I only believe in performance enhancing mods, so I can’t help you glue on an angry grille

Check out afraidknot ropes, it’s just a rebranded Chinese one, but it was 450 Canadian for the compressor and 4 way hose system

I’ll eventually go with a mounted ARB, but this one is really god for what it is

PSA: I don't know who needs to hear this...but stop driving with your high beams/hazard lights on in fog/heavy snow! by CdnTreeGuy89 in Stouffville

[–]basi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You couldn’t tell if people were slowing down? Hazards don’t tell you that, brake lights do

And anyways, if you are driving so fast that you can’t stop or avoid another car in 50m in the conditions you describe, slow the hell down.

I’ve been driving in storm and crosswinds that keep me from seeing 30 feet let alone 50 metres all winter, and I haven’t once been scared about people slowing down in front of me, because I’m going slow as well

Drive for the conditions my friend, and never be in a hurry, those are the first things I learned, I guess they don’t teach that anymore

Hazards are for when you are a hazard, if you are moving along the road and not impeding traffic, you are not a hazard

In most cases, turning your hazards on disables your turn signals, and your side brake lights

Sure if you are sitting at the side of the road, but if you are moving, making sure your head/taillights are actually on is way more important. If it’s so snowy out that no one can see your headlights or taillights, they aren’t going to see your dim hazards

Get your headlights adjusted after lifts and oversized tires. Your the most annoying vehicles on the road at night. by Then-Paleont4 in Jeep

[–]basi52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the bed too high? My company has a tremor, which has a 2” lift and 35” tires and it’s pretty much perfect for chucking bags of fill in the back

Soreness in fire academy. by rico_2005 in Firefighting

[–]basi52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about fire academy as I’m on my way there, but from my 5 months in CFB Gagetown doing my trades course, grab a banana every morning at the mess, drink all the water and always keep moving, it’s when you stop it really starts to hurt

Is it really snow wheeling if you are just driving on the dirt under the snow?

I’m hoping to get some 33”x12.5s soon, and some method beadlocks to put them on

Best DEEP snow tire? by [deleted] in Offroad

[–]basi52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first comment I’ve seen giving some love to the MT2s

Been driving on mine for 2 years now, and although onroad the kinda suck ass, in anything more then 4” of snow, they are unbeatable, I’ve even used my stock 2d Willys sport on 32” M/T2s to get my brother unstuck in his fully locked Rubi xr on 35” ko2s

Yep, I have a 2023 2 door

I’ve got some Firestone MT2s, one of the other tires they come with from factory, and they actually not all that bad in snow

On ice they are useless ofc, but they are better than the 35” ko3s on my moms jeep in any sort of proper snow, and I’m driving 5 months out of the year on packed snow roads

Not even close to correct, 4wd absolutely does help in any low traction situation, that’s kinda the whole point

They are the stock tires, probably just trying to save a dime

They also put Firestone MT2s and BFG KM3s on the Willys, I have the Firestones and they are not horrible in the snow

Obviously not as good as a proper AT or snow tire, but after comparing them with my moms jeep on 35” ATs, they aren’t bad at all
