It's Time to make the Donuts!!! The beauty is you all don't have any salt or brine to put on the roads.
Malleus
Far west of Siegen
Maybe, but you can't fly in it...at least not according to the Houston airport.

Was going to say just that. Y'all got more than we did for sure.
You have to take it in the snow, before they salt the roads, it is way too much fun. Air down.
2 errors in the above...
Somewhere between 6" & 7"
It’s one of Julie’s Dirt Road ones, that I ordered from her in the summer of 2019. Real Steel sold me the bow set and I had them powder coated.
Drove around in the slush & snow for a while out near Clear Lake. Pretty much a record for Houston.

Honest question as I don't have a lot of 4WD experience. In icy conditions do you carry and use chains? (If there is a better forum for this LMK.)
Yes. And you want ice breaker chains with a hardened V bar. Get the octopus bungie cord tensioner. Chains work in mud too,
If you think you might need 4WD then turn the hubs in now. It is 10 times easier to drive onto the chains when you can still move than to put them on when you are stuck. I can chain up the front axle of the 40 without getting wet/muddy and that's usually enough.
There is an inside and outside to chains. Put them on correctly or you can damage your tires. I cut my chains to fit with 1 extra link, no floppy bits wagging about. Make sure one of the bungie hooks is threw the chain lock so it can't pop loose. Put your chains on at least once in a nice place so you understand how to do it.
Have a several gallon bucket or bag to put them in. I have like 8 pr of cotton jersey gloves in the bucket. I pair for each wheel to put on and 1 pair to take them off.

It snowed for Christmas at Ft Gordon Ga (Augusta) back in 74. Was comical watching people try and drive
Can’t believe you guys ended up getting snow. My brother lives just outside Pensacola and they received some as well.
This never happens down here. I lived in Colorado for over a decade and I always wanted to see snow down here so this is something special
I only know what I read here in a thread, maybe she had a fire or something, and she has a backlog of orders. Not sure what’s happening with Real Steel.Looks great. I've read she doesn't do them anymore!!?
