We're enjoying our relitively balmy fall so far...

I'm sure snow like that is just around the corner though...

depends on how low you are, also just go slow if are not too low

also the snow melts in a couple of days around here, all winter long so we have clear and dry roads every couple of days and ice chunks don't get that bad


you could always mount a cattle guard (but call it a ice guard) on your guard

I hate the snow.

It is such a PITA.

I wish I lived some where that didn't EVER get snow.

Seeing this pic just made me really upset because winter is coming.

Im lowered in Tein basics with a 1 finger gap in the front and 0 finger in the rear. you think ill have problems with being stuck in the snow? Oh and also getting new winter tires for this season Michelin Xi2, my Dunlop Sport M3s (thanks kris for suggestion) served me well for 4 seasons now and need to be replaced.

Doubt it if his lower grill is that clogged up all the time..prob insulates some of the heat
You should try to get some compensation tho..looks like you're clearing the roads pretty well

Some of you dudes obviously don't see the potential of the white flakes. I would take this any day seeing that the sleds and board are waiting... Summer time, the wake board and j skis are waiting as well. Best of both worlds. Can't wait to get a true kite.

i only have yokohama all season tires on, so with true snow tires you are alot better off, also i am about the same in the front, and maybe a little bit higher in the rear (front has sagged a little though[H&R spring and bilstein shocks, so no adjustability to go up])
and remember momentium (spelling) is your friend i could not get through the gutter at the end of the driveway and had to back up and get some momentium to get through it gutter is a flat one like the crosswalk ramps that you see at intersections

that is why i cleaned it out after the picture was taken, mom took picture before i even got out, (thats why you don't see any foot prints)
you could say it insulates it some, but the main thing is no airflow through the lower grill, but it was 27F degrees (warm by some standards though, stupid ) out and i did have the heater on which takes some of the heat away, so in reality the radiater does not need a whole lot of air flow to keep the engine cool
