Ive had the swb and now got a lwb and had them both in the snow, I think the lwb just tips in favour due to weight, or maybe I just got better at driving in the snow

Like any car go slow, just because your in 4wd your not invincible

Even on mud yesterday I lost it in 4wd and nearly went into some trees, everyone following on the muddy track laughed then I looked into my rear view mirror and even the heavily modded trucks did exactly the same thing and all nearly hit the trees, It was my turn to laugh

Cautious is the name of the game.

If you cant get some where on snow after a couple of attempts its unlikely you will make it as the snow will have polished or even frozen if cold enough so you have less chance, just find a new route, ain't worth sliding into some thing



And my old shorty

It is a pain swapping in and out of 4wd when theres patches of slippy and parthes of tarmac.
You can drop out of 4wd without reversing and drive for a bit on the tarmac, then slip into 4wd when needed. It leaves the hubs locked, but importantly the driveshaft disengaged.

Just remember to reverse a bit when your done to disengage hubs.

Oh and one point always strikes me in these in the snow, they corner great in 4wd, but on winding lanes you forget about the stopping distances because it does feel a bit invincible.

My A/T's have the stud holes but I think the local council would get miffed with me if I got them put in.

My council tax would go up foe the raod repairs
Stick to the lanes
