Jeep Crew Saves The Icy/Snowy Day: Helps Pull Drivers Stuck on Interstate 20

[emilboya]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but the Dallas/Fort Worth area had an ice storm, as you may know DFW is never ready for any amount of snow/ice. But these Jeep owners helped a bunch of stranded motorist

3 Jeeps strapped to that semi

There were 30 Semi's that could not get up the hill and they all got dragged up.
I was able to get a few up some hills by myself and I will give a ton of credit to my Yoko X-MT's getting traction on solid ice...Awesome tire

Good work. I’d be afraid of this happening strapped to the semi’s.

They have hills in Texas? I've been on ice like that and it's not hard to just slide off the road and into the ditch. Impressive how they all teamed up to help.

After watching the chain of them tugging on that big semi I began to wonder. How much force the frame of the first vehicle connected in front of the truck had exerted on it?

Did y’all see this in the ABC news tonight? Quick blurb about the jeeps helping to move vehicles off the highway

This is awesome to see, people helping people and while most drivers would never think twice, this TRULY means allot to these truck drivers, not only as it's their living at stake as they get paid by the load, not by the hour. And it also helps to keep our local stores stocked and economy moving!

Way to go fellow Jeep owners....

It's not as 'bad' as one would think actually, when I had my Snow removal company, we used to assist the Semi's that were stuck in loading docks. It's more about getting traction and just a bit of momentum to get and then keep it moving.

A true team effort for something like this, and pulling up an incline like this. As mentioned, ICE is nasty stuff, and doesn't take much to lose traction and end up wherever the road / highway incline is taking you.

Proper Snow & Ice tires are the only thing that can really help (some), as even with the best tires, you hit that Ice and the momentum of your vehicle is taking you for a ride.

Appreciate your efforts, and comments about ice performance with the Yoko's.
