I decided to drive 30 miles into the sticks to my favorite gyro place and found myself driving into low visibility with some snow and serious high winds about 1/2 way there.

Holy heck she was getting pushed around when those headwinds shifted from side to side on those flat rural roads 😵

A couple of years ago we drove from San Antonio to Durango and happened to be going against a big-time cold front that was roaring down from the plains. Gas mileage got super-ridiculous as we pointed north into a direct headwind of 30+ mph constant wind. After spending the night, we hung a left out of Amarillo and that wind was now from our right and, holy cow, that was brutal! Literally drove most of the day gripping the steering wheel with a hard right death grip until we were almost into Albuquerque before the crosswind finally let up. Truly the biggest impact by high winds that I've ever had in any vehicle.

The Jeep saved the bacon tonight. My daughter was visiting her friend tonight and parked in the yard…. In the rainy wet yard. Yeah she buried the tires trying to get out. I had to go recover her. I had to use a tow strap because I do not own a recovery strap yet but it went good, She jacked around for an hour or so trying to get out on her own and I had her on solid ground in 10 seconds once hooked up.

Since it was a towing strap I just took it nice and easy. Hooked to a solid spot under her cars back end and looped the strap and hooked the metal hooks together and just eased it back to solid ground. No jerking or anything to try and create missiles with the hooks

Did all 3 BOH at Rausch Creek today. 2021 JLUR 6-speed. I have the red factor 55 hook on front and shovel on the tailgate.

Traill 11. More like a rough dirt road with some deep ruts

Crawl Daddy. Man this was not easy for me. Snow/ice made everything slippery. Got high centered once and needed a bump with the winch, and I'm on 37 inch KM3s with an AEV 2.5 lift (more like 3 inches) :
