Wildman Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm sure most every one heard that Buffalo area got socked last Thursdays / Friday. I never even got a chance to get the '88 MJ ready for plowing- The pile of bush is tree tops where the truck is usually parked, good thing i moved it Thursday night- 24 inches of snow, No problem for a MJ- And picking up the mess, just raking up the leaves with the branches still attached- Saturday, the Sun came out, temps up to 55 degrees, and most of the snow was melted, and by Sunday, almost no snow anywheres. What a weekend. My power was out for 2 days, and no cable for 3 days, so late posting this. About 1/3 of this area is still with out electric, and the mass cleanup in taking place. Time to start thinking about a warmer climate, and this is only October :roll: Wildman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemsee Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 whats this "snow" you speak of ?:D It is a white slippery substance that is fun to drive your Jeep in, similar to MUD, but easier to clean. :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here at Shaw we are "lucky" to even ge6t any frozen stuff. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 24"? I bet your schools didn't even start late. Here in DE the national guard would have been deployed and every store in three states would have been out of toliet paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeNew Name Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well sounds like your getting a taste of some good ol'e Canadian weather down there. I haven't driven an mj in the winter, and quite frankly I don't think I would. I have a 1985 Chevy K5 Blazer with a 350, 3.73. I use this during the winter and everyday for that matter. Enjoy the clean up :roll: and good thing you moved your mj on thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 an mj with a detroit in the rear is loads of fun in the ice and snow ;) heck my 88 2wd eliminator got itself out of 2' deep snow one year. it was covered in a drift also. i cleared the snow out of the way of the drivers door and rocked it a few times and it pulled right out.

mjeff87 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 mine was a tank when it was 2WD if I put chains on it, and made sure I didn't get one wheel in a rut. If it was locked it would have been unstoppable ;) Since I converted it (going on 3 winters now) it has failed to snow more than a dusting down here. I've yet to yank the 4WD lever except for mud :cry: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenosha Warrior Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I went out to my MJ. I had 2ft of snow on the hood. And unplowed roads as I'm driving home + grille, holey old header panel and no cover on the relay's = funky-@$$ electronics as I made my crawl home. heat-dryed all the connectors out overnight and for good measure, plugged in the block heater. Cranked and started like a dream thismorning, I need gas tho haha. a foot and change worth of snow over the day yesterday here. Ive got the fron'a the MJ jammed full of cardboard with a hole cut in the centre of the piece that covers the rad. jeeeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Just spent 15 mins with a hammer and long flat screwdriver hacking salt-filled snow off my MJ. A lil' love never hurts, as Ive got original rockers and I'm in Ontario haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
