The Colorado front range is getting more snow today. To bad the weather guys only forecast only 18 inches this time. The more the merrier. Me and the VX love playing in the snow. I had to chain her up on all fours xmas day to get to my sisters. Awesome performance in the snow with chains on all fours.

18 inches?! wow... that's a lot more than predicted for around my parts. Where is Pine again? (nearest town/city?).
VX does do great in the snow, even better with upgraded tires. But I do wish the snow fall would give us at least a 'little' reprieve so I can get a chance to wash all the mag chloride off her...
-biju.
Yeah, we got a dab here in Reno last night. Not enough to keep people home, but certainly enough to make people drive 15mph when they don't have to.
Also, about driving in the snow. Last night I dropped my VX into 4WD Low and drove up a hill on the road, just to try it out. What is the recommended speed you should stay under while in 4WD Low? I was coasting along at about 20-25 but I noticed an incredible amount of drag when I let off the gas. Is this normal when in 4WD Low? I kept my main shifter in Drive to avoid high RPMs...

Color me 40 Shades of Jealous! --- The local National Weather Service just announced yesterday that the same trough in the jet stream that’s been responsible for all of the snow that you’ve been getting will continue preventing very much winter weather from visiting us here in West Virginia… For crying out loud, it’s 57* right now – DOH!
I have a whole lot more experience with a 5-speed / Tera-Low’d Rodeo, but last year I did get to play around in the snow with the VX a little bit…Quote:

OK cool, I figured that was about right, and yes, when I let off the gas, she wants to slow down to a crawl it seems. As long as it is normal, I'm cool and the gang...

1.) To test the VX in
2.) I gotta snowboard sometime this year. Just bought a new set up.
Here's a Fresh Pic from Fort Collins....they missed a bunch of the Denver snow today, but the neighborhoods are still only VX accessible. :p

Those VX's really eat it up (the snow that is) ;)
HOLY CRIPES Bim, that thing is CRUMMY!! :freek:
You know, if you hose it down and let the water freeze you could chip off the ice and maybe some of the dirt will come with it. :winkb:
I'm totally kidding. Mine is so dirty right now I have NO room to talk.
Would you believe that it was clean and spotless this morning? If you look closely at part of the front fender, you can see some shine popping through. :rolleyes:
