Ok I totally had enough of this day-in and day-out ice cold bull schitt. Day after day, week after week, month after month.
I HAD ENOUGH I want warm roads, and I want warm tires. I'm really hating not having enough traction to be able to get on it in first gear anymore. I don't have any rocket ship, tons of you are waaaaaaay faster. Not being able to get on it from a stop "or even a roll" is truly getting upsetting, it outright sucks. Now I know why our L Bro Chim Shady drives around on slicks.
BTW
WHERE YOU BEEN CHIM ???

You guys know what I'm talking about, you gotta have the same problem ? I don't want to kill it, I don't even wan't to juice it (well maybe) I just want to be able to get on it IN FIRST GEAR. Thats not asking for too much is it ? I can drive around with 25 lbs in them and still get no traction, How are you "cold climate owners" dealing with this schitt ?

I WANNA FLOOR MY TRUCK IN FIRST GEAR GOT DAM IT

I wish I could help you. I bought my 03 Sonic Blue L Feb. 10th.
I haven't driven it much, but took it out on a Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago. Snow started, by the time I got home I was doing 30mph on the highway and really happy to get home again with 1/2" of snow on the road. It stayed parked 'til the roads dried. (My other truck is a 01 Screw 4wd.) My L will stay in the garage if I see any snow in the air. Good luck! Hang in there. The snow should melt by July. LOL

 

I had the same problem so i bought traction bars. If they arent enougth to make me hook ill order some nitto555rs'

 

Leaving Home Depot tonight, I hit a small patch of black ice and the backend swung out. Funny part was that I was only at idle

THIS WINTER NEEDS TO END !!!!

 

Well since you have NO TREAD on your tires , I would say it is time for Nittos 555rs.

today was the last day below freezing here. tomorrow its gonna be 47 and then it only gets warmer!! by the time i'm back from cancun it should be in the mid-50s

 

My wife did ok in the snow & ice. She just put a little weight on the back of the L.

You make you Lightning sit in the snow and freeze his blower off and you stick and Explor on his back ! Shame on you !!!



BTW rob i feel you pain ! In do time my Brother !

 

shouldnt that set-up be the other way around?

 

I just send mine down to JDM every winter, once the snow is gone I pick her up.

 

Free storage?

 

Sorry Guys for going off,

I have Cabin Fever soooooooo bad lately.
Even the News last night said we're off by 20
degrees compared to the NORMAL TEMPS for March.
The 30's and 40's would feel like heaven right now
compared to this single digit crap every dam day
(for months on end)

I just want to be able to push the gas pedal down
in first without going side ways.

I sit in work staring out the window all day
I really can't take much more of this.
I want my traction back
BTW V
That picture of my tires is from LAST SUMMER

How are Nittos 555rs in the cold ???

WHEN IS THIS CRAP GONNA GO AWAY

 

Yesterday it dropped down to around 87 degrees. I had to ask the pool man to move his truck before I could even get out of the garage!!! I don't know how much longer I can stand it

 

Some people just like to rub it in....

Thank god today is going to be 55... too bad the wife wanted the truck to go play in

 

I have NO traction problems driving this
