Paid $3.07 on Sunday in Cle Elum, WA (central cascades), just paid $3.34 at the same place. Still almost $1.50 cheaper than in the Seattle area

Yeah, 4L unlocks the fun stuff. It also has the benefit of helping with lower auto transmission temps. May not be as much of an issue with these vehicles but in my '96 3g 4runner it lowers them by ~30 degrees. Sucks on the fuel mileage though...

I believe you can only lock the front in 4L. In Mud/Ruts it defaults to 4H, but you probably can put it into 4L

I think where people misunderstand the 4A Slippery mode is that it doesn't say 4A is the only 4 wheel drive mode available, it just says it's the default with an Advanced 4x4 Transfer Case. While 2H is not available in Slippery, 4A (default), 4H, and 4L are all available. If you had it in 4H...

but more capable too

Awesome talent. Just watched a documentary on his 2022 Chase of the North American Rally Championship. Such a loss

Check the inside of the wheel. That's where the clearance is important so they don't rip out brake lines, ABS sensors, etc. and/or hang up on the upper control arm.

I had an idiot come around a corner to fast in fresh snow. Somehow I avoided him but ended up in ditch sitting on my frame rails. No wheel contact, no movement. He slid off the road too about 200 yards down. He had shovel furiously trying to dig himself out. Had someone stop and pulled me. Don't...

and that's after it's already gone through the PNW

Current conditions https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/850hPa/orthographic=-107.44,33.24,459 you can nerd out on wind, temp, etc and at different elevations (as shown by pressure in hpc - hectopascals)

How'd the tranny and axles like it? I've had to drive around real slow for a while to let things limber up (just like me)

Originally optioned it, but took it off when I was trying to get built. Don't get into real cold very often, i.e. -20f and below. Do have a trip in the future where it will probably see -35f or lower. Will probably look into heating pads on the oil pan/trans pan. Did that on the Jeep and...

I'm sure Toyota has a couple more years of different weird color options on the same ol' thing before they actually put out a redesign. They need to reverse engineer as much off the Bronco as they can before they actually release any thing, much like the Tundra is a Toyota F150, and the new...

Studded Nokians on ice are the bomb😉

Yeah, they typically shut everything down when it gets to that point. With all the truck traffic and people that shouldn't be on the road in a light rainstorm, it's best that they shut things down

Not true. In fact just today they were requiring ALL vehicles to have chains on Snoqualmie Pass, including AWD. Of course that lasted about 20 minutes before they shut the pass down. In fact all the passes are shut down. Nice big shitshow out there...

A point to make though. Just because you have 4WD and possibly good tires, that doesn't mean you are invincible. I agree chains aren't needed, and if they are you shouldn't be on the road. I believe you can run them, but only on the rear, I believe there is clearance issues on the front...

Must have been a bug. Since when do they react to negative feedback...

Maybe that's why they have a button on the steering wheel to turn it off?
