My first winter in a JK, and all I can say is WOW. I can't believe the traction even in 2wd in snow and ice, Also the anti lock works better the my last SUV, or my wife's Nissan Altima.

 

i love driving in the snow

but i mean, .. let it snow already! it's coming down outside but like blowing sideways and not sticking, just blowing upon crevices.. like a dry snow i guess you'd say.. snow plows are now my enemy this time of year.

 

Last Job I had to drive to work before the roads were plowed at all. JEEP blazed a trail through 6'' + no problem. Now that is fun.

 

Also my first year with a JEEP let alone 4 x 4...I love it...
So far we haven't had a storm yet...I'm waiting...

 

The JK is great in snow/ice on-road. My TJ was horrible in the snow if it wasn't in 4x4, I remember being embarassed trying to get out of a store parking once with like 2" of snow on the ground. Often I don't even need 4x4 with the JK. Those newfangled, wiz-bang electronic gizmos can be beneficial

 

If you have a rubi with the bfg mt's, you will want 4 wheel drive on packed snow and ice, trust me. The mt's are like a pig on ice, in fact the stock sahara or x tires would be better.

 

you dont have to have a rubi to get stuck in packed snow. First snow fall sent me for studded winter tires. I rarely have to use 4 x 4 now, great traction even in 2 wd. My recomend to everyone is to get rid of the stock tires and get a set of winters.

 

I replaced the stock SRA's with BFG AT'S, and they are great, in snow and ice.

 

I agree the JK is great in the snow. My wife had a Liberty before and that was great also but not as good as the JK. I had Goodyear Silent Armors put on when I got it and they are a great snow tire. I had them on the Liberty also and have them on my Cummins Diesel. Best tire I have used in the snow.
The Breaks are great also, I can hardly git it to skid on the snow, the antilocks hardly ever kick in.

 

You Jeep is only as good in the snow or on ice as the tires your using, well, and your driving style of course
