The family and I went to detroit today..... we came across much white stuff as we headed for elk lake.

This is at the powerline just after turning off the main road near brightenbush.




Here are some from the gravel pit area. This is as far as we went without having another vehicle with us. I broke the trail in, right at a foot of fresh snow.





These are above brightenbush



Then we decided to drive over the pass to the Mt. Washington view point. This is what we captured.







This is one of lost lake.



I must say, I was way more happier with the performance of my jeep today then I have ever been. Going up to Elk lake, I was breaking the trail and most of the time I was in two wheel drive. When I did go to 4x4, it was high gear and no problems. At the gravel pit I showed my wife and daughter what the rig could do. What a difference taller and wider tires make.

yeah, thats awesome. i under no circumstances condone wheeling by yourself but if shoes do go be safe. and shoes were safe,

those that try to go untill they cant go anymore, end up not being able to turn around either!

we should get shoes a winch and some on board air and shoes'll be set!

jeep looks awesome and i knew shoes'd be happy with the performance!

I have a ramsey 8000 winch off of another jeep, it doesnt have the remote and I took the solenoids apart to clean them up. I hot wired it to see if it would work and it started smoking, not sure if the motor is bad or if the connections are just dirty. I meow have two ways of getting air, #1 is from my jump box/air compressor ( which is terribly slow), #2 is from the new electric copmressor I just bought (supposed to be able to air up a 35x12.5 tire in three minutes.

92 limited. leather. power everything.

it's a little hashed but the mechanics are perfect except for a leaking oil pressure sending unit.
