    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...

    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.

    Kinda looks like a kid eating spagetti (You know, like in a highchair, with a bib!) Only in a good way!
    Those VX's really eat it up (the snow that is)
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    HOLY CRIPES Bim, that thing is CRUMMY!!
    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.
    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.

    4 low

    I used to plow my neighbors driveways just by driving back and forth a few times, so they could get their cars out of their garages and to the main streets.
    I used to drive in bogs deep enough to let water come through the doors, even the dipstick would still be above water. I did add longer axle vent hoses.
    I even drove it over the concrete wall that seperates oncoming traffic.
    And over logs 3 feet in dia.

    I love my VX but it has it's limits.

    I agree with all who say 4 low is only for poor traction and lower speeds.

    I could "crab" my 1 ton in a circle insde of its length. you can really feel the front tires pulling sidways. Yes I did break many U-joints.
    But I was young.

    We had snow here today but I only used the power button to clean up any slippery spots. I save 4 low for at least 5-6" of snow.


    I won't touch the warming issue other to say during WWll, they were burning cities daily. Modern cities and cars produce a large amount of heat and runoff. but with mountains over a mile high. I doubt there could ever be a "Waterworld".
    , unless mountains sink?
