Ok here's one that experience taught me.  snowmobile trails are a lot of fun in a canyon cuz you stay on top, but when you reach the summit and the track widens you sink :hammerhead:  I thought i was going to have to get my truck in the spring.  I was amazed that myself and 7 other guys were able to use a lot of tree branches to get my old truck out.  remember trees are your friend :thumbs: btw snowmobiles can't pull you out cuz of the type of clutch they have.  so don't get a false sense of security.  I've personally deemed snow and water not for trucks, but for boats and skis.  but then moab is not too big of a drive for me!  It's not worth the electrical headaches and getting stuck unpredictably. 

I want to clarify one thing.  In the snow lockers should only be used on trails,  if you daily drive in a snowy area please get a selectable locker if possible.   Open diffs offer the best traction, and you will want 4x4.  locked diffs will put you off the road on snowy paved roads, and especially ice! :ack: 

having said that be ready to spend the night and have fun.  Snow is a good time as long as you don't push limits like i always do :sly:
Bring on EJS
