Okay, April first is in the Spring, right?
So, it's only taken me four and a half months to notice that I didn't post the pictures.
The snow is all gone now, in August, but the pictures help me feel a little cooler.

They do but mostly putting brine down pre-storm. It was still frozen up good so shouldn't hurt it much, not to mention we are going to do a proper frame/under carriage treatment to it soon (he bought it in December for a christmas present for his wife)

We got 18" in that storm last week so I couldn't resist getting the Jeep out to see how the tires and lockers would do in the deep snow.

Yeah I know. they're there it's just that photobucket is down for maintenance today so the link won't access it.
edit: Now they're showing but I got a duplicate and can no longer edit it.

That's a nice picture of a nice Jeep.
Were you satisfied with the effect of the lockers?
Does that photo illustrate "stuck" or were you able to proceed from there?

Well it wasn't much of a test to reach any conclusion. Theres a TruTrac in the front and a Detroit in the rear. And with that much snow my axles and suspension were plowing.
It wasn't stuck but it would go no further unless I backed up and took a short run at it again, then I could gain about a Jeep length. This was in my backyard. When the forward momentum would stop it would dig down and I didn't want to find my yard all bitched up come spring. So I only tried the hill 3 times. I couldn't get any speed at it since I had to straddle my well head and then cross a 2' hump. It was more of a crawl test
