    If you're anywhere near MN come on out on any lake. All of the free skid pad use you want.

    ya I had the rig in a empty parking lot just to play around with the jakes and Johnson bar on some ice and snow to see how it acts but its not the same as getting up past 5 mph and having the room to see what happins and how to get control of it, in my 4 wheeler im not terrified of driving in the snow, but i get in the truck and its like ive never drove in this crap before and i grew up around it, guess it just takes time. I went over Tennessee pass in northern Colorado this morning in a good snow fall, im a little more confident in the winter driving but i still get a little nervous when theirs sharp turns and snow on the road, and like vail and Eisenhower have big pot holes and crazy bumps in the road get me nervous, that is the only time i almost got into a wreak is going up hill and hitting a bump in the road or going threw slush and getting throwin around, maby next winter ill get a little better and get her over 20 mph lol
