That's sweet! When and where are these....Snofari's? I too am in Michigan. Hoping to go some year.Loved my YJ in the snow when it was together, drift busting was a favorite past time.
My CJ is what goes with me to the annual snow run these days though. It has done better than TJ's on 40's.
One of the first Snofari's in Michigan before my winches and top. I was open/open that run too and I think it handled better than it does now locked.
No that is my 2A wearing a M38 Aluminum Arctic top. I damaged that top pretty bad last year and now have a MB hardtop on it.I cannot multi quote on mobile, so this post reflects the last few posts...
John, do that twin stick and modify the shift rails to give FWD in high range!
In that second pic of the Snofari, is that a '6 with a steel hardtop?
On the pavement in the snow? Or on the pavement all the time?Matt1981CJ7 said:Tom, That's the reason I've decided to either go with selectable lockers, or keep mine open. I don't care for the way a locked CJ handles on pavement, at all. :thumbdown: Matt
can you modify it to only have that option.You can only do FWD Hi if you have removed the shift rail pills or modified the shift rails. Otherwise you have every combination but Fwd Hi...
I think when I pull mine to do the 5.0 swap, I'll be modifying the rail to have that option. It needs new seals and gaskets anyway.
Would you even be able to move in that situation?John Strenk said:can you modify it to only have that option. I don't really want to worry about my kids putting it into 4Hi front 4 low back.
