Bummer but lucky you were able to fix!

Yesterday's trip turned into spending three hours getting 3 full size pickups unstuck from snow.

Little update, ended up swapping sport axles to built JK D44/D44 axles with oem e-lockers which have helped.

Have Hutchinsons sitting in the garage; waiting on big tires to ship.

More to come.

It's a new season. Here's some photos to get us stoked.

First snowfall. Mayyyybe eight inches.

That's a good recommendation, thank you. At this time I'm looking for a more streetable, longer-lasting tire. I'm not getting the impression those are the type of tire you want to go on a road trip with. If I had an extra set of snow wheels/tires I'd definitely try to run those.

I'm glad you responded, you seem very active in the snow community.

It's summer, I didn't snow wheel as much as I wanted this past winter however the winter before was epic. I had mentally planned to go to 37s/beadlocks this fall in preparation for 2019/2020 winter but wanted some input.

Three JKU's. Two on 35s and one on 37s. All three 5-7psi.

Goal was to scope out before a May camping trip.
Started in Ellensburg and made it to maybe-roughly-I have no idea half the way to Cashmere because of a stubborn down tree that we didn't have a chainsaw for. Spent way too ...

Returned to the same spot.
6-9pm. Same two vehicles. Same psi.
Trail leveled out at about 2,300ft.
Top layer of snow was medium-icy and 8-12 inches of powder underneath.
Quite possibly no new snow; passed our original progress with ease. New progress was also fairly easy.
Tracks older than ...

Started at 1,300ft made it to about 2,300ft.
35s on 15s @ 5psi
Snow looked wetter than it was. Cruised probably halfway through the elevation and then forward progress was made 20-30yds at a time by backing up and ramming at 5-15mph.
Turned into more work than it was worth as we were just ...
