Yours truly learned that the hard way many years ago! I was driving very slowly in my Jeep and made a left turn doing about 15 MPH. The Jeep promptly threw the rear end out to the right. I countered with the wheel to neutralize the skid---until I ran out of steering wheel. And the Jeep just kept going! ....For about two rounds of 180's while all I could do was hang on for dear life! There was a gentleman on his front porch who really got a kick out of this, slapping his knees and guffawing heartily! :? Needless to say I was quite embarrassed! :oops:

Ice is no respecter of Jeeps! It is quite a different matter! Very little of anything can deal with that stuff!

It's April and not much different than this scene over a year ago.

It hasn't been bad in Indiana. The past two weeks have been nice and I've had the Jeep out a few times!
