No you don't, because that would mean you would have to live through winter. I hate this cold weather

driving in snow is alot different than normal conditions ofcourse..escpecially with only 2WD and an open diff..

i think the only place snow got on my truck was the lower shock mounts and arms..and on the wheels and tires..no where else..

and im gonna go out and drive again in just a little bit..more pics soon..
