Baby experienced her first snow storm today. She's been out in it in the recent past, but not as nasty as it was this AM.
I proved the 4x4 worked, the t-case coupling is good, however, the tires I don't think are cut out for this stuff. It was SLIPPERY out there.

they are great cars  I used to work at AMC dealer 86 to 94 or sojust keep an eye on the vacuum shift modulators on front axle and hoses that go to trans case switch if they get chafed or hooked in branches they rupture and no 4x4 . These cars were so much fun the eagle spirit wagon i bought for my mother  had a trans skid plate on it and we could go wheeling till it was stuck on rocks then wed hang off the front or rear bumper teeter tottering to get unstuck . Great car just take her to the drive thriough car wash and shes all cleaned up for sunday church. No other manufarurer would ever build something like that  except maybe subaru.
