Ok so today I go snow wheeling with some guys (most of which are cool and extremely built) and we get 45 minutes into the trail. B you would have had fun today. Anyway. This YJ breaks a coolant hose loose. The guy had already sold the rig on ebay the day before so that makes him an asshole on top of an idiot! So we are trying to melt snow and get him something to cool down the engine.... when we finally get enough to fill the radiator. (1.5 hours later) We continue on the same guy runs out of gas... This guy is running around with a 3 gallon fuel cell.... Now my little jeep with 33s only gets around 8 - 12 mpg and he was running 38s. same engine. he only brought a 2 gallon reserve which he already used. We are 40 miles into the mountains from the nearest gas station! I was down to a quarter of a tank on my 18 gallon tank by the time i got back. So we yank him out... a 4 hour process because he has no steering without the engine running so its turning every which way but straight. He had the nerve to ask some people to take him back to town an hour away and get him some gas and go back up so he can sell this broken rig to some guy... I hate people like that!e

B the snow was deeper today then where we went but it was all powder. wasnt too hard getting around. It was the same trail you came and did that one day and some others. it was easier this time with all the snow then when we had all the ice.
