Re: It's Snowing in Atlanta in March!

The chin cover will be a welcome addition. After getting a balaclava I was amazed at the extra comfort and heat retention.

Hey Easy Rider, glad you made it out for a ride, maybe the weather will stay above 45 during the days for you now and you can get a ride in regularly.

very true, but the bfg mudders are rated 8 out of 10 in the snow. not quite sure i buy it but that is what they rate them at. i think i might have a bit of a problem with my 4wheel drive also.. some times it seems to work great and others it seems to barley work at all

Re: It's Snowing in Atlanta in March!

Possibly compared to other mudders they are 8 out of 10. Had a full size Bronco with a rear locker and it was not near as good as a 2 wheel Ranger with 4 Good Year ice radials in the snow. Oh, just remembered. Had some Firestone all season radials on the Bronco that work like magic but were so loud I needed ear protection and their vibration due to tread design was so bad I had to replace most front end parts long before their time. I tossed the tires before they wore out.
