Start/stop slowly and smoothly. Don't put yourself in a situation where you need to hammer brakes. Try to drive in off-peak hours to eliminate the other idiots in the road problem
Go slow and the brakes aren't your friend. Take a drifting class and avoid the side barriers, because if you start to drift and hit it with your front left wheel, you'll go for a not so fun roll. Did that in 2012 with vehicle that was 4 months old. Wasn't snowing but hit black ice.
Yeah we all take drifting classes up here. Literally the only way to survive winter.
LMAO. I drove in Oklahoma during one of their biggest blizzards and my drift experience was the only way I was able to get gas. Just wish I'd known how to ice skate better, because the machine wasn't taking my card and the trip inside proved more perilous
If there is snow, clean off both sides of the windshield, not just the driver side. I actually saw someone driving like that, drivers side clean, passenger side had around 4 inches of snow on it. It wasn't even snowing at the time, it snowed the previous day.
and that is the science of drift
VERY WELL SAID. Slight corrections and don't be the guy that uses lockers on road. It's a mistake that makes for costly lesson.
I've hated Goodyear tires in the snow especially the duratrax with my GMC 2500 duramax. I put Falken Wildpeak AT3, now AT4s, on all my vehicles. Quieter, last longer and works great in snow. I live rural in North Dakota. I'm sure I will be swapping to them on the RHO. They are also awesome on our jeep grand cherokee trailhawk. I don't give driving lessons for snow
+1 Goodyears dry rot in AZ in less than 2 years but Falken Wildpeaks are excellent. Haven't tried the AT4's but they'll definitely be next tire for me as well.I've hated Goodyear tires in the snow especially the duratrax with my GMC 2500 duramax.

I don't have a TRX, but I do have a Wrangler with the performance hood that has two heat vents to bleed off heat. A little different concept than an intake, but a hole in the hood nonetheless. I live in central Ohio where we regularly get snow in the winter. Not Buffalo, New York snow, or Montana snow, but decent snow in the winter. Never been an issue with clogging the vents; they bleed off heat when the engine is running. I assume an intake would be similar and give off some heat. Shouldn't be an issue while the engine is running. When parked outside in a snow storm, it's never been a problem. If it's a super heavy, wet snow or you've got some ice/sleet, wouldn't hurt to clear it before you start up the engine. But I've had no issues.
Thanks for the input and reply. Super stoked to get this truck just was concerned about that.
