Well every once in a while mother nature throws you a curve! We had spent a beautiful four days on the Oregon Coast the first week of January. We had a couple days of sunshine and a couple days of rain temps in the mid 40's. Then it came time to head home, temps dropped to very low 30's and then it came!
remember a 4X4 may get going on slippery roads, but they can't stop any quicker, every one has 4 wheel brakes.

Did you not notice the following distance I have to the rig in front of me??
I had plenty of traction and power to be on his bumper if I was stupid. I am well aware of the limitations of four wheel drive. I just wish others like you were also!!
In addition we were required to stop on a decent uphill grade for a spin out into a guard rail with a SP trouper on site. No issues getting going.
On this day I had 8 wheel brakes and used with caution!!
Others Like me ??? I'm glade you know me so well.
I like others like me know very well stopping distance isn't changed with the number of wheels driving.
