Cant do cars any good to sit with ice like that forming on them. Not even been able to wash it in the 3 weeks we've had it. OCD is getting to me..

Yeh it does, its been undefeated so far by the snow. Just has road tyres on it aswell, although there pretty chunky pattern. Its permanent 4wd, 4wd locked, or 4wd lo box with locked diffs too. Some good videos o youtube of them going where you wouldn't think they could.
Only negative depending how you look at it is it loves to go sideways. Was doing donuts in it this morning when I dropped the other half off at work. Didnt go down well with her.

Obvious answer here for you but Snap on.. I'm in the trade so have the snap on van in at work every week. £18 from them or you can get them on ebay for around £25.

That's nothing. My van had 10" of snow on the bonnet this morning (about 8" on roof).

Been out playing, everywhere I found already had tracks from other 4x4's so wasn't all that hard to get anywhere.

To be honest I think it would cope without being locked 90% of the time, I just lock it because I'm scared of getting stuck in middle of nowhere on my own.

It was -8.5 this morning, couldn't see through any windows and water on it froze instantly so put de-icer on it and that froze pretty much instantly too, so had a nice 3-4mm thick ice sheet to scrape off the window
