Sure I'll take all the Frs/BRZ owners with me we will take over SoCal. I could also enlist you into the Unites Stares Marine Corps and get you a free paid 4 year tour out of New Jersey with the chance of traveling the world lol.

however my issue now ISNT tires, or the car its simple ground clearance. i'm not slammed but i am on coilovers, with weather like today its just smarter to stay home or take another car. i'd like to keep my bumper in one piece.

Yeah I was doing some plowing

FRS + Snow (and I mean real snow fellas) = Death Trap

You are not really driving, you are tip toeing

I'm seriously tempted. LOL
No, I'm really serious.

I'm currently working full-time job but I sometimes feel my life is way too boring

I've been getting around in my LM-60s. For future big storms I will probably add some sandbags to the rear. You get around/not stuck just fine, but sometimes it just seems slow as hell to start going anywhere at a good speed.

I drove in every storm we have had so far on I stock wheels and tires with 100lbs of sand in the trunk, 50lbs on each side over the rear wheels and haven't gotten stuck. The extra weigght kills your gas a bit but its been working just fine for me

Mustang88_357mag · 01-24-2014, 08:36 AM

If your serious about checking out the opportunities the marine corps can offer with our over 300 technical job PM and we can talk more

I'm the SNCOIC for the recruiting station south jersey in sicklerville I live at fort Dix. You might know a buddy of mine Gallagher he's a marine with one of the wing departments

I took the stocks off 2 months after I bought the car and put aftermarket wheels on for the summer so maybe the fact that they where brand new might make a difference
