Cold mother nature

[cedryck]

Hello lads,
Besides keeping the battery up to charge,, what other things do series owners suggest to keep the lovely landie ready to rover on in the snow?

[LaneRover]

Some sort of block heater is handy.

[Les Parker]

Decent tyres and good winter clothing, plus ice scraper.

Chains!! If you only have 1 set, put them on the front.

Don't really do anything differently than I would for spring, summer or fall here in southern N.E. Unless you have a diesel there really isn't much else to do that you shouldn't be doing already.

I put about 200 lb. of sandbags over the rear axle - much better traction......

chains on the front

maybe ok on a trail but don't try to drive on a road with only chains on the front wheels , you will swap ends in a heartbeat

The few times that I've done it, I've never had a problem. However, I'm talking about uncleared roads where chains were about the only way to make progress.
