Show us your LITS (LandCruisers in the snow)

[LCColorado]

Drove in the snow today, about 5 inches of snow and slush. The most important thing is that the LC did great even with the OEM Michelin tires. It went through the slush while changing lanes as if the slush was not even there. Very stable and no slipping.

My only complaint is the safety warnings. Once the cameras and sensors get blocked with snow, which took about 5 minutes, the car just cycled through all the warnings on the dash which is incredibly distracting. You would think once it tells you once and all the amber lights go on saying that the safety features are disabled it would stop cycling through the warnings telling you to clean off the sensors. I ended up turning everything off but it still kept one warning up on the dash, but at least stopped cycling through all of them.

How has everyone else’s experience been driving in the snow now that we finally got a good snow in Colorado?

I’ve been having a lot of fun in the Colorado snow. The KO3’s are fantastic in the snow so far.

How's the Thule rack holding up?

How's the Thule rack holding up?

Holding up well, only complaint is that sometimes it’s a little loud. Eventually I plan on replacing the whole setup with a different rack.

Took our daughter sledding tonight and then drove around in the snow for a while.The roads were completely covered in snow and I decided to try out the auto setting on MTS. I could barely break traction, the the system didn’t feel intrusive worked incredibly well. I also locked the center diff just because a couple times, but I definitely didn’t need to.

Took my LC for a walk recently to Cascades. On stock tires (because I'm dumb and car poor ). It was pulling me up to the mountain through the snow until it started really sitting on its belly on snow piled up between the tracks and I've chickened out and turned around back to my comfort zone near starbucks and malls I bet it could keep going, but I was alone 30+ minutes drive away to the nearest place with cellular reception without any recovery gear and people around Also lack of protection like steel bumper and proper skid plates didn't boost my confidence.
