Snow build up in wheels
It seems like I can't keep the wheels clean of snow and I have to clear them out almost everytime I drive it in the snow. It's quite a pain. Does anyone have a solution to prevent the snow from packing itself in the wheels? Much like any other jeep driver, I don't exactly avoid snow banks when parking, and drifting around corners is quite fun. Obviously I could avoid these things, but what's the point in that?

Maybe try spraying the rims with some Silicone spray?

Non-stick cooking spray. Works great and cheap.

75mph doesn't clean em out! I've tried that! I'll have to try the cooking spray method. That sounds promising.Frank wrote:Id say spin-em faster and clean that chit out ! FjR68
