The fact that you are getting by with a peg leg and marginal tires with a monster hill to climb every day doesnt support your case of needing 4x4. Trust me, studded tires a putting power to 2 wheels is all you will ever need.

This year was my first year with my Jeep. which equals the first winter in my Jeep as well. Which brings me to another story.
I just barely got by... barely. I've almost gotten to the point of totaling the Jeep twice this winter. one in that 6 foot deep ditch, another when I did a complete 540 going downhill just after a snow/ice storm.
The 6 foot deep ditch encounter was so close to flipping the jeep onto it's roof that I thought I was gonna wet myself. Had I been driving at Idle speed, I don't know what would have happened. the snow wasn't even really snow, it was hail built up about half an inch to look like snow, so it was basically ice. You should have heard the news on how many wrecks were on the news that day.
The other one... going downhill, and the auto tranny shifts... the change in driveline speed and engine speed caused the jeep to spin out of control, all I remember is seeing glimpses of the road, and ending up in some guys yard, almost hitting a pole...
yeap... I need new tires... will I be getting some soon? nope, probably not. it's summer now
shows how cheap I am. I'll definitely get some new tires near next winter... hopefully.
