thats why i drift going up hills or at the end of the 8 freeway it curves down to the right and its a left turn so i floor it and make the rear go out on me and scare everyone behind me thats tails gating. i like doing it. and if a cop ever pulls me over i would be like im sorry it was slipperly there. haha i never been threw snow yet. unless you count the little bit on the side of the road that i run over. haha other than that nothing.

I can get it loose if it's slick enough, since these guys are so heavy, I think they stop great on ice. If it is really slick or when I drive on gravel roads, I unplug an ABS switch to disengage the ABS and it works great. Since I've gotten the expy, I've calmed down a little and don't drift to much, but it is a blast with an inch or so of powder on the ground. Whenever we got out early in high school, me and my buddies would go drive around for the rest of the day drifting around corners and messing around. Its fun until its slicker than you anticipate and slide off the road. . . . lol

One time when I was working on the truck, I unplugged the front passenger side sensor and forgot to plug it back in. It was icy out at that time and I messed with it. I was able to pretty much stomp on the brakes and stop much faster and the ABS never kicked in. If I ever try to stop fast on ice or slick snow with the ABS on, it takes forever to stop. Other than the ABS light on with the switch unplugged, I never noticed any problems.

i only ever drifted in a4wd once and it was wet and on an on ramp to a freeway. i could hear the front tires trying to grab the road. it was a cool feeling. and the fact that i had all under control was even better.
