Have you seen snow? Have you seen un-plowed snow mixed with rocks, dirt and salt almost a feet high? Have you seen the damages that salt and yearly run off does to road that have never seen a full year without snow in its lifetime? Even a setup like that makes me cringe in the NE, let alone Canada.

I've been to Cali many times and you guy's have it good.

Yea.. but its perfect height for me right now cause it gets pretty tough here in Vancouver for winter. And dont have to worry about speed bumps or drive way

Thanks leescape! the height definitely looks better in person

Nice wheels and drop. I agree, those Cali guys have it good. Being Canadians, we have to put up with the white stuff called snow.

Yup, i also think this may be because the AWD comes with 17" wheels, instead of the 18" that RWD has.
