35 now in Grass Pants, OR. It has been 23F this week, some days
warming up to a balmy 40, others to a roasting 50. We're due for a
cold snap next week. Time to stock up my pantry, just in case.
That white stuff makes going up the steep hill to town quite a chore
in a 2x2 truck.

Unless you have some sort of Limited Slip or Locker in that truck,
it's only 1X1. Hit a patch of ice, and you aren't going anywhere.

Actially, a 2X2 would be an all wheel drive bicycle - and a 1X1 a
Unicycle. Definitely no good in snow.

Proper terminology is a 4X2 - with 4X1 being what you guys are trying
to call the truck with an open diff.

It really DOES have 2 wheel drive. If you want to see what 1 wheel
drive handles like, you want to try an early King Midget. When the
drive wheel is in the inside of a turn it shoots you like a slingshot,
and on the outside of a turn it handles quite docile.
