Hello all, new to the forum (just bought a jeep, saw this forum here thought I'd post).

Over the winter we had some snow. I was convinced I'd be fine with my little 4x4 sidekick and commenced a dash up our street. the snow was about 4 to 5 inches deep on the road, and I was doing ok for the most part. A jeep pulled out in front of me and forced me to have to stop.

When I tried to go again, I was stuck. The rear wheels were now spinning. So I said no problem and dropped into 4wheel drive... No luck, the fronts didn't do anything, and only 1 rear tire was spinning now. I ended up having to get pushed backwards to get free...

Is this normal?

disclaimer: Sorry to be so ignorant on this, my zuke is the first 4x4 I've owned aside from the snow I hadn't had a chance to really use it, and this was the first time.

thanks
