To state it simply, NO!!!!! Nothing better than an untouched parking lot after a huge snowstorm. :p
 
4Hi, lock the center diff, crank the wheel and hold it to the floor!!

4Runner does AWESOME donuts :D It snowed last night and I was out sliding around streets/parking lots for an hour haha

There is nothing better then new night snow early morning in empty parking lot. To loose your back, just turn on diff. lock, turn you front wheels for 10-15 degr. and step on the gas

Be careful. Locked differential on not a slippy surface will break down your transmission/transfer case and/or differential itself
 
We've been getting snow the past couple of days and the first thing I said was "Man, I can't wait to go drive."

I remember a couple years ago I saw a Jeep pulling donuts in a church parking lot and went to join him. The 4Runner was so damn competent in the snow that with the fulltime 4WD and the traction control, I was practically just driving in circles. It wasn't untill later that I tried locking the diff. Alexjet is right, you could do damage if you don't know what you are doing, but just be careful and have fun.
 
cant wait to start snowing here!! pics from last year:D

They are actually still forcasting snow here in Jersey for tomorrow. Usually it changes over to rain this early in the winter. We'll see, I'd love to get out in the morning and have some fun. [crosses fingers]

Damn, I spoke to soon. They're now saying rain. Possibly a few inches on Tuesday. :rolleye2:
 
They are forecasting at most 1'' in NJ tomorrow. :( But, Monday night they said maybe 5''-6'' which would be cool! :D
