Uhh... If you don't know anyone with a 4wd car that you can borrow then you are just going to have to rent one....

Sounds like a thinly veiled request to borrow someone's truck on here.

Why the hell would you want to put your Z down as collateral instead of renting anyways? If you somehow are able to broker a deal like that and wreck the 4wd... Guess what... They get the Z! If you just rent the stupid thing insurance takes care of any accidents.

Now that you mention that, I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee I could lend that may or may not come with vented brake lines.

dude, seriously put down whatever your smoking ^^^ that said, how do you go about fixing a so called borrowed car if there is an engine problem or worst a nicely bald set of tires you can go A55 skating across roads that are covered black ice. borrowing a car is just as bad as shooting one self in the foot.


lots of rental car places have AWD and 4wd SUV's for rent but you will have to buy your own set of chains for this, still though driving up in that area in the winter is not fun unless you got a laundry list of items added to your car as back up.

just as a back up plan to have in the car or SUV
small bag of salt
bag of kitty litter
de-icer
cable/chains

opt for extra insurance, most cases its expensive to rent for the weekend but its better to have sound peace of mind not worrying if something goes wrong with a borrowed vehicle.
