I did the ame thing.. i purchased my 2000 in GA .. got transfered with the Army to Baltimore and just made it back to GA a few months ago... I will tell you .. I love the 2000 but it is the worst vehicle I have ever driven, bar none, in snow... I have a 4 x 2 and it just slid everywhere and once i could not even get up in my driveway ... buy yourself the best pair of chains you can.. cheap ones are awful.. get the best .. they are about 100 but worth it....
