This should be a tv series, it blows away EVERY show on the tv!
I'm sure that it is a tv show
@@rhystomney653 Then probably you will have to pay for it
why? it is still a show. or you are the old school type that feel that tv should be the only way to consume media
@@thompsond6380 you are correct
@@Lotrioni A no far from it, im fine with youtube but like it happened to others it will then become payper use due to rights and what not and will have to pay to see them. Hopefully they stay like mightycard mods. On youtube for free
Re-watching old eps, and a clean-shaven Jock is a SHOCK!
as a Canadian seeing your enthusiasm for snow makes me smile. altho myself and almost everyone i know absolutely despises the stuff. we have 10x that for about half the year and you get really sick of it really fast, seeing you guys so bundled up and dying in -6 is hilarious to. -30 is a regular overnight temp here
Would love to see you come down here when it's 40+ C, I wonder how you'll do.
@@foxxy2583 we get that here to an average day is 36-37 C where i live in the dead of summer with crazy high humidity

Novelty factor 100, everyday factor 0.
Dreamscythe1 same here in sweden haha
Living in the NW corner of the USA this was really fun to watch. Newbie snow run! Nearly all of our trails have snow at least four months of the year. A few nuggets of advice: You guys were all running way too much tire pressure. We run 10-12psi in snow without beadlocks and 5-8psi with them and it makes all the difference in the world! When winching in snow most of the time you're better off not helping the winch with the tires. Let them roll over the snow and compact it, rather than spinning, slipping sideways, and digging endless trenches. Don't turn the steering wheel in snow unless the truck is rolling. If it's really slick and/or you have balloon tires with rounded corners like Shauno's and only one pair of chains put one chain on the front and one on the rear.
Back in the day, I had a 1995 F150 4x4 - 5 speed manual, manual locking hubs, 3.73 limited slip rear AND FRONT 3.73 limited slip, straight 6 300 cu. in. with stock tires. I loaded a snowmobile in the back and headed to the middle of Vermont as much as I could. It was pretty amazing how well the truck handled the snow. I helped people get unstuck all the time and had a blast doing it.
Seeing this video reminds me of the great community and camaraderie in offroading. Doesn't matter if it's snow, mud or rocks. People helping each other out and having a good time together is what it's all about.
I love getting people unstuck. At least 10 last year 🤠🐏💪
Damn Australia has every kind of terrain. Here in Belgium you got nothing but flatlands. Big dream to drive my defender in Australia
It would break down haha u need a land cruiser
The US has all this and some.
You aren't that far from the Alps and Pyrenees, and those are far harsher and more rocky. They even drive on the correct side of the road in France.
@@drewlindsay3553 don't talk rubbish lol defenders run forever if they're looked after
No hesitation, saw 4wd action post and immediately clicked on it. Love these vids!
Kane Stott who doesn't tho
Bacon Bacon me
seth n 😱
Best videos Australia has to offer. Now it's all free it is brilliant. Saves me a tonne!
we all do
My husband is an American and loves your videos. He said he is used to "real snow" and kind of chuckles at you guys, but also said you guys are smart and do it right.
No trailers! woo
I think im on zee wrong video.
Im new here and honestly, the trailer really bogs down the show. Pun intended
70 from school that works with Bonnie
Just finished Thanksgiving dinner and come home to a new 4WD Action video, think my night is set now. Time to crack open something cold and enjoy .!!
It’s not thanks giving it’s not even December thanks giving is after Christmas
See thats where ya wrong
19F (-7C) here outside Philly, PA on Thanksgiving Day. Had our 1st snow already. Ski areas open. This vid is very fitting.
Same here in NE PA
Currently here in Alaska on holiday from Australia and well no fucking snow in sight it snowed once since I was here then it melted and no more it sucks
Lol that sucks, I thought this would be the time for snow in Alaska?
@@Remiiix88 my girl who lives here said every other year it's always covered in snow here but not this year Apparently
In central PA and I agree. However, I did think it was odd when they said they had snow in mid August. Obviously the seasons are opposite in the southern hemisphere, but it still sounded weird.
These boys need to come over to the states and do a tour. Rausch Creek or AOAA in Pennsylvania would be good stops.
This channel deserves a lot more views and subscribers
Funniest thing, watching Aussies drive in snow. Nearly as funny as watching us Pom's dress for the summer 😂🤣😂🤣
Mate that's Australia
8j
TheInevitable fcc
It's like watching a sepo do a burnout with brakes firmly pressed, embarrassing hey
Hey Aussies! Greetings from the united states! Appalachian trail in Virginia are alot similar in the winter, it is a blast but it's also very dangerous. Love watching y'all and wish I could ship my ole 88 Ranger out there and run some of these tracks!
I have a 88 ranger also and live in VA. Im always looking for place to wheel
Umm ranger sounds good guys, but sorry to say this....Australia is a toyota land cruiser country
@@rondass62 Nah, its just like every other place, 4 low an go.
you guys have the best hobby in the world,why are you not on tv?i have been house bound for 3 weeks and its driving me mad,this is like a breath of fresh air!! thanks fellas!!!
Great video guys. We had a similar experience a few years ago with snow packing under a Landcruiser 80 series. Then the temperatures dropped and it turned into concrete. Make sure, as they in the video, to take the right gear for snow, especially shovels, chainsaw and chains etc. and snow skii pants/jacket/gloves to keep dry if you're kneeling in the stuff digging yourself out.
-3C lol
meanwhile it was -20C today.
Think I'm one of the few that would actually miss it if I moved somewhere warm.
Get to do snow driving daily in the winter months. So much fun
Joe Chitussi ...should swap:)
I recently found this Chanel, and oh boy it is what I'm looking for. Keep it up
This could not have been posted at a better time. It is currently summer Victoria, and we are going through a cold spell, with Snow in the high country today
15:40 you know it's cold when Graham is speechless. Great video guys!
Great video! Fun to watch you all from Oz experience snow lol... That road looks like ALL of our roads in the winter- 12" on the roads is not uncommon, but most of us have studded snow tires on all of our cars from November through April:). Those off-road tires make it harder though - they go from being ice skates to shovels lol. Momentum is your friend in this kind of mess, with plenty of countersteering. Just as much of a learned skill as mud bogging or rock crawling! Great fun and keep up the fantastic content!
I just found your channel. Some nice 4 wheeling, but the snow driving just made me laugh. I live on the coast of Maine in the NE states and all I can say is that reminded me of driving out my driveway last week in 14" of heavy wet snow that came down at -3C onto solid ice on my 1/4" mile driveway. I never even put my Ram1500 into low range even though I was pushing my 7.5 foot plow. By the way they don't even sell 2WD trucks here.
Awesome show guys keep up the great work been a fan for many years and never get sick of watching the episodes
I was thinking I might need chains, but I think I just need a mighty d-max
I loved this video more than any of the others , guys you really drive so well and also have so much fun ...
Snow is fun to play in, 4wd in, that is til it gets -30°C & below. Then it's just dam cold & miserable & we start dreaming we could ever go to Australia. Enjoy it boys, Winter's just starting here & already if I never again in my life see snow, it'll be too bloody soon. And here when it's that cold, no bs, wind chill can cause serious frostbite & death.
Beautiful piece of country ya'll took us thru on this one, excellent driving, hey to the other fella's & thanks for sharing absolutely beautiful Australia & your drive with us!!
Cheers from Calgary, Alberta 🇨🇦
They are pretty lucky, you can just visit winter in Aus. then right back to year round warmness, and great wilderness, neat to see fairly moderate diesel trucks getting it done as well, fun to watch in an Albertan winter eh!
So good to see you guys having so much fun in the snow, Here in Eastern Canada we deal with Snow 6 months of the year so not so exciting. Lol
Matter of fact sitting here watching this video inside nice and warm as a little snow falls outside and the temp sits at around -21c. No more winter camping for me lol
Take the Marty and Moog from MCM on a trek!!!
Lol they should do another 1000$ adventure where mcm get to build a 4wd they think is capable and they could all go out and test it somewhere, that would be pretty cool and funny to watch haha
@@thatsgangsta2450 this is a good idea, maybe $3,000 - Can't imagine you'd be able to do much with a grand?
no
I don't think a lowered turbo petrol Lancer could do half the stuff these boys do. Not even a fifth, possibly.
$1000 buck truck with them would be killer
Man i am so disappointed in myself, as a north american. I never really thought about snow in Australia or its location in country. Just stumbled on your videos today, they are awesome. Love the positive attitudes. Keep up the good work.
A top video fellas, I can't bloody wait to head to the High Country again some time for a proper play around up there.
OH GAWD!! Soon as I saw the notification, I got here and hit LIKE right the hell away, you bloody legends!!
Love how excited u guy are to b in snow. Im a mass hole we wheel all winter long. U guys did a great job describing the way snow driving is.
Been getting into 4WDriving and looking to buy my first thanks to this channel and similar ones. I know very little about how to fix or work on an engine but I'm looking forward to learning about engines.
You guys at 4WD Action are spoiling us completely! Keep em coming...
I love these videos. Makes my day when a new one is uploaded
I was not expecting a snow Wheeling video from you guys out of Australia. LMAO. Great one too!
Honestly look forward to "Shawn's cooking segment" in all of these videos... Love em!! Then see graham shove random ingredients!! haha
Totem some decent camp fire meals from him
Really want to know where he got that epic pan/pot from...
LOL!!! The outtakes were HILARIOUS! Do that more often! lol
visiting this from 2020. I love the content!
Awesome. And hilarious. I would die on most of the tracks you guys drive, but this? Reminds me of a Tuesday.
Where I live we don’t have the altitude, but we do have snow which gets deep enough to plow with the grill. Nothing is as much fun as drift surfing down a gravel road full gas up drift and off gas down the other side. Drift surfing for the win! Make every commute in winter a barrel of giggles (I know getting winter tyres there makes no sense, but the difference it makes is uncanny - they stick to ice and plow through the deep stuff much more easily). Love it!!
Man that looks like a blast! Snow wheel’n at night is such a good time. Great video. 🤘🏼
So funny graham, throwing the meat packet in the back of the vehicle.Luv your work!
Another great video. Be careful with cold weather wheeling though guys, it's all fun and games until the temp drops so much all the beer in the chest freezes and bursts!
I love your videos!
It looks like you had some serious fun driving in snowy conditions! :-D
Still wonder if you can get some proper winter tires for a trip like this in OZ.
The difference to using muddies is turning a trip like that almost into a walk in the park.
Living in south Germany, I have to have a second set ot wheels for the winter.
Conditions like in your video are quite common in my area and usually no problem.
Lots of respect for camping out in the cold!
Loved this episode. Will be watching it again a few time I think. I am so proud of you guys for doing this track. Everyday driving up here in NorthDakota USA. we can have minus 20-30deg. F for a few weeks on end Before the wind chill. Fuel freezes as does other things. But I love driving my old 60 around in it. Have a good one Mates.:) Oh. and Grahm, Look into Icebreaker brand wool socks, and make sure your boots are around one size bigger than you would normally ware. that way you have a bit of an area for warm air to collect in your boots. This will keep your feet warmer.
I was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. Currently living in Sydney, NSW. I remember having a 2008 Honda Pilot and having to climb over 4 - 5 feet of snow just to get on the top leveled section. I was backing out of the garage so the slope was extra steep. The ol' thing did very well considering it to be all stock and absolutely nothing was done to it. First, go and went straight up. I really do hope they bring the Pilot to the AU market but highly unlikely due to it being built for North America. I remember waking up during Christmas and looking the window to see snow on the driveway and road. I really do miss Canada and its beautiful climate and scenery.
great camera work and editing. very interesting and informative. thanks
I love the way Shaun says Worcester sauce..when he chucks it in his food. from Cape Town with LOVE
I haven't even watched the video yet and pounded the like button! Keep the videos coming boys.! Loving all you guys do from the U.S...
Happy to see those awesome GT Grabber X3’s on Sooty and sporting the GT decals!! Rock On in the white stuff!!!
Snow, dust storms and pelting rain and 4wdAction. Straya, love it.
I love the entire video(including the people in this) and the vehicles used in this video
Great content as always. Your video always put the smile on my face, and happy. Tq 4WD Action
Well put together - good show/episode . Hello from Canadian Rockies
I live in Norway and can have winter conditions 1/2 the year. Eg, the drive way to my house is a 100 m long hill with a 30% incline, and needs 4wd every day during winter. From soft, wet snow as you had, some advice are, 1) down on tire width, max on height (summer tires on my Jeep WJ are 255/70 while my winters are 245/75, both on 16") (anybody noticed that Shaun's blubber tires - apart from the lock problem -- skidded more?), 2) below +5 C -- special winter tires with softer rubber are mandatory (I myself have studded Coopers, but will put on Hakkapelita 8/9 for next set), 3) keep momentum/speed, but stop and back up a soon as you understand you're losing steering, 4) learn how to drift.
Two things weren't clear from this video. 1. You can't get tyres for the snow in Australia, they pretty much don't exist. 2. Those main roads that they were on are cut into the side of mountains with pretty steep drop offs. At the edge of a lot of those roads is probably a 20m drop almost straight down and there isn't much to stop you going over the edge apart from some trees. Some of those tracks can be a bit nerve racking even in summer, so it's no surprise they opted to stop every time they got near the edge
Best channel on the tube! Awesome stuff guys!!
Love this stuff, keep it coming guys! Best channel on CZcams!! Loving the snow! Greetings from Canada!
Woohoo new 4wd action video right at the beginning of my lunch break. Top effort fellas
Some of this driving, reminds me of my drives to and from work here in Ontario Canada.
Oh ya, my drive this morning -24 with the wind
Love your vids guys keep them coming
Bet you been to "Eleven-a-reef" aswell right? r/humblebrag
Looks like a regular day in may here in sweden haha, cool to see you guys testing snowy tracks!
Love these videos .... Love that this one was in snow !!
As a canadian I love seeing people enjoying snow wheeling and camping!
I'm just going to go ahead click "thumbs up" and then finish watching because you gents always have the most impressive vids on youtube!!! Keep it up mates!
As a french, I really liked the joke at the end haha. You really make me wanting to go 4wd in Australia. Cheers mate !
Cheers from Montreal! was -27c here this morning!
Can't drive my dmax there 😂
@@alexandrosdouros i own a duramax, no issues! in fact i think it loves it!! haha
Thumbs up before I even start watching, cos I know it’s gonna be bloody awesome!
One of your best episodes! As a Canadian -3 degrees and I am still in shorts! You need 38 inch tires and good bead lockers. drop your pressure to 8 psi and you'll float on top! Snow is what we know here. What we don't, is some of the tracks you tackle!...Insane guys! Look me up if you come to Atlantic Canada. Where they salt all the roads to combat snow. we undercoat our trucks with oil and graphite and don't worry abbot salt. right on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia the salt spray off the ocean is what does the damage! Cheers guys...
Vancouver Canada welcomes you! bet you would all love it.
Snow driving is it's own animal. There are very different types of driving conditions with snow. The temps will also determine whether you have some traction, or none at all. At/near freezing is very different from driving in -40F conditions. The guide was showin' the cowboys how to do it, chain up and finesse the right boot. Fun video, as always fellers.
I was about to comment you need chains! Then you whipped them out. Good show
Typical drive home from work here in Vermont USA. They stop snow removal around 9-10pm and start again around 6am. Working nights I get to drive home in 1-2 foot of fresh snow during a given storm. Most the way home is dirt roads and last to get service so I keep a chainsaw and ax in the truck as well as heavy chain and tow strap just Incase someone runs off the road and needs help.
This is such a amazing trip by you guys. I personally think this is the best video so far keep it up.
I wish I have a crew like this. But most of my buddies are into sports cars and stuff.
I love my 4gen Toyota 4runner so much best car I have ever own never let me down.
Chong Thor BTL where do you live?
You dudes are great! Thanks again guys.
Catching up on these, living in NZ we get our share of snow, loving the Vic high country though, always wanted to do the 7 deadly sins!
This though looks epic, that stew Shauno cooked up on the Stony Creek track epic, must call it the Stony Creek stew, get ya laughing gear round that one eh lads, looked the goods, gonna try that this weekend, bit of snow fallen on the Alps so very timely.
One of the best episodes I have watched to date guys, really getting into the channel btw.🤙
Awesome stuff! love the snow!
This looked like very similar conditions we had here (Ontario, Canada) on a recent trail run. Well...roads too until the plow crews get things cleared. Snow is a tough one and the characteristics can change minute to minute. Great to see you lads getting to enjoy some! 👍🏻
That totally EPIC watching u guys hvn a crack in the snow. Ty so much. Shauno hope you've fixed the locker situation by now haha.
Hope Shauno got his locker fixed and I LOVE Jacko's face when he gets in it. Im a BEZERKER kinda wheeler in a 98 ram 1500 4x4 5.9 gas
🐏💪🤠
Awesome videos boys,keep up the good work...and keep enticing
Woohoo cant wait to kick back watch this i love snow offroad driving!!!
that guide guy, he drove like a legend
Two things for snow driving, if it's not too much snow, you spin the wheels to get to solid ground underneath. If it's too much snow or there is ice underneath you go easy and go for static traction.
In my day up here in the Great White North, we would always put the chains on the FRONT tires when driving in deep or wet snow. Not only will it help steering, but your front wheels PULL rather than the rear wheels pushing.
In the mountain west of the states, we drive in snow for 4 months straight. Glad you guys get to atleast experience the snow.
Another awesome Episode, weekend not complete without a 4WD Episode.
probably the best one this year - Excellent
Love these vids up here in Canada we drive that everyday in the winter
were are your Maxtraxx? snow wheeling is so much fun! Just an FYI I have been in highway driving with more snow. But Love the back country wheeling in the deep snow!! Also, cast iron cook wear rocks. Dutch oven makes the best stus . you need to add a dutch oven to your kitchen!
.
Nice to see you playing in the snow ;-) Greetings from Austria
I might not seem that practical, in Australia just to do a couple of days on a snowy track, but a set of real Winter Tires (as opposed to Mud Terrain tires) would make a phenomenal difference in traction, even in a 4WD truck with a rear locker. You'd likely drive right through the sections where you get skewed sideways and you could actually get through without any winching or the need for chains.
As a fella born n breed in the deserts of WA the Vic high country has been on my bucket list for years thanks fellas you mob just made it worst for me haha i will get there 1day thanks for all your hard work you put into your vids
You are the best 4x4 action I Australia. You make Rony Dahl look like añ amateur. Lol. Keep the blood work.
Yesss boyssss !!! Killing it with the uploads
It's good to have aircon equipment working in winter. The dryer helps prevent moisture on the window.
U guys rock love to watch u guys from SA and have a few ruff tracks here aswell but just injoying your humar and commitment with the tracks take the bull by the horns right
Done Mt Skene for years No lockers No chains But lots of winching and lots of fun.. And Yes we had an 80 go off the Mt and 3 hour recovery was install (80 series was a right off)
Best one yet absolutely loved it 👍
That stew is what I imagine Arthur Morgan grabs at the campfire in horseshoe overlook 😄
Spectacular environment. To me the best vodeo so far!
What an awesome trip! Wish I could have been there in my FJ!
