I wish I could afford a 4x4 truck. Last week I made a 40 mph run at getting through a snow drift that was almost 3 feet deep in my 2wd 2009 Ranger. The drift was the victor. 30x9.5-15 Cooper Discoverer STT tires were no use going backwards trying to get out. A 2500 Dodge 4x4 got me out. I’m thinking of switching to a set of 215-85-16 off road tires the next time I buy winter tires for one of my Rangers.
Maybe invest in some chains, those seem to come in handy a lot for me. Saw my grandpa drive thru 3ft of fresh powder once with chains and 5,000 lbs of weight in the back with a 2wd truck.
I've heard its nice. Lots of sledding up there. Only a few hours away for me. Not sure how far you'll get snow wheeling without some big tire and big HP
Well, we'll have 4 sleds and a 2 Jeeps on the trip... see how it goes... might just have sleds pack it down a bit and go from there... My goal is to sighsee, I'm happy with wheeling conditions I get around house :) :) :) But nice freshy is always great!!!
Wonder if they've ever driven out onto a snow covered meadow only to find it's a snow covered lake that isn't frozen over hard enough to support the vehicle weight.
how deep was that snow? im gonna be going up a mountain pass in a couple days and they are expecting 8-10 inches of snow and i'm in a colorado on 31inch tires. kinda worried im gonna have some issues haha
@@heavymonty the sas you got, which axel did you go with, and isn't true that it's highly not recommended because of the weak frames. I've been wanting to do it to my 99 k2500 suburban. Have a 14 bolt in the rear with Detroit locker but if in the front. I looked into the swap, bit everyone is saying not to do it because of the weak frames. Thoughts?
@@heavymonty still have the stock autotrak transfer case? I'm not building a rock cralwer, and I don't want to lock up the front with ifs. It usually does what this video has. But maybe less snoe
78 ford f250 high pinion dana 44 up front with chromos and the d60 full float woth 35spline shafts. The SAS kit is WFO. The rest of the truck is stock with some custom sliders/bumpers
@@heavymonty wfo? The one in Auburn CA? If so, I'm local and spoke to them about doing it to mine. They told me they've done it, but highly don't recommend it. It's something that I would love to get done, but I'd prefer to go Dana 60 up front. Weighs 7000 lbs as it is... Future plans would made a 60 perfect and not overkill. But if you're local to Auburn, I'd love to check it out and get your opinion with mine.
There's no CJ's in the video. No Suburban either. Theres a YJ a couple TJs and I'm rocking the Tahoe. The Tahoe definitely has a disadvantage in the snow due to its weight vs tire size/width.
@@heavymonty OK. Pardon my ignorance! I love the vids and I'm curious. It seemed the Jeeps being lighter could move through the snow better than the Tahoe. But I love the Tahoe! Do you have a vid showing how you have set it up?
@@bigamigo4863 I am 73 and been doing that for more years then you are old. Further more if you are doing a story as such , you should be informing people of that for there own benefit. Only rookies would forget all the details . Sorry !
They cost more than 106K I think there around 120K and I've seen plenty of them get stuck in the snow. They seem to do best in mud and marsh areas. They don't like steep hills either the wheelbase is way to short for hill climbs.
Really like this. I agree the raw engine sounds are much better than soundtrack music
snow wheeling is so much more fun then mud and so much easier to clean off not to mention easier on the parts of the rig.
@@lastbhatalive it's fine, if you keep regular maintenance up
4:08 “i wish I made v8 sounds” 😂😂 awesome vid
dope vid... the raw sounds from the engines and snow are way better than music... nice rigs, and nice filming for the clips... stoked to see more
What a awesome video guys. One of the best I've seen.
Love your videos. Thank you 😀 this is so awesome
Cant beat the Beautiful BC wilderness.
Unless U have A 4X4.
That is an awesome way to spend the day! Great footage. Y'all worked hard breaking trail.
Glad I found your channel - subbed!
Scott
Beautiful country! Looks like a lot of fun!
Beautiful country out there.
I love this why because I love driving in snow with any 4x4 so I knew 4x4 work lot most time as well so that. ALL GOOD TEAM DOES AS WELL!
🧉
Looks just like home. ❤️
Love the opening!!
Gorgeous day. That type if off reading must really put your u joints through their paces with the huge amounts of free (unloaded) wheel spinning
No more I’d say than highway use they get going way faster
Great video!
1:07 I like that Jeep!! :-)
i could watch that all day
THAT OLD jEEP j20 PICKUP AT THE BEGINNING WAS AWESOME !!!! THUMBS UP ...i HAD 1 OF THEM.... :-)
Ya fresh snow like this is magic ... Let's go for a rip song is a good er too !
looked like a beautiful day
Hi from Russia. very nice video)
....powder snow...best snow one can wish for...
Beautiful day! Beautiful Snow ! Fun to watch. Why all the "fat" tires? Make bigger tracks? Thank's for sharing. Take care.
Bigger the tire, lower the psi = bigger footprint and more traction in deep snow!
Thank you Awesome video 👍
Looks like "the shinning".
i wish i had four wheel drive....two chevy trucks a3/4 ton and a1 ton but no fwd
Damn what a blast!

Do you add extra weight in the bed.
Get an elocker i have a 07 ranger rwd and brake through drifts all the time with 32 11.50

Save, save, save! Gotta have a 4x4
Mr. Manson 5,000lbs, Huh? 🤦♂️
Wow... nice... very nice...! Coming up to BC in March, hoping to hit some of that POWPOW!!!
BudNixon where in BC are you headed snow wheeling?
If I got the name right - its the Coquihalla Lakes resort...
I've heard its nice. Lots of sledding up there. Only a few hours away for me. Not sure how far you'll get snow wheeling without some big tire and big HP

glad to see obs in snow
I love this video 💪💪💪💪
Ware is this beautiful place!?
Wow awesome!!!
Used to love snow wheeling, got about 5 gallons to the mile tho
More smiles per mile though

That's Awesome...👍👍👍
Now I want a Jeep !
you have to love boys with their toys that's so awesome
I feel like playing in the snow now, but there's no snow here. 😣
I need to head to Canada one of these days.
Me to asap pal
Come to North Dakota, tons of snow here
Great video.
As much as your buddy might wish he could make v8 sounds, the 4.0 i6 isn’t really a bad sounding motor
Agreed
There's a guy on CZcams with a jacked up Honda Civic on 44's with a V8.
Gear HeadSC sendit steve 😝
Subbed ...Good stuff keep it coming.
Thanks!
where was this video taken ?
Nice!
Nice video, more footage of the fsj ! Where about are you located in bc? Is that a glasspack on that Chevy?
Based out of Kelowna, but wheel all around the interior of BC.
The TrailHoe has a dynomax on it with the cats cut out.
what kind of lockers are the jeeps using and what gear ratios
Not sure. There some full case air lockers as well as some lunchbox auto lockers in the group.
wow cool!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You gotta find a 2jz to swap bro. Sweet video, new subscriber here
2j the trailhoe? Nah, its just a family crawler hauler!
Great 👍👍👍
Nice snow
Wow that IS the perfect day. But ultimately, isn't it less stressful on your rig if you just chain up?
Absolutely not. Chains are for packed snow or ice. This is 5+ ft deep and we stay on the top 2+ ft
Sick video. Where was this?
We are west coast in canada
Good.
Top 🔝🔝
Every jeep I have owned has a problem with snow plugging up the windshield. I have found the solution.
Tell me
how deep was that snow? im gonna be going up a mountain pass in a couple days and they are expecting 8-10 inches of snow and i'm in a colorado on 31inch tires. kinda worried im gonna have some issues haha
This is likely 4+ft.
@@heavymonty oh damn. Okay that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for the quick response bro! Nice video!
Hate winter but looks like a good time the view is awesome you in Washington
Further north. Southern BC

Where is this at ?
near Kelowna, BC, Canada
Those Jeep CJ's seemed to blaze the trail better than the Suburban. Is that the case?
There's no CJ's in the video. No Suburban either. Theres a YJ a couple TJs and I'm rocking the Tahoe. The Tahoe definitely has a disadvantage in the snow due to its weight vs tire size/width.

@@christopherjones5561 no walk around or build video. its a pretty basic truck! solid axles, big tires, body armor and lockers!
That looks like so much fun where is that at
Kelowna, Canada
Is this low 4x4 or high 4x4?
low. always low range unless its just ripping dirt roads
@@heavymonty thank you. Just got my first Jeep and we're gettin the powder!!
FUCKEN AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!
Letting some air out to soften the tires will help a lot. These guys are young rookies . They will learn in time
We are all at very low single digit pressures. Sounds like you're the rookie here

Hard to beat a snowmobile tho lol
roofall247 I think you missed the point of the video.
only in a jeep! And a trailblazer!
Get a sherp, unstoppable
Sherp costs more than 6k and can't drive on the road, or fit my whole family, or etc...
They cost more than 106K I think there around 120K and I've seen plenty of them get stuck in the snow. They seem to do best in mud and marsh areas. They don't like steep hills either the wheelbase is way to short for hill climbs.
@@gearheadsc5016 i was referring to my #trailhoe costing me around 6k to build the way you see it in the video
@@heavymonty I know
Get a sled Dude
Get a life dude
Cold n pointless
That's what your wife said!
snow mobile with a cover would be better
Thought it was good snow Wheeling till I saw the gay suburban making it look easy, then I knew it was Bitch Wheeling!
Dipshit
What a homo comment ... I like the engine soundtrack . Cheers from a fellow wheeler in Calgary
Nice!
