    So after watching I still don't know which is better? Tracks or wheels and big motor? All my off roaring experience was 40 years ago in mud, sand, water and woods. I had a '66 Bronco, 3" lift, warn hubs, mud/snow tires, Craig power play 8 track and Miller Lite. Off roading was just getting popular in the Midwest back then.

    Nothing worse than whiny assss people complaining about something that costs them nothing! If you don't like the sound of that big V8, turn your volume down and play your own music. The video was great, lived the music, the engine sound and the occasional radio talk. It was all good and all part of what it's like to go wheeling, snow wheeling. We do the same stuff in Utah.

  • @TomSilver_42
    @TomSilver_42 2 года назад

    One thing which might help you, besides big tires or chains, and I'm always curious why so few people use is portal axles.
    Stop trying to push (plow) your diff and whole axle assembly through snow/mud and get extra inches of clearance.
    Have a look to some 70'-80' designs of military vehicles like Tatra 805, Volvo TGB, Pinzgauer from Steyer&Puch, Unimog .. they all got extra clearance via portal axles, not via ridiculously big tires (and so huge mass to spin).

    How wide are your rims? in Iceland we run for example 46 MT on 16 to 20" rims it gives you better floatation and also gives you better stability and steering when sidehilling with low psi.

    • @Devonradcontracting
      @Devonradcontracting  2 года назад

      We run 18 to 14 wide depending on tire size most of are trucks run 49s and up 58s the 46s just don't have the diff clearance..

  • @Freebeertomorrow-q3z
    @Freebeertomorrow-q3z 2 года назад +7

    Both have a great advantage. Tracks. So been in deep snow and they float and then be gentle at the same time. Tracks unfortunately can’t get you to the wheeling area if it’s on public roads. Big rigs big tires can get you to the wheeling area and take you home. But. Big tires also depend on horse power. The weight of the vehicle. So. Both in my opinion are awesome. Choose correctly for your riding area and adventures. Tried to general about this. My comment would have been 9 pages long if I was doing a full review. Keep wheeling everyone. Best adventures you’ll have. IMO. And where you’re wheeling is one of the best snow places in North America.

Otherwise ground pressure beat float in snow, every time. I think people still think about what they grew up with. Dad’s skinny bias ply snow ties on his two wheeled wonder 75 Ford.
