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
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 🤠🐏💪
Re-watching old eps, and a clean-shaven Jock is a SHOCK!
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.
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!!!
This channel deserves a lot more views and subscribers
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 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
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.
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
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.
You guys at 4WD Action are spoiling us completely! Keep em coming...
OH GAWD!! Soon as I saw the notification, I got here and hit LIKE right the hell away, you bloody legends!!
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.
Funniest thing, watching Aussies drive in snow. Nearly as funny as watching us Pom's dress for the summer 😂🤣😂🤣
Mate that's Australia

It's like watching a sepo do a burnout with brakes firmly pressed, embarrassing hey
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
-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
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...
I was thinking I might need chains, but I think I just need a mighty d-max
15:40 you know it's cold when Graham is speechless. Great video guys!
Snow, dust storms and pelting rain and 4wdAction. Straya, love it.
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.
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.
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
🐏💪🤠
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!
Awesome show guys keep up the great work been a fan for many years and never get sick of watching the episodes
Ronny dahl and andrew white should have joined these blokes..
Lol like their rigs would be that capable notice the lack of 70seires in this coz they ain't good on slippery rock they would just flip over and lift wheels it would be which fest
Lol Ronny wouldn’t know how to function
Nah. 2 very different approaches to off roading. 4wd action is about lads, testosterone, power and recoveries. Ronny is more adult and about the journey.
yes wil be very amazing video whit Ronny and his crew..
All the vehicles in Ronny's regular crew are too heavy to do well in snow. They're much more overlanders than wheelers.
visiting this from 2020. I love the content!
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.
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 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.
My dudes! It was one of those things that, with the benefit of hindsight, you’d have done somethings differently - bottom line, in that sort of situation you role the dice. My main takeaway is to try and not let complacency drive decision making - and I know this is very easy said, but in practice easily missed when you tired, ready for the end etc. love your work guys! Looking forward to the next season, and Jase I respect the gamble and what you put on the line for the shows - One Life. Live It.
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...
Thumbs up before I even start watching, cos I know it’s gonna be bloody awesome!
Hard to believe you have more snow than we do here in Iceland :-) but why do you use so much power and hard tires? Here we would go down to 8-12 psi on 35 inch tires and down to 4-8 psi on 38-44 inch tires :-)
Do you run beadlocks?
@@SomervilleMetalWorks at those pressures ya have to unless its pretty bloody dead straight I'd reckon
10-12 psi and no beadlocks on my Jeeps. Ran 7psi on my Samurai with 33's and no beadlocks.
Are you allowed tire chains in Iceland?
I'll be visiting again next week; great country.
@@MarkRose1337 yes we are but we hardly ever need them!! search for 4x4 winter driving in Iceland here on youtube!!
As a canadian I love seeing people enjoying snow wheeling and camping!
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.
I have plowed snow for 35+ Years, one thing that has never worked for me is wide tires. I use Wrangler Duratraks that are much narrower than my summer wranglers. I usually run a heavy plow on the front and full salt spreader on the back, total of about 6,000 lbs (In a 1 ton truck). In this case, I run high tire pressures. With all that weight, and narrow tires, it cuts down through the snow.
Honestly you guys shouldn't drop tire pressure in the snow, keeping a good straight sidewall and a skinny tire is the way to go. Also big chunky mud tires are the devil when it gets icy, and the big gaps in the tread can collect snow and essentially turn your tires into slicks
corey lesniak these are professionals. They know what they are doing.
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
Another awesome Episode, weekend not complete without a 4WD Episode.
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!
Snow has been falling on the High Country for the past 2 days, starting November 21, 2018.
This is a strange land
Um....what season is it in Aust atm...?? Lolz
@@caphs2107 almost summer 🤣
SkidPins ...just recently my friend was saying mt. Buffalo, Vic had a dusting of snow aswell total bizaro.
thats a few hours south from me can defiantly feel the wind chill hear
Here is a big hint when driving in snow rapidly pulse the gas peddle for added traction and don't turn the wheel so hard over. Chains are great for sure and with this method of driving you'll be winching far less. You turn hard over and you don't turn in deep snow you plow straight ahead.
that guide guy, he drove like a legend
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 about to comment you need chains! Then you whipped them out. Good show
Hi Boys At 4WD Action, your snow ride is sweet as, but a tip for you boys, “clean your tiers” after driving on tarmac, you get heaps of shit from the grease and oil in the bitumen on it, then use a little "petrol" or "ignition fuel" over the tiers and let it sit for 1-2 min then drive it on flat area of snow and you will see black tier mark in the snow as the shit get off the tiers.
This just a tip from a Norwegian that has driven in the snow and Ice for 10 months per year...
LOL!!! The outtakes were HILARIOUS! Do that more often! lol
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
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!
In Vic High Country you sometimes need 4 lockers. Front, Center, Rear and the good old Turdlocker...
Kieron hahahahaha
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.
Love this stuff, keep it coming guys! Best channel on RUclips!! Loving the snow! Greetings from Canada!
I was not expecting a snow Wheeling video from you guys out of Australia. LMAO. Great one too!
I love the way Shaun says Worcester sauce..when he chucks it in his food. from Cape Town with LOVE
It's good to have aircon equipment working in winter. The dryer helps prevent moisture on the window.
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)
Hahaha these Ausy boys in the snow is hilarious. Totally out of their element
youngdougtheaccountant your spelling of “Aussie” is funnier
@@peterr8152 you saying "funnier" is more funny. and i used it in its plural form, so Ausy is still correct, if i was to say "those aussie's in the snow" then id use it like you did.
@@ghettobirdish they teach you that at accountant school Doug?
They’ll make it their element in time. Experience is all.
yeah but at least we have better 4wds than you guys
For the uninitiated; Always eat yellow snow. It could be beer.
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.
As a french, I really liked the joke at the end haha. You really make me wanting to go 4wd in Australia. Cheers mate !
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.
So funny graham, throwing the meat packet in the back of the vehicle.Luv your work!
Probably a good idea if barny takes a driving lesson or 2
just like you gpsgrader
peter barber ouch sharp. Didn’t know you were looking when I was driving away from your mums
@@gpsgrader haha fuckwit
peter barber 🥴
lmao i'd like to see you do any better
Living in Iceland, we don't get that harsh winter and relatively cold summers (-15°C winter to 15°C in summer on average) so I recon I would feel right at home in that -6°C. The worst thing over here is the wind factor, even if we don't get as cold weather as Canada or northern Norway/Sweden/Finland, there is almost never less than 12 m/s wind here (small exaggeration), just to cool us down. I however would have been lost in those trees before landing :D (what you call bush we call a forest)
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
Happy to see those awesome GT Grabber X3’s on Sooty and sporting the GT decals!! Rock On in the white stuff!!!
Is it just me or does Barney and jock actually seem like really good mates lol they both make episodes so good
Woohoo new 4wd action video right at the beginning of my lunch break. Top effort fellas
this is funny to watch cause i live in canada and wheel in the snow all the time
have you never heard of snow chains? I always had those for snow, so much more fun!
You mean bitch chains lol
JOCK!!!! Don't see enough of this guy
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!
.
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...
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!
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
That stew is what I imagine Arthur Morgan grabs at the campfire in horseshoe overlook 😄
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!!
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.
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!
It's funny to see people that have plenty of experience off roading encounter conditions that one would expect them to have had experiences with before. And react to it like it is something extra special. I don't take away the 1st time jollies of the experience. However, since this type of driving experience is old news for me(done it countless times) I find it interestingly funny to see how it lights up peoples excitement. It never stops being challenging and you always need your wits about you. And doing it in the night, fog, storms only adds the extra thrill. (not to mention danger) So if you have never done off roading in the night time, do that 1st before you try it in snow. And if you have never done driving in the snow, do that during the day. lol Build up to these conditions. Because it is not a rookie scenario to learn on.
Barney and Jock play in the snow...they look so happy..rolling down the hill with exposed belly on snow, lol..
I think the US has the most diversity but I think Australia has better tracks and I'd like to go and try it some time
Whoa ! It was refreshing ! in every sense of the term
Oh overland king of France is here
@@seckintufan5191 Ahaha yes! I try to watch good videos when I'm not creating ones 😁😁
You do good videos
@@seckintufan5191 Thanks 😊
compacted snow, is a nice idea unless you have a proper winter then its bloody ice, mt¨s you aint getting up
“Watch me take off” very comedian. 👍🏼👍🏼
born and raised in New England....if the snow isn't deep enough to high center your vehicle, don't lower the air pressure in your tires....you want them to dig through the snow to hard surface, not float on top, if ice rutted trail, well used....different story
It was commented at 11:58 that the drivers towards the rear were driving on compacted snow/ice. Would they be better off with a All terrain vs a mud tire in this situation? Or it doesn't really matter what tire, just sick some chains on it.
I loved this video more than any of the others , guys you really drive so well and also have so much fun ...
probably the best one this year - Excellent
I challenge you guys to do Canada, Vancouver to Goose Bay . , camping ,trekking,roading,and beer.!!
Should take a year and bit!
It's so good to look your videos guys, but it's so funny to look how you guys are driving in snow. 😀 Make a test next winter and buy winter tyres for one truck and then you can see how big difference it is (I know thet you can use them only once, but test can be interesting). Places where you use chains atm with winter tyres you just drive, but of course in mud these winter tyres are quite useless and same slippery like your offroad tyres in snow. 😀
I think this is my most favorite episode yet!
