@@TruckHouseLife -I’m sure you mom has been nervous for you as well, that was a sketchy drive for sure, good thing you had the chains … keep in trucking safely 🤟🏼
My anxiety is off the chain 😂 and I'm drinking coffee sitting on my couch watching you you are hardcore Timmy be safe man you'll be there before you know it!
I'm glad to hear someone else consider the past when dealing with what is really a minor inconvenience. 5 mph in a heated cab is a helluva lot better than in a Conestoga or on a horse. Glad you made it safely.
Watching you drive those icy roads in the mountain passes brought back a lot of memories of my years driving my 18 wheeler in those conditions and the work out I got chaining up. All your videos are awesome, keep them coming and safe travels back to Alaska!
If your "extra crazy" you can double the cross chains to create MORE consistent traction. I have done this for my skidloader chains. Additonally, with your over sized rims you might be able to use an emergency chain. Which are quicker. On the black ice (and reg ice) you can go 2-3x faster with cables. They are nice to have in your arsenal ...AND they would clear your rear spring issue . SSC brand is what we generally use.
You’re bad ass Tim!! I’ve done the AlCan a few times couple times in the winter… but driving the truck house up the Duffy in the winter? Pulling a trailer??? Superbad ass!! Good luck on your travels ifn we cross paths I’ll be sure to buy you a cup of Jo!!
Definitely a scary drive that Highway 99 from Whistler to Lillooet always in the winter especially this year due to a slide, avalanche and ice and snow weather. Glad to see you made it through safely!
Omg! I am freaking out watching you! I am so afraid of driving in the snow. So happy you made it safely. Great videos, I am binge watching! Be safe my friend!
Yeah, camera doesn't really catch it...but when you hit that first hairpin ...yeah, I kinda got a Pucker Factor ....jeesshhh. Well Done, Sir! Like a Professional!!
You just found the reason a lot of people keep trucks stock. Tires, chains, parts easy to find and work without modification. I lost my fuze box on my datsun in the middle of night. Flashlight held in my left hand as light in a rainstorm outside of Whitehorse. It was an adventure. JMHO
Tim i feel you have kinda understated the importance of "being prepared" fueling up at nearly every chance, having a very good stockpile of food, having chains for the truck [i feel chaining up one axle on the trailer would have been prudent] and being very cautious. you drove on roads in conditions that kill people and made it through safely. great content and keep it coming!!!
Yes Timmy did a great drive, I was waiting about Chains on trailer, Timmy said he just had one sit of chains, This was Mouth or More ago, So Timmy made it & truck, Great Video, Thanks Timmy, God Blessings from Iowa, USA
It’s all about perspective my man and you’ve got the right idea. Hearing you talk about how the people had to do that travel back in the day made me smile. That’s how I approach building my homestead. Sure it’s hard but it could be much harder.
You're nailin' it brother, slow and steady. Great videos, Probably a good stiff shot of some Canadian whiskey tonight once you're all settled in, you deserve it. Cheers!
I drove that same bend on 99 this past April - that was scary without snow! A bit further on, there were very steep climbs and drops - pretty sure my brakes were failing on one slope, and I had to pulse and pull over to cool them off. Beautiful scenery, if you make it out.

I love my wheel adapters, (had same issue on used rims i bought but didnt check ford 8 lug pattern and inset was off.. my 1986 has late model lug pattern now.. they spaced my rim out now... Great Videos!!!!
I was a tire chain repair man/garage man for salt trucks for 5 years. We made chain bungee cords from old innertubes they are more elastic than the ones you are using and we put multiple ones on each tire say 6 to a tire. Makes them super tight.
Glad you made it through those sketchy sections, my girlfriend and I visited Lillioett last spring and that mountain pass is sketchy any day let alone in the winter! Well done man and im glad you're safe, love the channel, keep on trucking my friend😊✌🏼
Just found your channel, brings back some memories. In 1989 I was in the military and got stationed in Alaska from Texas, packed up a pick up with extra gas, 4 extra tires and a quad and head up in January ready for the adventure. Was a great time tell the truck got flipped upside down in the Yukon and couldn’t even dig out the quad took about 3 hours tell someone came by, got it flipped back over and proceeded on tell the an axle snapped about 100 miles from my destination, towed it in and drive back out almost 4 years to the day later, I guess I didn’t learn my lesson. Needless to say the trip down to the lower 48 was more enjoyable as I had no problems thank goodness. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos, great job and thanks for the great content.
Timmy, you've got to start giving an itinerary. I am sure people watching wouldn't mind helping you out with a place to park, suggestions to cool spots, or a hot shower.
Your the man! towing on the Duffy in the summer can be a bit of a white knuckler! doing it in the winter with those road conditions is just scary!! Well Done!
Talking about the old days like that. I think the same thing traversing death valley in the middle of summer with the ac blasting and a 48oz double gulp with lot of ice. You still crazy man!!
Black ice is everywhere in the shaded areas of the mountains in winter. Add the long ascents and descents. Strongly suggest driving during the daylight hours if possible. Most importantly take your time. Go over an embankment and you might not get spotted till spring or summer. Good luck.
Dang Tim i know how that feels, in november I went on a caribou hunt near circle ak and going uphill with my trailer it jack knifed like you had and the trailer actually saved me by getting stuck in the snow on the edge of the cliff. Goodluck on your travels back to AK!
Working in mexico for the week, and decided id much rather watch Timmy with a cold beer than some overpaid football players in the superbowl, great upload dude loved it!! Your hitting your stride!!
Considering the slick conditions having extra grip on the steer wheels might not be bad. Also there is a front brake bias so the extra stopping power can't hurt either. Stay safe!
I was really concerned for you on that icy road, especially those icy downhill hairpin turns that made my stomach do flip flops! It is So damn easy to start sliding and there is nothing you can do when it brakes loose! I fishtailed one time for about 100 yards on the ice knowing that each time I was going in the ditch but "HE" must have saved me, thank you again. Timmy, thank you for the great videos and stay safer!
Your Young n brave Timmy. That pass coming down on 13 grid had me tightening my Stomach. Crazy but nice video man. Be careful man!! Sometimes risks will take you out.
Dude I absolutely love your videos. I’m in the UK and we don’t get your weather, although I lived in Canada for a short while and experienced -40. Keep up the good work 👍 can’t wait for more content.
Well done, congratulations! Now since you are safe, I'll get me a beer. We have less problem with snow and ice here, but flooding may be a hazard. Greetings from Thailand!
Hi Tim - I’m waiting too. Won’t text you since it’s 4 hrs earlier there & you’re sleeping! Love Mom.
Hey you! I'll call you this week, almost back!:)
@@TruckHouseLife -I’m sure you mom has been nervous for you as well, that was a sketchy drive for sure, good thing you had the chains … keep in trucking safely 🤟🏼
Hi Timmy's mom. You did a damn good job!
Hi Miss Johnson
@@TaylorHomeCare yes Timmy’s mom… you sure did do a great job 😃
My anxiety is off the chain 😂 and I'm drinking coffee sitting on my couch watching you you are hardcore Timmy be safe man you'll be there before you know it!
I also live in a box truck. I would wait it out, drink coffee and watch RUclips. :)
I watched this entire "series" yesterday catching up as I haven't had much time for youtube lately. Some great stuff and a cliffhanger every time!
Keep em coming Timmy! This channel is becoming my favorite thing to watch everyday!
right on!
I'm glad to hear someone else consider the past when dealing with what is really a minor inconvenience. 5 mph in a heated cab is a helluva lot better than in a Conestoga or on a horse.
Glad you made it safely.
fact!
easy to take for granted.
we are definitely fortunate to have this technology.
those of us who are allowed to know how to manage it, that is.
That hill has a 19% grade going south into Pemberton...hell of ride going down.
-- Survival builds integrity, grit, discipline and awareness.
It's good to realize that you're still breathing.
*_Thank you!_*
It's hard to comprehend that was a sketchier drive than a rocky road with a drop off of a few hundred feet but I believe ya! Thanks for the ride!
Nice job driving for the conditions. Take it easy and you'll arrive alive.
I have a 7.3. I'm surprised how easy he starts his truck with the cold.
probs has a block heater to aid his glow boys. his truck looks pretty trick
I know, mine will crank for days in 40 degree weather 😩😂
❤️ your channel.... be safe... I'm n lower 48... always wanted see Alaska.. keep posting... God bless buddy
Good video. Keep on trucking homeboy
Tim is a skilled and patient driver. Good video !!
Thanks for taking us along.
Tim, I appreciate you taking us on your adventure and being safe! Love your stuff!
I have to say, I stopped breathing a couple of times. A nightmare when you don't have any control. Nice one Timmy
Wisdom plus patience equals reward !!
Watching you drive those icy roads in the mountain passes brought back a lot of memories of my years driving my 18 wheeler in those conditions and the work out I got chaining up. All your videos are awesome, keep them coming and safe travels back to Alaska!
This a Mouth or More behind So Timmy been in Alaska on live, So I know Timmy and trucks are Okay
Love the sound of that old diesel

Well Done, Sir! Like a Professional!!
so pleased to see part 2 had been published. as MAV says, "keep on truckin'":)
Well done Timmy !!!
Good thing you put them on the front ! You wouldn't make the switchbacks downhill otherwise. Good driving !

I’m loving these videos of yours so much ! Keep them coming please !

Glad too see you made it over safely! Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe while trucking up there.

Yup I try to be prepared haha.
I’ve driven winter roads in Montana and Alaska. I could feel my blood pressure rising while watching this. You did a great job.
It’s all about perspective my man and you’ve got the right idea. Hearing you talk about how the people had to do that travel back in the day made me smile. That’s how I approach building my homestead. Sure it’s hard but it could be much harder.

Great driving you got a big pair to drive in that stuff. Good Luck. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck driving and be safe!

Big balls. Thanks Timmy for sharing Timmy! I've driven this pass a few times mostly summer and really enjoyed watching. Anyway cheers from Australia
Great real life drama👍☮️❄️
Well done Tim, good driving and concentration. I love watching your adventures.
Ha I would have sat and waited until the roads were clear! 😂🤣
I was nervous for you. Stay safe. 👍
Glad you made it through those sketchy sections, my girlfriend and I visited Lillioett last spring and that mountain pass is sketchy any day let alone in the winter! Well done man and im glad you're safe, love the channel, keep on trucking my friend😊✌🏼

Hi Mom

maybe I did;)
Tim has gotta be the hardest working RUclipsr I know! The guy really works for his content. Cheers to that!
cheers!
Timmy, you've got to start giving an itinerary. I am sure people watching wouldn't mind helping you out with a place to park, suggestions to cool spots, or a hot shower.
If he's in a bind he can always ask on the community tab
too much info;)
Your the man! towing on the Duffy in the summer can be a bit of a white knuckler! doing it in the winter with those road conditions is just scary!! Well Done!
This is great viewing. Really good stuff.
Talking about the old days like that. I think the same thing traversing death valley in the middle of summer with the ac blasting and a 48oz double gulp with lot of ice. You still crazy man!!

Never go that way in winter......glad ya made it safely.Awesome motorcycle ride in the summer though......
Yeah another great adventure.
sure was!
Bro your truck is a beast. I own a 99 f350 7.3. There is no other truck that can even come close. Love all your content.
This truck is so badass. 7.3 with the centurion looking pain job, and those wheels complete the look w the flatbed
Thanks!
Great job tim negotiating the mountains, very impressed.safe travels cant wait to see alaska and wheelin w the samari👍🇺🇸
Please have a trip over the mountains God bless 🙏❤️
🙈🙈🙈 I probably would of just lost my shit and walked down that pass. Lol glad you made it safely
Cayoosh reminds me of Red Mountain Pass on steroids! Wow, the places pioneers built roads 😁
You have balls of steel
Glad you made it safe! I bit off all my nails! I’m sure your mom is glad too!
coolest setup on RUclips. what a dream. thanks for sharing your experience
Dang Tim i know how that feels, in november I went on a caribou hunt near circle ak and going uphill with my trailer it jack knifed like you had and the trailer actually saved me by getting stuck in the snow on the edge of the cliff. Goodluck on your travels back to AK!
And people wonder why i don’t drive home to NW BC too often. Hmmmm … got sick of doing that drive twice a year. Safe travels and good luck
Cool glad you made it.
THANK GOD YOU MADE IT SAFE AND SOUND
I think I need a really really strong drink after watching this! Safe travels!
me too;)
Good ol BC, glad you’re doing good!
The Lillooet Valley was pretty spectacular.
What a driving adventure!!! You're awesome! 👍😎🇨🇦
I was just in BC…skiing at Whistler. I love it there. Thanks for the great video.
Nice!
Working in mexico for the week, and decided id much rather watch Timmy with a cold beer than some overpaid football players in the superbowl, great upload dude loved it!! Your hitting your stride!!

WOW WOW WOWZA , GLAD YOU MADE IT SAFELY!
I had one of these trucks and the rear gearing was a 4:10 Locker from factory. use to have no issue in snow with good tires in Central Alberta
Scary I've done some icy roads b4 but that was totally scary, you are a skillful driver! Stay safe always 🙏for the road 👍💯
I was really concerned for you on that icy road, especially those icy downhill hairpin turns that made my stomach do flip flops! It is So damn easy to start sliding and there is nothing you can do when it brakes loose!

Your Young n brave Timmy. That pass coming down on 13 grid had me tightening my Stomach. Crazy but nice video man. Be careful man!! Sometimes risks will take you out.
You can get a 1 inch wheel spacer to move those rears out to clear those chains.
Let your tire air out on a block and chain up, re air and then they will be firm and travel faster. :)
Dude I absolutely love your videos. I’m in the UK and we don’t get your weather, although I lived in Canada for a short while and experienced -40. Keep up the good work 👍 can’t wait for more content.
advice- get a narrow set of bfg all terains for the snow. thank me later. and by narrow i mean the most narrow tread you can find/ fit.
Well done, congratulations! Now since you are safe, I'll get me a beer. We have less problem with snow and ice here, but flooding may be a hazard. Greetings from Thailand!
