- If you want to go snow wheeling make sure you are prepared! I take my 2 door Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon to northern Michigan to do some off-roading at Rockys and Valleys off-road park and attend Discover 4x4 Adventures' annual event called Snow

I've been doing a little snow wheeling alone in Utah in my Gladiator lately. It's sometimes scary! I need a winch so bad! Need a new font bumper first. I'm out here camping alone in the snow right now. I have to, it's my therapy.
Be safe! I can relate to that!
Great video as always! Tire size and wheel name and size please. Can’t find it again in the other videos. My two door should be done being built in a couple months hopefully. If I’m not mistaken you got 35’s with no lift. Think you will ever do a lift?
AEV JL wheels and 315/70r17
Get a winch!!! Seriously it can save your life!
@@AustinH7 it's definitely the first thing I plan on doing to it.
Another thing everyone should know. It’s fun as hell lol
frozen ground, it's amazing how much traction i can get, but watch out when the sun comes out later in the day and the frozen ground turns into mud and can change everything.
Thank you for the ride along, it's time to start making plans for my own adventure.
Yes 🙌
This channel is amazing! Wonderful content, deserves so many subs.
Thanks! ✌️will definitely keep going. Share with your friends!
Looks like so much fun !
Wrangler love
Not a bad vid bro. Some great tire tips, that being said, IMHO, BFG AT's are THE best all around trail tire. Couple things to note, A......4LOW is your friend. B...........when winching, you really don't need to spin your tires. this may slide you sideways, (trees), when you don't want to and/or dig you deeper, (high-center). Provided your winch is adequately powered, let the winch do most of the work. Cheers..........G
4LOW is actually my BEST friend
Subscribed! Keep up the good work and I hope to see you back for Snow Way Dude in 2023
Thanks!
Here in the GREAT PNW AKA WASHINGTON STATE we use M/T. Mud tires in the mountain snow they work way better than any bfg all terrain. Neve would have pulled winch line with the correct tires
Awesome!
Very good
I like the background percussion music at ~ 9:56. Isn't that the Al Gore Rhythm?
Thanks! It’s not, I get my all music for videos from SoundStripe.
When you're riding with M/T's in thee snow you just need more power to spin the wheel and get rid of the snow in the threads
Really like the video! nice stuff. you made a new subscriber! cheers!
As someone that has been "solo" in the snow for 5 seasons my biggest tip I would give is try 5 psi don't be scared.
next time...
Something I don't understand... Why don''t more Jeep owners run actual Winter tires? A proper set of Blizzaks would outperform A/T tires in snow and be a HUGE improvement on ice for daily driving. We run Blizzaks on our JLU and it is really good. We don't do much snow wheeling so not sure about that, but I see Jeeps sliding around on the roads all around here in NE Ohio in the Winter. A/T tire suck on ice compared to a dedicated Winter tire. Just wonder why more people don't run them?
Winter tires do not handle being aired down well, thin sidewalls, and tread pattern does not grab and grip the terrain you find off-road. Also not made in off-road tires sizes (for the reason mentioned). A three peak rated A/T will not slip and slide on winter roads.
@@SeekTheOpen that’s a good point, but an A/T tire vs. A Winter tire on ice is no competition. The Winter will destroy the A/T in grip and stopping on ice. I guess it comes down to where you do most of your driving. Around me in NE Ohio Jeeps spend most of their time on road. We have to go looking for off-road trails. Either way, didn’t mean to sidetrack the conversation. Just found the channel. Like the content so far.
Good to know!!
En la nieve hay q bajar presiones igual que en arena
Your tires really start to get traction under 10 psi
I run 6 psi on my 96 Cherokee. When i had my rock buggy i could run 2 psi without loosening a bead. Just keep in mind to be easy on the skinny pedal with low air pressure.
Absolutely!
Could you have used a traction board to get out instead of a winch (at least the first time when you centered on the bump)? Thanks for the video!
If I had used boards before I got stuck as a ramp then probably, but I doubt they would’ve worked after getting stuck, would not have fit in between the tire and step and putting up front wouldn’t do much, needed momentum or to be pulled forward hard.
Great stuff Bro-have yet to get into snow, but any advice is good advice.
Thanks 👍
Good video! You’ll get to 1k subs before you know it
Thanks!
I thought first tracks in new snow only mattered to skiers or boarders, not car drivers!!!! Duh!!!!
I really like the looks of ur jeep what kind of winch are u using ? I have an older jk just love a nice clean stock look .
Thanks! Winch is Smittybilt XRC GEN3 9.5K
Wondering how the downhill slide went with the Jeeps abs system. Did you hold the brake all the way down or just let the gearing do all the work?
The downhill assist is fine, makes a lot of noises. I prefer to put it in 4L 1st gear and let it roll
Very cool! Could the tire pressure even lower? maybe 10 psi?
definitely, I go down to 10 often
As someone who’s never driven in snow (live in S FLA), were you in 4lo or 4hi?
Drove mine on the snow paved road did not like. Scary slippery
not made for driving on the snow, should have got yourself a Toyota 4 Runner.
Q., size tires and rims? it look like 16inch rims....
315/70r17 on 17x8.5
What about winter snow tires? I'm a novice and have no idea.
Winter tires don’t come in the sizes I would run on a Wrangler. Even if they did a good all-terrain tire with 3 peak snow ratings will be better on and off road for a Wrangler. Can’t go wrong with KO2 or Falken Wildpeak A/T3W
has diesel Jeep issues cranking it up at -10 or -20 degree ?
Nope
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Hey! Yes that would be great 👍. How can I get in contact with you?
Don’t these ya hoos know about chains!!
Chains
Should I keep my 35inch mud hogs for the winter on my Jeep?
I wouldn’t
Another great one buddy. I too have a goal of more subscribers on my channel jeepNdirt. I'm shooting for 100000 and really close now with only 99947 left to go. Lol. Seriously, I love your channel.
Thanks! It’s all about the journey, right?! Lol 😂
@@SeekTheOpen Exactly.
Falkin AT3 with three peaks way better than KO2 in snow
KO2s are also three peaks. But yes those AT3W are a top tier tire.
This is why I went to a side by side and I can buy 3 for the price of one jeep and maybe a 4 wheeler too ?
These clowns always stop at the wrong places.
