@Erhorn300 I don't know where you go fourwheeling. Most people who do,don't use 4hi. I use 4lo anytime I wheel. Depending on the conditions of the trail, it'll depend on whether the throttle will work for you or against you. That was hard pack snow, I would have buried my truck up to the frame,or slide it off that road and over the ledge
yeah that downward slope heading towards that edge dont help at all lol..if that was just a flat patch with no drops on the side im sure he would of been through that easy but when your risking rollin your rig and injury to yourself its different
Yeah if your running a street tire.....Look where going slow got this guy...nowhere!!I dont know what kinda snow you wheel in, but 'round here, slow=stuck
Well Im glad you didnt gas it right there because that big ol chevy would not look so pretty at the bottom off that canyon. Just air those tires way down, at least half flat(pressure depends on weight, tire size, rim width, snow conditions etc.) Then stick it in first and idle across there. The afternoon is the worst time of day to atempt this. We wheel at night alot when the snow is firm. Now go back this spring and get some video of you driving across there.
Engles, Have you ever Snow wheeled before? Give it more gas and you will be stuck up to the frame rails in snow and be doing a lot of digging to get out. Granted, this is pretty mild compare to what I used to do but spinning tires would allmost allways get you stuck. Looks like he has at least a limited slip maybe lockers so all I can say is let air out of the tires. I used to run my Jeep at 2PSI in the deep stuff.
The first time I ever went wheeling was in the snow. I was with a couple guys that knew what they doing and I learned a ton from them. I was and still am amazed at what we where able to climb. One of our favorite Trips was South Meadow over by Ennis in the middle of December or Flathead pass in February. I tell you what though, A SOA short wheelbase CJ5 with lockers front and rear and 35 inch mud tires was no fun on the slick highways to and from the trails. Spent more time sideways the straight

When fourwheeling remember three main guidellines, put it in 4hi, shift into drive, and floor it.

Snow is like mud. You gotta spin the tires as fast as you can to clean out the treads. Pussyfottin it aint gonna work. Nice Chev though!!
blazin9683 3 years ago
Driving in snow is NOT like mud, spinning the tires just digs down and turns the slush to ice under the tires and gets you stuck worse.

#1 No offense but whoever is driving needs to quit babying the truck and give it some balls.
#2 you need better tires.
Great video though.
