Lifted CRV in the snow - Part 2

This is a clip of my friend trying out my recently lifted CRV.

My friend is purposely trying to get stuck. Looks like fun. Can't wait for the first "real" snow storm.

after seeing those all terrains in the snow, i know for sure I will not be buying them now. That is terrible. they are such a good looking tire, but perform so horribly in anything other than rocks, gravel roads and dry pavement

@dynomax666 That's really weird. No offense intended but are you joking? Everywhere on my channel I say how much I love my BFGs... Read my video descriptions.

[JoeIsOut2lunch]

@dynomax666 1. I run out of power before I run out of traction unless my RPM is 4500 and over.

2. These are better in deep snow than on other icy ROAD conditions, I have AWD so I don't feel it but a lot of my buddies who have RWD / 4X4's have lost control on the hwy because the rubber is harder than winter tires and they don't have the luxiury of having something turning the front wheels on for them like my CRV.

I personally would rock some Yokohama Geolander M/T+ tires or the BFGoodrich Krawler or Mud-Terrain's. Basically anything with a more aggressive tread for shitty weather. But that's my personal taste for bad weather.

@bastec666 I don't know where your from but those tires are no good in Canada. I wanted to go for the BF Mud-Terrains but after reading many reviews I found out that they have harder rubber and therefore suck in the snow. I like the BF A/T's, I can run them at low tire pressure and use them all year long. I honestly believe that when it comes to forward/backward traction in deep snow even the Blizzaks would have a hard time beating the A/T's but to each his own eh? PS: check my new videos =D

[bogdanp9]

not really. i would say the opposite

[Flipster1325]

i was told that a vehicle with a transfer case is considered 4wd

hence the name of the system "Real Time 4WD"

even wikipedia calls it a 4WD

also with google =P

good system anyway saves gas and gets you somewhere in the snow and its not so hard to maintain.

@JoeIsOut2lunch Yeah, good call. You have to find something that fits your needs. My road trip ended up being awesome, and both my and my friend's vehicles made it from Colorado, to Indiana, New Mexico, San Fran, up to some trails on Mt. Saint Helens, then all the way down the coast to San Diego and back. Good times.

@chadking Hey, I just read your comment. I must have missed it somehow when you posted a little while back. I think you have hit the nail on the head... I too want a Jeep Rubicon... but I don't see the value.

I have two requirements for my next vehicle and both the Jeep and CRV don't meet them:

1. I want to go off-roading with little concern of repair costs

2. I want to tow what I hope to be my new boat (24ft Pontoon Boat).

I think I'm going for a used Tundra & $ave for lock diff

@JoeIsOut2lunch Go spend your money on a real 4WD. I have a CRV and would never consider taking it off road.

What size tires nd how much of a lift

[gilwatling]

@JoeIsOut2lunch Read the manual, it warns about deep water, there are warnings of open vented rear axel
