Off-Road Misfortune: The Jeep Adventure Without Tire Chains
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лют 2024
- I tagged along with a group that was headed to Margaret Lake, which is located in the ever popular Ghost PLUZ. I had been here before, but in the summer. Never in the winter. Ghost is NOT known for its difficult trails; it's really turned into a training ground for new wheelers; given that I'm looking for more challenging trails I have almost been avoiding this entire area. That being said, there are a ton of places to go in the Ghost region; and I knew the hills leading to Margaret Lake would be a challenge.
So I packed my gear (no tire chains), some snacks, my unwilling participant and we hit the road searching for another adventrue.

That was a great video, thanks for sharing. Yes the Ghost region is pretty tame now in days, most of the good trails have been closed for many years now. Back in the early seventies I grew up in the back seat of my dads CJ5 wheeling every weekend. Margret lake was an all day adventure to get back to in the summer months. That's where I caught my first cut thought trout. Me and a friend of mine made a trip up there late last fall before the snow and the memories just started coming back of my dad and all his wheeling buddy's from all those years ago. What a blast!!
I used chains when I had 33inch tires when I up to 35's I haven't bought them yet for them.

Subscribed! Awesome video, looks like loads of fun!
I couldn't help myslef :)
This video really makes me want to run this trail which I haven’t yet this winter! I really enjoy watching your videos as your editing and voiceovers is top notch! I ALWAYS have my chains in the jeep, but then again I’m still running open diffs 🤦🏼♂️
@@joedirtadventuresThanks for the feedback!! It was a fun little trail; definitely check it out. Chains are dialed...the expedition that ended up towing Mandi up that hill was on full chains; might be a good idea to get a set. Having the rear locked was the dialed setup for me; I only had issues on one hill; once I locked up the rear it was easy.
Awesome video!
Those hills are no joke in winter 🙃
Thanks! I did get my wish; it was a somewhat challenging run is rare in Ghost :)
fun video!! Those hills can get nice and slippery for sure!
Thanks Jason! Yeah those hills can get sketchy, but it’s expected with all the traffic in the area. I don’t own chains, likely never will, but I sure wouldn’t go winter wheeling without lockers. The amount of traffic is one of the reasons I’m not the biggest fan of Ghost.
Excellent video! Question... for snow like that, I see you air down quite a bit. Do you ride with both lockers, 4 low, traction control off?
Just rear locked; I find that if the front is locked too much steering is compromised. I have a manual and 1st gear is too high; so I tend to use 4-low more than you would in an automatic. Also, 4.10 just isn’t enough for 35s. I have 4.88 Dynatrac axles coming in the next week or so. Looking forward to seeing how they performs.
