I had a grand Cherokee and it was by far, hands down, the best vehicle for winter driving I've ever driven. Even when the tires weren't that great it still would go through any amount of snow easily.
I saw your video years ago and now i'm back lol. Still very impressive. My Cobalt SS spins when there's a slight drizzle out lol. If there's a city bus next to me and there's a merge I might as well let him go hehe.
@millenniumenvironmental9041 wow 4 years already since that comment. I just got rid of my cobalt recently which hurt. She still ran strong. Putting around in a Civic lx right now but gotta do it for a while. The Civic is alright. Slow but comfortable and easy to drive.
I spent 30 years working in field service in Vt. and its all about the tires. I love studded snows, they are the tool for the job. They made even my full size vans with rear drive a snow crushing machine. Put them on a AWD and your golden. I dont believe in all season tires when in snow country. Ice is what you really need to be concerned with as fresh snow is generally no big deal. Nice vehicle and it sounds great, much nicer than anything I have ever owned. Thanks for sharing
It's amazing what tires can do. This year I was late putting on my studded Nokians. I left my Falken's on and we had snow, pretty scary ride. I log haul in Northern Alberta and wouldn't choose any other vehicle to get me home when weather is bad, plus having over 500hp is a bonus.
VERY cool dude. I love the SRT8 Jeep's. It's the 1 vehicle that most people don't expect to be beaten by, much less the regular Hemi Jeep's or any other V8 Jeep for that matter in the last 12 years that were made. Good going.
i was in mammoth with this jeep last year and it snowed 4 feet overnight and i had the snowtires on and it handled like a dream no issues at all. i highly recommend this car its unreal.
I thumbed this up on the principle that he's right about the snow condition and his comment on his VW was funny as hell! LOTS OF VARIABLES PEOPLE: Type of Snow, Type of Tires, Ground Clearance, Number of Wheels that grip, Wheel-spin speed, Driver. Not all variables apply and they can affect each other adversely. Powder snow videos look impressive to everybody but the ones who live in a snowy area...but I'll take an AWD over a 2WD any day! PS: Props to the driver for enjoying his vehicle.
I miss my jeep for the offroad road capabilities but that was in the early 2000s in las vegas before all the desert had been built on. I had a 98 5.9l Grand Cherokee with a 100shot and back in like 2003 they were still the shyt. I used to smoke a lot of cars even before I added the spray.
i highly recomend the jeep srt8 08+ its an amazing suv and my favorite car ive ever had. I ran the stock wheels with snow tires , there was nothing i couldnt climb
I can attest that these Blizzack tires are phenomenal! Like nothing I have ever seen! I have run studded snow tires before, and these tires, UN-studded, will out perform them!!! I have lived in Utah for 18 years, Montana for 13, and now live in Missouri where studded tires are illegal..so I am no amateur when it come to driving in the snow! Another nice thing is that they come in sizes for most vehicles that require low profile tires. although they are a bit expensive, they are worth it!
Guys he's not saying its better then another vehicle but he's showing the capability of the truck with blizzaks tires and from a guy who owns one that is very impressive. Yes other vehicles do it but most srt owners don't drive them in the winter cause they feel it wont move in high snow. Great video
I was just curious I have the stock staggered rims and I was going to order these tires for my 2009 srt8 jeep but I wondered what size you used considering it is hard to match both the front and the back tire size unless they are the stock goodyear tires and I heard those suck in the snow. So I was going to go with the blizzaks.
Love the srt8- I'm looking at one of these as a next vehicle, possibly. What rims, and size wheels and tires are you running? We live in an area that gets snowfall-
surprisingly the bumper never broke, i went through much deeper snow in mammoth and had no issued either. The jeep is fucking amazing in the snow with these blizzaks.
Would you say other the power, did the tires make that much diff? Looks like it. Do you run them all year long or change them out after the snow season?
Top video and I am just looking at buying one of these and was searching YT to see how they did in heavy snow. That's that question answered then! Simply amazing climbing this would have killed a lot of 4x4's. As to a Miata going up the same slope, I'm sure it could, but only if you were pulling it with this monster!!!
for the people saying that this is an impressive just because it's a jeep doesn't mean anything this car is set up to be a racecar that's what SRT means the drivetrain isn't built for off roading so it is impressive
It’s not impressive when you go through powder. A car could get through that. Now if it was heavier and wetter snow then it might be a little impressive.
These jeeps are insane. I’m a mopar master tech and have beat I mean test driven them all. The only other 2 stock from mopar vehicles that were faster, in my humble opinion, was the viper and the twin turbo stealth. The new challengers are pretty amazing too ..
Ive been a jeep fan and owner since I was 16. Im 30 now. And though out the years ive had wranglers, Cherokee and grand Cherokee. I personally live the ild v8 wranglers which is what I own. I had the i6 engine cherokee which wad great. But the newer m I del str8 are breath taking. Every thing you want from a Truck and more.
Sir, you have balls of steel. Id be so shit scared going up and even more so down a hill that steep in the snow. Especially with an open road at the bottom of it! lol. Nice SRT too.
damn, did you do that climb in the factory oe street tires? that is impressive, this suv is made for the street with it's lowered stance, low profile wheels and street tires. Im now really convinced that this maybe a good move to buy one now. Of course a set of performance snow tires on any car makes it about 100x better than any performance summers.
Most that have the trackhawk n srt8 jeeps track them or run quarter mile, i wanna see one with a lift and mud tires doing some serious four wheeling!!! Lol
not gonna like that was pretty nut's seeing the first new frames of this video, i was thinking to myself there's now way that cars gonna make it up! Very cool, blizzaks are amazing from what i hear/see.
Hi guy, I am seeking in Argentina a srt8. The point is that I like off road and I was thinking in a Overland instead a SRT 8. Buy I see how easily you move in the snow. I wonder if the one you have is taller from the front than when it comes from the factory. Did you modify suspension? Please give me an advise. Thanks. Gustavo.
+Gustavo Sosa This ones looks like stock ride height. You could do a mild suspension or body lift on an SRT Jeep, just keep in mind that it will have a negative impact on handling.
I don't care if it is a driveway, it was still a steep drive and even more impressive that it was done in a SRT.
The exhaust on that Jeep sounds amazing!!!
That’s impressive
Don’t care what they say 👍
Screw the haters. THAT was impressive.
That hemi sounds beautiful
I had a grand Cherokee and it was by far, hands down, the best vehicle for winter driving I've ever driven. Even when the tires weren't that great it still would go through any amount of snow easily.
Thanks for making video! Answered a LOT of questions for many of us!
Quite impressive mate. Beautiful jeep aswell, love the exhaust rumble, keep it up!
Very impressive management of power!
the sound of the supercharged engine is like music to my ears
sounds more like a noisy power steering pump to me
ehh you don't get it.
power steering pump or t case
srt8s are not supercharged
sk88boarding you can install after market one
I saw your video years ago and now i'm back lol. Still very impressive. My Cobalt SS spins when there's a slight drizzle out lol. If there's a city bus next to me and there's a merge I might as well let him go hehe.
same here haha sick video

I'm glad I watched this so many forums complain about how this jeep can do what I just witnessed. thanks for making this
Lol I was thinking " Man this dam Chicago snow will be too much for it" Thank you for making my choice!! 👍
What an unstoppable beast!!! Congrats buddy. Beautiful.
Love that exhaust sound 👍
Snow tires is the key .....and 4wheel drive even better...love that truck👍👍👍👍
Those do pretty dam good in the snow !!! I like that 👍👍👍
NICE DUDE! SOUNDS AMAZING!
Sounds absolutely awesome!
Must be some good tires!
It's amazing what tires can do.
This year I was late putting on my studded Nokians.
I left my Falken's on and we had snow, pretty scary ride.
I log haul in Northern Alberta and wouldn't choose any other vehicle to get me home when weather is bad, plus having over 500hp is a bonus.
Looks fun as hell! Sounds great! Wish my SRT 10 Ram was awd.
Pretty damn impressive considering the Open front and rear diffs on the Jeep SRT8. Looked like it was no prob. at all. Nice driving.
agreeed
VERY cool dude. I love the SRT8 Jeep's. It's the 1 vehicle that most people don't expect to be beaten by, much less the regular Hemi Jeep's or any other V8 Jeep for that matter in the last 12 years that were made. Good going.
That's one awesome driveway
sounds great man beautiful truck :)
That Jeep is a Beast!!!!! 👍🏻
I'm planing on buying one in couple of years when i get the money, can't wait for it !!!! srt8 power !!!
thats one way to plow your driveway :P! Awesome jeep!
i was in mammoth with this jeep last year and it snowed 4 feet overnight and i had the snowtires on and it handled like a dream no issues at all. i highly recommend this car its unreal.
nice tires, thanks for sharing!
Beastyyyyyyy. 4 real
Srt 4 wheel drive
And a hemi
You winning my guy
What a sound. This body style is better looking than the current model. I'm just realizing it now. & I desperately wanted the new one
This video helped me make my decision to buy a 2014 SRT 7 years ago!
Still got it ?
Can't go wrong with a hemi or sound! If I could have waited I would have got the Durango SRT based off of the Jeep but settled with RT. Nice ride!
I thumbed this up on the principle that he's right about the snow condition and his comment on his VW was funny as hell!
LOTS OF VARIABLES PEOPLE: Type of Snow, Type of Tires, Ground Clearance, Number of Wheels that grip, Wheel-spin speed, Driver. Not all variables apply and they can affect each other adversely.
Powder snow videos look impressive to everybody but the ones who live in a snowy area...but I'll take an AWD over a 2WD any day!
PS: Props to the driver for enjoying his vehicle.
Love it, no doubt´s about taking the hill. just go for it
Wow! Way better than I imagined.
Thanks!
I was watching and from the camera angle looking down I said, "No way he's going to make it up that hill." Great Video.
Awesome climbing,,nice exaust sound.Keep it that way bro.
Had the same style on my ford focus . Great tires, highly recommend them.
Very impressive! Sweet ride man
Jeep snowplows everyone's driveway! awesome job
I miss my jeep for the offroad road capabilities but that was in the early 2000s in las vegas before all the desert had been built on. I had a 98 5.9l Grand Cherokee with a 100shot and back in like 2003 they were still the shyt. I used to smoke a lot of cars even before I added the spray.
That is awesome dude,and it climb very easy. Nice going.
i highly recomend the jeep srt8 08+ its an amazing suv and my favorite car ive ever had. I ran the stock wheels with snow tires , there was nothing i couldnt climb
That was impressive. Nice vid.
Nice jeep srt8 man! My jeep only has the 5.7L hemi. But either way, you gotta love the Quadra Trac 2 system!
Sick jeep man!
Tires make all the difference in the world...the SRT engine just makes its more fun to drive and a joy to listen to.
Without a doubt the baddest all wheel drive vehicle on the planet!
hey man dont min people you have a bad ass jeep i love the platform and your sti is always a hands down fav of mine
jeep is and always will be the benchmark in offroading

Are you running staggered setup on your Jeep GC SRT8. I'm looking for a winter setup & prefer the stock look...Thx!
@AnixGear how much did u paid for ur borla s cat and did it stayed with the same exhaust tips at the end? was it hard to put on?
Guys he's not saying its better then another vehicle but he's showing the capability of the truck with blizzaks tires and from a guy who owns one that is very impressive. Yes other vehicles do it but most srt owners don't drive them in the winter cause they feel it wont move in high snow. Great video
sincerely impressed!
What size did you buy when you got the Blizzak's? Did you stay with the original staggered size?
I was just curious I have the stock staggered rims and I was going to order these tires for my 2009 srt8 jeep but I wondered what size you used considering it is hard to match both the front and the back tire size unless they are the stock goodyear tires and I heard those suck in the snow. So I was going to go with the blizzaks.
What he said.... awesome traction with those Blizzak's
Awsome V8 👍👍👍
thats a kick ass jeep that youve got there fellas
Nice exhaust note. What exhaust is on that and did it require headers?
of course! almost done with it. just needs the coils on then she's MAG cover ready!
Love the srt8- I'm looking at one of these as a next vehicle, possibly. What rims, and size wheels and tires are you running? We live in an area that gets snowfall-

Я тащусь от этой тачки!!! В этом году я куплю её!!!
Never get sick of watching this video
Thanks!

Who needs a snow plow when you have this vehicle lol
looks like fun i want an srt8 this winter
I'm lookin at getting Blizzak tires for my 08 SRT8...I want to use the stock staggered rims. What size tires should i get? What did you use? Thanks
holy snow packed rims and wheel vibration Batman....
That's a nice piece of driving. Well done.
Up it like a summer day. That's badass.
Thats just damn impressive with that truck.... It isnt know for its "off road " capability or inclement weather but im impressed.
Bad ass boy!👍💪👌
Wonder what brand and series of muffler/exhaust set up is on that jeep. Could wake up to that every morning.
for the people saying that this is an impressive just because it's a jeep doesn't mean anything this car is set up to be a racecar that's what SRT means the drivetrain isn't built for off roading so it is impressive
Right...i was beyond impressed
The fact it could do that with those wheels and tires is impressive.
Anthony & Jennifer Michaels no it is not impressive snow on a driveway big dam deal. Jeep is a gay thing
Anthony & Jennifer Michaels not too impressive aren’t these AWD?
It’s not impressive when you go through powder. A car could get through that. Now if it was heavier and wetter snow then it might be a little impressive.
These jeeps are insane. I’m a mopar master tech and have beat I mean test driven them all. The only other 2 stock from mopar vehicles that were faster, in my humble opinion, was the viper and the twin turbo stealth. The new challengers are pretty amazing too ..
My 2015 Cherokee v6 was good in snow too when it was running 🤪
Ive been a jeep fan and owner since I was 16. Im 30 now. And though out the years ive had wranglers, Cherokee and grand Cherokee. I personally live the ild v8 wranglers which is what I own. I had the i6 engine cherokee which wad great. But the newer m I del str8 are breath taking. Every thing you want from a Truck and more.
nice neighborhood watch out for wolves!
Sir, you have balls of steel. Id be so shit scared going up and even more so down a hill that steep in the snow. Especially with an open road at the bottom of it! lol. Nice SRT too.
Im impressed!
Makes me miss my Jeep 😪
damn, did you do that climb in the factory oe street tires? that is impressive, this suv is made for the street with it's lowered stance, low profile wheels and street tires. Im now really convinced that this maybe a good move to buy one now. Of course a set of performance snow tires on any car makes it about 100x better than any performance summers.
Most that have the trackhawk n srt8 jeeps track them or run quarter mile, i wanna see one with a lift and mud tires doing some serious four wheeling!!! Lol
Dope vid. Is your jeep pretty much factory stock?
nice, going up the same hill twice, cool bro
not gonna like that was pretty nut's seeing the first new frames of this video, i was thinking to myself there's now way that cars gonna make it up! Very cool, blizzaks are amazing from what i hear/see.
Is it lowered? What lowering setup do you have?
Hell yeah JEEP POWER!!!
He's got some good grippy, winter tires on that baby, just ate that hill right up!!!
Glen Parks yessir I had blizzak snow tires on her 🤤👌🏽
Expensive. Nice jeep.
I love the sound
