4x4s Colide While Snow Wheeling In A Blizzard. Jeep Gladiator On 39s Finds Carnage In Deep Snow...

- Let's hit the snow!
Today on Dirt lifestyle we take our Jeep gladiator eco diesel on a Snow run! Snow wheeling is not for everyone and lots of caution should be taken when planning these trips. But with the right gear and people around you these are an outstanding way to experience offroad culture. We definitely find what we are looking for, but we also end up have a few accidents. Not all snow is created equal, and when temperatures hover around freezing it makes for very slick conditions. The Colder the snow, the better the traction in most cases. The coldest it got up there was 30 deg F so the hills were pretty challenging. That said, everyone is OK! Just some dented bumpers and broken fairleads. It doesn't matter who you are, we all will have an offroad fail at some point, but being prepare will dictate how you will tell the story later. I hope you enjoy the video! It is difficult to overstate just how hard these videos are to make so bear with me lol. I'm just a regular dude doing his best!

This highlights why regardless of how capable your rig is always go in a group. Glad everyone made it out ok. Rigs can be fixed
Huh, I actually think it would have been better to not be in a group. Then the guy in front can stop or go whenever they want and not get hit by people behind you not paying attention.
Also the people who will not go out because no one will go with them kind of irk me. But for me getting out in the woods and on the trails isn't about bringing people with me, it's about getting away.
Never wheel alone. Engine stall and doesn't turn back on, you'd better have some zero degree clothes and sleeping accommodations.
@@mikewhitman745 until something goes wrong and you need help. Even in Nate's video very capable rigs were stuck to the point that they needed help. Personally I would rather deal with a little body damage than dying of hypothermia
If you're willing to let other people's schedules and baggage define your life that's fine, I just don't think it's that big a deal going out on your own and everyone that says don't do that probably never tried it or were unprepared. Majority of my wheeling has been by myself and, gasp!, I've run chainsaws out there while being alone! I've also winched myself out of bad spots, fixed broken suspension and went in with a v8 and limped out on 4.
I'm not saying a group is a bad idea but anyone that says don't go by yourself ever I have less respect for.
@@mikewhitman745 no one needs your respect. Just because you haven't had an emergency that would require another person to assist you, doesn't mean it won't ever happen. Glad you've been fortunate but to dismiss what has been a wheeling safe guard with this comment is irresponsible. Everyone's done some easy wheeling alone, but this videos type of adventure is extremely dangerous on your own. To each thier own.
*Strong language warning in this video.
What a great day! If you plan on hitting some snow in your rig I have a few bits of knowledge I would like to share with you. First off, Not all snow is created equal!!! Hey Nate! How does your gladiator do in the snow? It's like asking how it does in dirt lol. Wet dirt? Dry dirt? Dirt in the desert? Dirt in the mountains? Snow has many forms too. I have found the snow here in the Washington mountains to be much slicker than many other places because our snow is hardly frozen. Snow at 32 degrees is not the same as snow at plus 10 or minus 10. Ask anyone from Alaska and they will tell you that you can drive a car with good tires down the Hwy if the snow is cold enough but when they get a "warm front" you can struggle with a 4x4 truck if the snow is close enough to 32 degrees. The snow you see in today's video changes a lot with elevation. Much easier to drive on at higher elevation but the hill everyone slid down was ice cream. The lowest temp I saw all day was 30 F which is bad news if you don't have bead locks. This brings me to my next bit of knowledge to share. Tire Pressure is 90% of your success in this stuff! 10 psi is not low enough unless you are in a VERY heavy rig. In my experience 5 is a good place to start in your average Jeep or Toyota but I highly recommend going lower. Chains are a GREAT option as well. My gladiator was at 1 psi in the rear and 4 psi in the front. If you don't have the right wheels to go this low or you aren't comfortable going this low I Highly recommend avoiding steep, dangerous places like the mountains in Washington. Or perhaps avoid deep snow all together. This is not the same situation as a couple inches in your driveway. Deep snow should be respected BUT if you are prepared this is about as much fun as you can handle in a 4x4!!!
Thank you Yankum Ropes for sponsoring today's video! You can buy these ropes on our website! www.thedirtlifestyle.com
Those ropes are on my Christmas list.
Also, to add to Nates explanation, air pressure changes with elevation. So if you aired down to 7 or 8 at the bottom, you will be back up around 10 or 11 after roughly 2000ft of elevation gain and losing traction again. Just remember that if you’re aired down really low at the top then you should air back up before you get all the way down because your pressure will also go down as you leave the mountain.
@@jeremywilms5406 very good point 👊 I wish I included this info lol. Hard to get it all in one comment
I don't think anyone here cares about the spicy language, some of us prefer it.
A other key lesson is allowing space, especially headed up or down steep climbs to allow the front vehicle to clear. Looks like a fun time. Let me know when you want to go play around the mountain loop hiway.
5:23 "I ran outta clever."
Dude, That is my new motto. It is so VERY versatile. It's a great response to a lot of questions...
"Whelp, I ran outta clever."
I live in the town where you all met up and started up the mountain and I go up into those hills quite often. It’s cool to see you made it up to the rock pit at the top and that last hill is no joke, it can be a tricky one. Also, thank you for not saying exactly where you guys went, that place is getting super popular and clogs up easily and often. Nice work on the video.
I love that area so much. One of my favorites for sure👊 I love your town too
yes! there have been other videos that he did not disclose the exact location, and i also want to say *thank you* nate for not spoon feeding everyone the "secret locations" and encouraging the over crowding of our spots just for a thumbs up !
@@MrMrsregor you sound like 5 y.o. kid. what do you mean "our spots" you own the place? maybe it's you who is overcrowding it. how did you find that spot? nobody was hiding it from you. there are hundreds of beautiful trails in the area. so go ahead and put a gate or set up a camp there and protect it with your life.
@@piotrtrocki3842 i sound like a five year old.?.
i was just thanking this guy for being considerate and you get your butt hurt and start whining and bitching...
i find these places on maps and while out exploring while i always have. i dont rely on social media to give me ideas or tell me where i should go.
i only thanked him for not advertising these places, because i have been doing this shit for over 25 years, and literally every place that gets publicized, gets very busy, trashed, and then gated.
where i live we had thousands of miles of offroad trails in "our" (our=we the people of the united states that like to enjoy our public land and not profit greedily by advertising nice places for my own monetary gain) national forest, until people on social media popularized the trails so much that they are ALL now "permanently closed due to over use and trash"
I am all about public use land, but when youtubers, bloggers, and Instagramers do their best to publicize "nice, quiet, secret, places", then they are no longer nice, quiet, secret, places, they get shut down for "over use" and "over crowding". i am all about sharing information, but advertising to as many people as possible for notoriety and a thumbs up is selfish and greedy.
you totally missed my point. I dont want any gates, i dont want anyone to feel the need to protect our trails with their life. but i have been around long enough to see places get too much attention and they all get shut down. Nate here on Dirt lifestyle even talks about this exact same thing in one of his videos.
so, no need to get so butt hurt, my comment was not a direct insult to you all that need things to be spoon fed to them because they cant find cool shit. its just a compliant to nate

A lot of people don't realize how fast things can go wrong while snow wheeling. I hope this video puts things into perspective. Amazing video Nate!
I know you said it’s hard to film, but I love videos like this. Hope to see more.
Thanks buddy 👊
Watched this because it reminded me of the years of growing up in Eastern Washington and belonging to a 4wd club. Before snatch em straps. We had good inch a half...rope encased in old firehouse. We also didn't have bead lock rims, or wide tires. Good tall sidewall skinny SNOW tires [used tubes to allow us to air down ]. Some studded and some not. But we all carried and chained up. We would line every up and link each other together and drop into low range. Some rigs had lockers and some didn't. Lockers in snow can sometimes cause more problems...pushing and pulling in snow can make steering tough. Road captains kept the pace and spacing and called the run early in the event of foul weather. To get down during daylight. This was in the 70's and many of us were prior military and used to being in convoys. Atleast damage was minimal... Sadly these new vehicles have expensive parts. Snow wheeling can be fun. But always unpredictable lots of caution and safety first so everyone has fun.
Also. Once again Nate. Amazing footage. So many camera angles. Perfect editing. It takes so much gear and time to make a video like this look this good!
Thank you!
Super rad video, wonderful trip, great to meet you and now it's time to build a front bumper.
Thanks for coming! Happy as hell to have you
Your vids are typically excellent, but the cinematography & editing (slow-mo effects, backlighting, etc.) were SPECTACULAR.
Great video., and im so glad you kept the crash stuff in. I think it's important for people to understand this can happen.
What an AWESOME snow run. Memories for years, holy cow, GREAT CONTENT NATE👋🏻😎✌🏻
Thank you!
In a world where people get mad over anything and everything it’s great to see you bringing everyone together with a common interest to have fun and hang out and despite of the challenges for everyone to still be smiling at the end of the day. Your cinema-tics, detailing and music selection makes you one of my favorite channels to watch. Keep up the great work Nate!
One of your best videos yet. Can't wait to see more snow wheeling this winter. Great content for the PNW viewers.
Awesome footage Nate, good that it was only vehicle damage and no one was hurt.
Thanks! Yeah we are very thankful of how it turned out
Sliding on ice and gravel,you're along for the ride.I live in Big Bear,commute down to the desert and deal with people who have zero clue about winter driving and wind up creating a line 3 miles long.Awesome video and love the channel,one of the best on youtube.
Thanks! I appreciate it brother 👊
Love to see regardless of what happens everyone keep such a good attitude!! That’s AWSOME!!
when I'm out wheeling, the mantra is: Safe distance, slow as possible, as fast as necessary.
safe distance usually means at least two cars, far enough to be safe, close enough to not lose sight after a bend.
But yeah, you guys had fun and dings are part of it. Just means you get to bolt more NEW SHINY STUFF to the rig 🤣🤣
Great filming and editing, as always Nate. I'm a Canadian, we have snow 5-6 months a year where we live. I tend to shy away from snow wheeling - usually ends up being more work than fun.
Can't hardly wait 🇺🇸
The wagoneer is sick!
Glad we weren't the only ones having fun mixed with a little scary moments. We made the great decision to camp in the storm. Getting out Monday morning was fun. Next time I think we're going with a bigger group! Safety in numbers. Keep the snow vids coming! I'm getting a Yankum rope!
Sweet, looks like you guys found the good snow! Hope everyone was alright after those collisions, sliding is never fun, especially when you know there is people in front of you.
It was pretty dope for the first deep snow of the season! More snow on the way...😎
appreciate the b roll on this. It's beautiful
As much as I hate snow from my unfortunate job transfers from Texas to the north east, I am glad it was you guys and not me, lol.
We have bugger all snow here in Australia. Only in the South-east, & only in the high country, which is not very high. So this was a new titillating experience for me. Found your channel a week ago looking at you Harbour trailer build
Glad you enjoyed it man! We want to come to Australia and hit some trails one day...
@@DirtLifestyle I live in North Queensland, home to the Telegraph Track (hundreds of UA-cam videos if you want to search it), the most iconic track in Australia, which is on everyone's bucket list. & if you ever do venture this way, you would be most welcome to join me on a trip up there. But I must warn you be prepared for lots of mud, & very deep crosdings in crocodile inhabited creeks
Our first snow wheel this yr was the kinda wet stuff so that when it gets packed it totally slicks up to ice in short order. Being that, I have waited for rigs in the group to clear the hill down ...or up before i start my journey. Not interested in playing demo derby with anyone's rig let alone mine.
Snow wheeling is never about getting in a rush....patience is for the win.
This has to be the best snow wheeling video out there
Lol damn! Thanks brother 👊
Beautiful footage. Reminds me of wheeling with my Air Force coworkers in the Black Hills of South Dakota back in the 90’s.
That diesel wagoneer is cool
Good to see all smiles. Like you said Nate, Rubbins Racing.....
Looks like winter wondeland. Who cares abalt the steel.
You had a great time.
Cheers to all of you. 🍻
Im really suprised how good the all terrains did in the deep stuff. looks like you all had a ball!!
That Wagoneer is badass!
Looked like a lot of fun glad everyone made it out !
I fricken wish I could find a wheeling group to wheel in the snow with... jealous!
Now that's real snow wheeling!
Epic snow!
the quality of this video is just on point. glad you guys got some good snow.
would love to see a closer look on that wagoneer!
You guys are gutsy wheeling in snow. I did it a few times with my ATV, and you never know what surprise could be hiding under that white blanket.
Beautiful location!!! The drone shots from way up were awesome!
Looks like the Gladiator on 39’s did pretty freakin good, nice 👍🏻
Tremendous filmography as usual! Also well done keeping everyones spirits up while also ensuring it wouldnt happen again without pointing fingers. 👍
Thanks!
Moral is as important as any tool to keep the group moving. A valuable lesson I learned when I ran construction crews lol
Love how positive the guys was "I'm going to build a shorty now!".
Glad no one was hurt during the filming of this trip. Amazing footage.
There's a good lesson here. A bumper needs to be strong enough to withstand a small impact, but be weaker than the frame.
I would love to see the TJ and the Gladiator having fun in the snow together. Bonus points for a tug of war between them.
One day lol tj needs a motor first
I'm sure the gladiator would win, weight+torque
Awesome video!!! Great cinematography, editing, and content! Thanks so much!!
Thank you!
Content and beautiful videography like this gets my blood pumping and turns my inspiration switch up to high! Great shots and well put together as always.
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying this stuff 👊
Thanks man looked like a fun trip. Stay safe and happy trails 👣
Wow, those brb k02's appear to do very good in the snow
Im part of WORN and that group has been incredibly active with all these storms lately.
All the collisions are an example of why in certain situations you go one at a time to clear an obstacle before the next one goes. This applies to going up steep hills and especially when going downhill in slick conditions. Glad everyone made it out without injury and only somewhat minor damage.
Glad everyone is okay 👌💓
It's just parts, our club had a slush fund, no pun intended.
Money to purchase parts, everyone gets together to repair the worst first!.
Keepin it real, have fun getting together, remember it's all for fun 😉.
Thanks for the great footage.l hope we get to see the ♥️ and repairs. Thanks again.
I hope l am able to remain so calm 😌and supportive.
💜 to all, ❄ 🤏 🇨🇦.✌🏻👀 😎 later.
Awesome videography and composition with the music. At one point it felt like a "Christmas Snow Wheeling" music video!
Wish we had places like this to snow wheel here in Northeast Ohio, even when we get a big lake effect snow storm there aren't really any "legal" places to do it. Some years ago a buddy of mine decided to do some snow wheeling during a heavy lake effect storm and ended up getting stuck in the middle of a field in snow up to his hood. Called me at like 1 am, before I even answered the phone, I knew exactly why he was calling lol. We ended up having to take my brother's rock crawler to get him out.
Headed up to the Grayling, Michigan area this winter for a snow wheeling trip. Should be fun, it's about 4 hours from toledo, it would be a doable long weekend trip from Cleveland or maybe even a little farther east. Have a good winter! Happy to see other Ohio people!
looked like a lot of fun. I love the snow, ironically I hate the cold though. 🤣
Great vid man! Lots of great looking rigs but that Old Wagoneer is sick!
Cheers from Vancouver Island!
Thanks!
That Gladiator KILLS IT!!!! Nice build bro
Awesome video man love the deep snow wheeling, glad everyone was ok metal can be repaired, that Jeep Waggoner is awesome!!
Just so everyone is aware. That's 95 feet of snow!
And I'm stuck down here in Louisiana. And you people are having all the fun. Great 👍 👌 work
We can see Mt Baker from Abbotsford, Canada near where I live. :)
Loved watching it…from FLORIDA!!!
Seriously though. I’ve always wanted to snow wheel. Looks like a blast!!
Thanks man! Yeah it was a great time!
Yep you found deep snow 😂👍👍
With the snow taller than your grill, it's tome to turn around.
Just came across your Channel after years of watching bleepin Jeep. I’m not to far away from ya. I reside in forest grove Oregon. Happy wheelin bud!
Dude that was crazy!!! Really glad no body got hurt!!! Awesome vid as always 👊🏻
Play it again Sam : you mud remember des when you slips n slide; when 2 vehicles meet a kiss is just a kiss when in drifting waist deep snow. As time goes by.
"Did you just say you have a collision?!"
"..yeah Roger that, WHhooOAA"
Awesome footage man! Great tunes too
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching 👊
i’m a sucker for that wagoneer. I will one day own one.
I always keep my tire chains onboard when I go into the back country this time of year just in case things go sideways. And my Pull-Pal goes with me year round.
Love ya Nate! Thanks for everything you teach bro. 🙏 Glad to see everyone ok, and, unfortunately, seeing how amazing having quality(and the right) gear can really save our rigs and our lives with minimal if any damage.
Some gem comments in this one.. 😂
“I’ve ran out of clever…” haha.
Keep doing brother! You rock. Happy holidays! ❤️👌🙏
"I ran out of clever" needs to be on an @Dirt Lifestyle shirt.
Y'all should do this again but with everyone completely chained up.
It's so much more fun with a good set of custom fit logging truck chains.
NW Oregon and Washington we don't need chains. Completely different situation/snow up here.
@@kdigiacomo I wasn't saying they needed them but they would have walked through all the stuff they got stuck in with them on, I spent many reckless winters deep in Montana mountains fully chained and there's no tire that can compare to a beefy set of chains.
@@trrbocknyader I understand your point, but it's just in that one spot which up here is rare. Like he said no brakes and just roll through, there wouldn't have been a problem. No hate against your comment but chains take forever to put on, and here it's not a thing because theirs ways around never needing them. I run bias 39.5s, never needed chains. If it's icy or loose I run my radial 37's.
It's still my opinion chains are superior to any tire in the snow and well worth the effort to put them on and off.
@@trrbocknyader Where do you live? I'm assuming you're not driving in 8' of sticky snow.
The kinetic rope sure got a work out! That's when you know you're having fun.
My sentiment exactly 💯
I had to come back and watch this again it’s a great video
Good stuff Nate. I always enjoying seeing what you come up with and the shoots you have in your videos. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for watching and for always having a positive comment 👊
Dude your gladiator is kickass! I can’t believe how well it managed in that deep snow like nothing
This was a finely made video. Great documentation of an incredible day!
Boy, does that deep snow look like a lot of fun!
The gladiator looks nice
It's such a fun truck! I'm lucky wife let's me borrow it lol
Wow! Just amazing!. Great job. I love it. Thanks for the great video!
Neat machines , pull right up at 85 degrees 6 feet away and winch back on the road instead down the side of it . 👍🏻 even with limited space & 46 feet of snow ❄️
Great video! We love snow wheeling. We have a 1985 Suzuki sj413k. Basically a long wheel base samuria pick up truck from the factory. It has a small lift 30 inch tires lockers,winch etc and only weighs 2300 pounds loaded so it floats really well at 5psi in the snow.
Think it’s time to ditch that Tacoma. That Gladiator is putting it to shame. Send some of that snow to Utah please.
Missed the live feed sorry man. Looks like ya'll had an awesome time up until the end there. Glad no one got hurt.
Nice video. Hope to one day get out with you guys on a run. It's always super congested when the first snow starts flying. And the snow is always a different beast every time. Typically snow runs always run late. Glad to see you everyone made it out safe.
Id love to bring my diesel JT up and go snow wheeling in late feb or march!
I love snow wheelin! I am too scared to take my totally rust free tj on the salty highways though so I’ll just enjoy through your channel.
Lol salt destroys rigs. My tow rig is rusting to peices from years of snowy Mt passes
That Wagoneer tho!
Having driven on Colorado's mountain trails and how sketchy they can get.. I can only imagine how sketchy it would be in snow like that. Also I didn't think you guys were that high up until your drone shots started.. Incredible shots
Been there! Love it!
It's gorgeous tere
OMG this is sooooo awesome !!!
Man your jeep truck did awesome ..👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
I am so pleased with how capable this truck is with such a small amount of work. And my wife absolutely loves it for a daily 👍
Holy moses, I'm early for once! Love your content nate! Maybe see you up at browns camp some time?
Hell yeah! I love browns camp. Maybe when I finish my Taco I need to plan a trip
The snow is so fun but can be some of the most scary times with sliding uncontrollably but just keep calm and make proper decisions at the right time and you can always rebuild just watch out for everyone safety awesome video i cant wait to get out this year!
That looked like an awesome time🍻
That's tough wheelin right there.
