Uncle Toms Cabin Snow Run 

Glad you like them!

I would love to, I’m sure I’ll make it out there one day

If you like pushing your limits and playing in the ditches, you end up getting stuck. That’s how you know what your vehicle is capable of 👍

Definitely, I even bring saws and fire logs.

That XJ was huge, he got through some pretty deep stuff.

Lmao, when you’re prepared it’s fun. If you’re not prepared it’s a nightmare. I chase these storms and look for the bad roads, hoping to find someone stuck.

@@4x4rescue74 I guess it could be when yer prepared, sure some nice looking rigs rolling up there! Cheers

how was it? Was it still doable?

Thanks man 👍

Your Camry can drive through 3-4’ of snow?

@@4x4rescue74 there was never even more than one ft of snow it the video. Do you have a concept of how deep three to four ft is?

Yeah some people get stressed out when they’re stuck.

Chains don’t work well in deep snow. It’s better to air down super low and try to stay on top. There’s no way you will make contact with the ground when it’s 3-6’ deep. If you’re driving on road ways with 1-2’ sure, but not when you’re dealing with several feet. I suppose if it was already packed down and iced over chains would help but even then they like to dig down.

@@4x4rescue74 I agree that I have not tried the snow chains in very deep snow, as in your case, when the snow is above the wheel. But even about one or two inches you said something strange. With such a thickness of snow, chains are usually not set up, unless it is already the thickness of a rolled dense crust or icy coating, along which the chains cannot dig to solid ground. The essence of the chain is to provide a much higher grip of the wheel with the surface. It can be so strong when the wheels hit the ground that the instructions say not to put much on accelerator, otherwise you can break the drive shaft in some cases. But judging by your video: all your tires are wide and not winter at all. Just tires for mud and dirt? The tire depressurization method you mentioned is known and also comes from driving on sand and soft ground. In snow, the opposite is recommended - not wide, but narrow tires (so the contact patch with a slippery surface is smaller for sliding, and the mass per unit area is higher, and for snow and ice it is preferable from the point of view of physics, so the general recommendation is to use tires one size for winter narrower, not wider) and in some cases the release of pressure also helps, I agree. But, I repeat, I use chains on two simple weak sedans when the snow falls 10-20 cm. And for the sake of interest, of course, I drove with chains through snowdrifts 30-40 cm high, but not a meter, as in your video. But still - none of the best winter tires in the world, even with a pressure lowered to 1 bar, will not provide such grip as even the cheapest snow chain on the same tire. Even in a meter deep snow. Just take any of the SUVs from the video next time, put narrow factory wheels on it again, but preferably with winter tires, put chains on all 4 wheels and you will be surprised at how it will drive in deep snow. Maybe not perfect due to the ground clearance (not all SUVs are good at pushing snow under the bottom due to their design), but much better than what you would expect.

Not bad for the first real storm of the year. By January and February it will likely be 10-15’ deep

Thanks for the sub!

Works both ways 👍

One day, they’re expensive tho

Some guys run chains but it’s not common when you’re dealing with several feet of snow. We usually only get stuck when we’re playing in the berms. Chains like to dig down, airing down super low helps keep you on top. Hard to run chains when you’re airing down to 5-10psi.

@@4x4rescue74 Shouldn't need to air down with STUDDED chains... In fact I air down to put on my chains on than air up to snug up the chains.

Clearly these 2 clowns think they know it all in the comments. In this video. Clearly this guy knows what' he is doing. Every one likes to internet bash. I would like to know when you head back up there. Looks like a lot of fun. Hit me up.

@@4x4rescue74 in all my years off roading I’m the snow, it’s better to have chains with you than not. Especially if you don’t have tires you can air down to 5-10 psi.

@@captseamuschains aren’t going to do anything in 3 foot of snow my guy. Chains are more for ice. Not great in snow

Does he have a RU-vid or Instagram that you know of?

@austintremewan

It’s uncommon to see people running tire chains in several feet of snow. Chains like to dig down, if it was under 2’ they would work well. Airing down super low keeps you on top of the deep stuff

Thanks buddy

🤞

Yeah, probably closer to 1.5/2min

Lol, yeah several vehicles got stuck there. Little bit of an incline with sloppy, slick snow. Plus, he wasn’t aired down at all.

It is a little quirky at times

I run around 30-33 in my JKU but the JT seems to handle better around 40. With all the gear and metal bumpers,skids and sliders the JK is around 5,500lb, I would imagine the JT is similar
