some Utah snow wheeling

I thought i would share some snow wheeling me and a few other friends went out for yesterday.Since i don't have a rig i was riding shotgun and taking video

video 1 the collection of jeeps for the day.

video 2 the beginning was easy going for the most part till the vehicle i was in with 39's could no longer break trail.so a buggy on 42's took over for a bit.

video 3 first real hard spot.then are friend Tim aired down to 2 pounds to show how its done.

video 4 Tim showing us how its done.

video 5 are friend Bart was the next up.

video 6 the only none jeep out and he was doing good all day.

video 7 my friend Chad and my ride going for it

video 8 the next big challenge was a small hill

video 9 once 3 other vehicles had been up it was a breeze for us.

video 10 doesn't look like much but its a hill with a turn that took a bit to get around.

video 11 this was it we had gone from about a foot of snow down at the bottom to about 3~3 1/2 and it was only getting deeper.

most of the rigs out were on 35's~36's.my ride was on 39's and the stretched Cj-5 buggy was on 42's just to give you more of a visual clue as to how deep it had gotten.

Nice double post.

Yes the last week or two we have been getting dumped on.Problem is it still won't be enough to drag us out of drought come summer.
