took the keystrokes right off my keyboard... haha Chains would make quick and easy work of that trail for sure!

Those mud terrain tires don't have the best grip for snow or ice in my experience. No sipes for the snow...or grip on ice.

You have mud tires on , not snow tires . Snow tires made a world of difference.

Yup they do.

Just found your channel, and admire how lucky you are to be so close to incredible places to wheel. I started a little channel here in the US (southeast) jeepNdirt and just getting started, but inspired by areas like yours. Great stuff, I'm subscribed for sure.

I’ve dealt enough with icy roads upstate NY, nighttime subzero temps, then morning sun puts a thin layer of water over that ice on mountain roads, Foote Hollow Road in Stamford, NY, I’ve almost ended up in a ditch sometimes with my Grand Wagoneer, 4 Runner & Isuzu Trooper, before any crews drop sand and salt, and you have sliding that spiked tires will only handle. I’d say my ‘97 Trooper was the best of all handling. Got me outta thick and thin, nowadays I have a 2010 JK Rubicon and the Mrs a 2016 JKU 75th Anniversary Edition, no more Stamford house though.

I'm glad I have Nokian winter tyres with steel studs on my JK Rubicon JK 😊 Those mud tyres are useless on packed snow and Ice.

Would love to see a BLD equipped Jeep (all 2018+) being used, my understanding is that it is close to having lockers.

I'm not sure how well it works but my 2000 Land Rover Discovery has extremely strong traction control and I can't stand the idea of just having an open dip and a locker with no middle ground. My traction control response immediately and grabs really hard not just a little bit where it doesn't transfer enough power Toyota or Subaru but I'm not sure how the Jeep goes. I know the system in my truck was so good that a.m. General took it from Land Rover and used it in the later model of the Hummer along with the torsen gears. That's another good thing if you have a mechanical LSD with a 3:1 torque bias and you have Wheel in the it doesn't just grab like traction control it grabs and then it multiplies the torque from with the brakes are providing to send more power than an open differential would that's why I think having a rear locker and an Eaton true trac in front is the way to go unless you're doing literal rock climbing or if you don't have any form of traction control but if you do yeah and mechanical LSD with strong TC is outrageous and there's no feedback at all to the driver

Yes I have extremely aggressive traction control on my old Land Rover Discovery 2 and with mud terrains down at 20 lb and lots of articulation it is so seamless it's just a little slip and immediately grabbed hard. I think it's one of the things Land Rover actually does good outside of on reliable funkiness is there original traction control from the early 2000s. Now I like lockers no doubt but I like to just not be unlocked or locked but rather go 90% of places with my TC just grabbing immediately and then when I really need a locker I can use it. Because I see guys with lockers using them in places that I don't need to because of my TC. And I'm thinking to myself damn they go from open (when my tc has an issue) to locked and that's all. I would hate to live in the All or Nothing with no good middle ground. And the TC isn't just Middle Ground gosh it's like 80% or more but just seamlessly. I think mine works as good or better than Jeep and Toyota A-Trak even for a 2002 vehicle not to mention it's fun to actually drive something you never see out on trails in America as opposed to the UK or the rest of the world

I have no off-roading experience, other than on motorcycles. Interested in your thoughts on tire chains when it’s more about traction than clearance (mud or snow). I know no one locks hubs anymore, but does anyone still chain the front axle? Any thoughts on winter tires, like Blizzaks? Clearing deadfall with the winch was pretty cool. I have a lot to learn.

Tire chains work amazing just time consuming to put on. Blizzaks work good but I like bfg ko2s
