Install and some footage from the first snow.

Every spring I head south to the Sierra Nevada mountains to meet up with the most experienced owners of 4x4 snow tracks and we challenge ourselves to climb some of the toughest terrain there is. These trips come with no shortage of "stucks". That's all part of the fun. Come along with us and see what a group of experienced back country snow track drivers can overcome. If you are interested in a set of snow tracks, look up @rubitracks

On this solo adventure I head down to the beautiful area of Lake Tahoe to throw some snow tracks on my Jeep to see what the hype is all about. Over the course of a weekend I meet up with the owner of Rubitracks along with a bunch of others, all with snow tracks on and we explore the local mountains putting the tracks to the test! If you've ever wondered about how these do, or have even considered buying some, you'll want to watch this video!

GotSlapz(Lew) with Up Country towing went deep with his guy Oscar into the Eastern Sierra on their new rubitrax to save a new friend Jayden, stuck in the snow in his Suzuki Samurai.

When my friend Kyle messaged me a month before this trip asking if I wanted to head out on snow tracks my obvious and only answer was YES. So we spent over a month planning and researching for the best possible location with the best possible snow. It was a bit of a learning curve learning to wheel with the tracks.

👋 High Grounders, welcome back! In this video I felt like doing something a little different. I'm going to give you all an update on my winter build, snow tracks and share some of the experience I've gained taking snow tracks out deeper and more consistently then just about anyone I've met. Recently I've see there's a lot of YouTubers out there who are getting into tracks in an attempt to capitalize on the novel hype associated with them. Given their motivations, I can't really blame them for the type of content or opinions they might share, but as someone who's spent an extreme amount of time learning how to properly incorporate snowtracks into my backcountry winter 4x4 adventures, I don't think they always present an authentic representation and I'm hoping to shift that back to reality. In today's videos I hope to give you an update on my winter build, specifically talking about decisions I've made with my choices in snow tracks and camping setup. I want to answer some of the common questions I get, update you on some major changes to my build and also present a point of view on snow tracks, that I think represents a truer example of what they are actually capable of. In this video, I brought out @LetsGetLost. and @HookedandLoadedOfficial for their first time experiencing snow tracks, so you'll also hear their point of view too. I look forward to linking to Tyler's full adventure movie when it's ready in a few weeks and hopefully some of our audience take the time to better understand why SNOW TRACKS ARE PERFECT FOR EXTREME WINTER 4x4 ADVENTURES! Don't forget to like, subscribe or comment and remember... I'll see you at the top 🫡 #jeep #jeepgladiator #4x4 #snow #snowtracks #overlanding #overlanders #overlandtruck #winter #tracks #britishcolumbia

Six miles in three days, buried to the tray and winched out on the Wentworth Springs Trail. Shaun Whale and Jock McDonald chase the Rubicon Trail through the Sierra Nevada in Northern California. Days before the boys landed, a blizzard shut roads through the mountains and left the Rubicon trailhead buried and virtually impassable. So the plan changes: push out to the old trail start at Wentworth Springs instead — six miles of forest road in the Eldorado National Forest that would normally take an hour. Three American mates come along to show a couple of Aussies how it's done: Dmitriy in a Toyota Tacoma running actual rubber tracks instead of tyres, Justin in a Jeep Wrangler on 40s, and Liam in a Jeep on 35s. Shaun Whale has the Dirty 30 LandCruiser on fresh 37s. Jock McDonald ends up in a flat-tray American HiLux with twin transfer cases, front and rear lockers and a 3.4L V6 swap. It falls apart almost immediately. The pavement stops, the tracks in front stop, and the first obstacle is a frozen bog hole that swallows the Dirty 30 to the tray at a hidden creek. From there it's Runva winch work, snatch recoveries, hours on the shovels and one full day that covers 500 metres of ground. A bead lets go on the camera car and comes back up on the Morrflate multi-tyre inflation system. A rubber track jumps its rollers on the Stellar Built Tacoma and has to be jacked and re-tensioned in the powder. Overnight temps sit around -7C, so camp is a heat tent, diesel heaters and swags under an awning, with a pot of Rubicon soup and a carne asada cook-up out of the Dometic. Then a foot of fresh falls on the lot of them and a wind storm gets forecast for the ridges. Day three they run out of wheel tracks altogether and start breaking trail, airing down from 5 PSI to 3 and staggering the whole convoy biggest tyres to smallest. They get within a good snowball throw of the Wentworth Springs turnoff before the call gets made. The trip finishes at Uncle Tom's Cabin, a volunteer-run bar on the same road that has been going in one form or another since the 1800s, where the boys sign a dollar bill for the wall. Next leg: a locals-only run through the back country of Northern California. 🔧 In snow that soft I'd run my tyres at ____ PSI 📍 The coldest night I've ever camped in was ____ ----------------- CHAPTERS ----------------- 0:00 Intro 4:41 Wentworth Springs Trail - first snow bog hole 7:25 Tacoma on tracks ploughs the deep snow 12:13 LandCruiser buried to the tray 16:16 Making a campsite in deep snow 22:55 Gerle Creek bridge and frozen crossings 28:32 Track comes off the Tacoma 31:21 Night recoveries in the snow 33:10 End of the tyre tracks 39:25 A foot of fresh snow overnight 42:30 Breaking trail in virgin snow 47:11 Turning back short of Wentworth Springs 52:05 Uncle Tom's Cabin ----------------- Our Crew: ----------------- Liam from Stedi: https://www.stediusa.com/ Justin from Morrflate: https://morrflate.com/ Dmitriy from Stellar Built: https://stellarbuilt.com/ Camera Car: https://dasmule.com/ --------------------------------------- Our Essential USA Gear: --------------------------------------- 4WD Roof Racks: https://kaymar.com/ Jeep Clutch: https://www.uniclutch.com/ Auto Parts: https://www.napaonline.com/ Off-Road Winches: https://www.runva.com/ Canopy/Tray: https://mitsalloy.com.au/usa/ Shauno's 4WD Spotlights: https://www.stediusa.com/ 4WD Protective Paint: https://raptorcoatings.com/en/ 4x4 Off-Road Accessories: https://offroadanimal.com/ Shauno's Fridge: https://www.dometic.com/en-au/outdoor Off-Road Air Inflation & Deflation Tools: https://morrflate.com/ Protective Phone Case & Mount: https://www.quadlockcase.com 📸 Instagram: @4wd247 📘 Facebook: @4wd247 🎵 TikTok: @4wd247 Shaun, Graham, Jock & Jesse — formerly with 4WD Action — have been delivering Australia's best off-road content for 20+ years.

👋 HighGrounders! Great to see you. This week we have an exciting adventure where we partner with the local snowmobile club to take my #jeepgladiator #alucab on #snowtracks up to an alpine bowl on the coastal mountains. This adventure is one of my favourites to date because of how awesome the people and the location was. The snowmobile club and members were amazing to give me special permission and support me with doing this safely and I'm grateful for them. It snowed heavily the night before but we found the weather & snow conditions shifted quickly during the day while we were in the alpine bowl, causing a massive snowbridge to collapse. With Nightfall stuck and night quickly falling, we raced against time to recover the #snoverlander to avoid leaving it in the alpine overnight. Did we make it? You'll have to watch until the end and find out. If you are interested in learning more about the lessons learned or these fun expeditions I go on every weekend with our discord members group then follow over on https://instagram.com/highgroundbynigthfall or join our community over at https://highgroundbynightfall.com where you can pick up some merch to support our ability to organize trips to get others out doors, or join our discord community, all for a very small members fee.

👋 HighGrounders, it's been a little while since I posted a long form 4wd adventure on the snow tracks. If you've been following over on https://instagram.com/highgroundbynightfall you'll now I've been on plenty of short and long overlanding adventures recently, but I was waiting for inspirationso I could publish a movie for you. The long form content requires a lot of effort and sometimes that inspiration isn't there for a bit, but we always rally back. And now we're back with an exciting 4X4 adventure on the snowtracks in Lake Tahoe with 6 overlanding trucks. Make sure you show some love to the others who joined this trip! @rubitracks @avalanchetechnical @stellarbuilt @SnailTrail4x4 @Justjeepingadventures Show them all some love and don't forget to join us on https://discord.gg/4dYftPGDnP if you are in BC and want to come rally with the homies this summer! or grab a shirt or hoodie over at https://highgroundbynightfall.com We'll have lots more overlanding adventures in the snow, and certainly more snow tracks videos as well soon!

back up in the hills in the Snowzuki. great day with some awesome people in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. it's pretty nice to have this so close to home, definitely wouldn't want to live anywhere else!! ended up hanging with @ghouliegarage and his bad ass Fiat (not a bug 😂) which was a kick in the pants! so cool meeting good people in the mountains @rubitracks #goodtimes #goodday #pnw #washington #mountains #snow #snowwheeling #getoutside #suzukisamurai #fiat #rubitracks #neverstopexploring #wheeling

👋 HighGrounders, we've got a banger today! This is the first trip of the long awaited #SNOVERLANDER where Duane and I head north and recover two vehicles in (at times) waist deep snow on a mountain pass before exploring deep into the back country on #SnowTracks If you are interested in supporting the rally, by becoming a rally member or grabbing some merch, head on over to our website... https://HighGroundByNightfall.com/joiner 🤘See you at the top 🏔

small crew for a large loop around Mount Rainier. Snow wheeling at it's finest! love having this so close to home! #goodtimes #suzukisamurai #washington #wheeling #pnw #getoutside #mountains #neverstopexploring #snow #snowwheeling #toyota

Here’s a walk through the off grid Jackson Meadows Lodge near Truckee California where we held the first annual Rubitracks Invitational event. its 100# off grid, powered primarily by solar.
