Welcome back… TO THE USA! 🦅 We’re here for another EPIC adventure, but this time things are going to be different… we’re going to swap the heat of summer for the ice & snow of a true American winter! ❄️ SAVE $100 on a GME UHF XRS 370 Connect Combo Pack PLUS get your hands on a free sticker pack from Snatch! 👉 https://www.4wd247.com/products/gme-xrs-370-c4p-with-snatch-sticker-pack Our trip begins in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada’s, which just a few days prior to us arriving, was hit by a MASSIVE blizzard that closed roads, trapped 4WDers & brought temps down to well below freezing. 🌡️ We’re only a few miles from the Rubicon trailhead, which is currently buried in snow & virtually impassable - so we’re going to try push out to the old trail start via the Wentworth Springs OHV trail. It’s a journey of just six miles, but in these conditions, whether we can make it is anyone's guess… 😳 ----------------- 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/ 4WD Clothing: https://www.4wd247.com/pages/snatch-clothing Protective Phone Case & Mount: https://www.quadlockcase.com #4wheeler #jeep #tacoma #snow #blizzard #wheeling #build #offroading #4WD #overlanding #moab #utah #sierranevada #USATravel24Ep1

What an adventure this was! Exploring the snow covered landscape on tracks was one of the most epic Rubicon experiences we have had. Thank you Nick and Greg from Avalanche Technical for bringing us along. Shout out to Rubitracks from developing such a stellar product to be able to enjoy our backyard playground on tracks!

We hit the Alpine in our Track Jeep’s going exploring. At the same time, we did some gourmet cooking,  beef Bourguignon, sliders, smash burgers, and more! If you are a foodie, you need to check out!  Going where no tires can go, exploring the back country mountains and epic views. Come along with us and see what we see. 

We headed down to Lake Tahoe California for a road trip for the first Rubitrack invitational! The most track rigs in one place! How cool is that?! Super cool right! We visited the Jackson Meadow Lodge for our stay but getting there wasn’t without adventure! Stay tuned in and see what happens!

Many have asked so I decided to put one of the track videos I did with high ground. Take a peek!!

👋 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. If you don't have the money to donate to the cause, it's all good, send me a DM!

👋 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 🏔

Hit the whipsaw trail where it’s now winter and the people stranded had broken diffs and an axle failure. A total of three rigs! This could have been a lot worse.

We headed out with my friend Kyle for a day trip. What turned into a small trip, almost turned into not making it back that night. Pushing the limits of the tracks going up the hill in the snow.! Yes, I know the limits now I think. At least for these style tracks. It was an interesting day trip, and lots learned from it. Drone footage by Kyle while I was driving since his jeep is still in the shop being upgraded. 

While I was out exploring in the Track Jeep, we bumped in to some people that were stuck and one stranded. One of them stranded for four days! Went out winter, exploring, be sure to be prepared. 

We were out in the track Jeep exploring and when it came time to set up Camp, the tent and ladder was frozen solid! We broke out the heat gun and got our heater going in the tent. What an ordeal!

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

We headed out with a group to the Alpine, where there were some deep snow! Testing out my Track Jeep having some fun with some new, found friends with some super cool rigs! #fun #offroad #winter #trending #trackjeep 

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.

small crew up in the hill today with these amazing conditions. snow had a good base which meant we were able to go to the good stuff! @ghouliegarage #getoutside #snow #mountains #goodtimes #neverstopexploring #pnw #washington #wheeling
