“Safety Alert: Dude at 42:24 you came really close to catching your hand in that boom pulley. I was a crane operator and rigger for 43 years. Please be careful never put your hand or body parts in pinch points.

[@georgevindo]

I thought the same thing.

[@ifabforfun]

Especially with gloves on too, you're almost always better off using bare hands because you might feel the danger before it's too late. Gloves can catch in pulleys and drill presses, etc. and then your whole hand follows it in.

[@napoleonhardy]

Yea I flinched it was so close.

[@brianoregon8616]

Yea, holy crap! That was almost a bad time!!

[@coltonthomas443]

Hey thanks for everyone looking out! I have worked in the oil field for 5 years and the coal mine for 11 years and that was a close call! I was quick to pull my hand out as I felt an saw what was happening! In those 15 years of oil field and coal mine I have been injury free! Thanks again for everyone looking out!!

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

Whoa, hold up, in what universe is "I have to put it in 4WD" equal to "stuck"? If Hillbilly puts it in 4WD and STILL can't move, THEN he's stuck.

[@kennethbrown8723]

Once again the Boss hits the nail on the head! Don’t work on your snow cat in the winter!😅

[@kathrynlitchfield7140]

That’s why she’s The Boss. 😉

[@gibsonrocker17]

No surprise he made it as far as he did! The best vehicle I've ever had in the snow was my '06 STI with Blizzaks. It was truly unstoppable and would just plow through snow. I've never even come close to driving anything else through 2.5 feet of snow like I did in that Scoob. The only reason I got stuck was because I backed in my driveway and it jacked up the rear end and sat it up on the underbody. Man, I miss that freakin car! 🤣

[@RedSiBaron]

I feel that, I had an 05 legacy gt with built internals and a deadbolt turbo setup pushing 20lbs of boost. walked modified stis and never once got stuck in feet of snow, just rally blast everywhere sideways. Those things are sooo controllable with a smart right foot in the snow.

[@oliverherrick2189]

The only way my 06 impreza has gotten stuck was being high centered as long as you keep em moving they can go through any dry snow.

[@mezzajk_2218]

same here! had a 06 sti and using the center lock diff was a blast when getting stuck! Best snow car ever!

[@smitty8866]

Usually behind the fog light bezel there is threads to screw in the tow hook that is supplied in the tool kit where the spare tire is in the trunk. I had a 2004 STi for 16 years :)

[@RealRickCox]

This would have been a good job for Whiskers.... you guys gotta get that thing back in service ASAP! :)

[@NW_Mechanic]

Yes there's a tow point in the bumpers, there is a small 2"x2" square panel that pop's off and in the trunk there should be an eye bolt that screws into there.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

That is true for very light duty towing or strapping it down for transport. Those will break or strip out if you try and use them for a recovery or towing very far.

[@nigelgarland5767]

in 42 years road side recovery in the uk never had one break off its what there for.

[@samspade7360]

There's a couple of points behind/below the fronts bumper where you can hook into the frame itself. These are the recommended points on the gen 6 Outbacks, and this looks like a gen 6 WRX.

[@mathewfullerton8577]

​@@nigelgarland5767Done much towing in 10+ inches of snow on mountains? Off road? Doubt it.

[@havinfun44884488]

@34:44 I was laughing so hard when just because Colton used to drive a Subaru, his nickname became SubieNation! And the look on his Colton's face was hilarious. He's a great addition to your crew.

[@Vorgto]

Truck guys hate that my WRX moves around in the snow better than them.

[@Wooooptywoop]

@@VorgtoThe only thing truck guys hate is pulling a wittle subaru out of the snow when they high center… that whole mentality of assuming truck owners dislike subaru is bs. We dont care… hate to burst your ego.

@@Wooooptywoop sounds to me like you care. Otherwise you wouldn't have had to mention pulling Subarus out of the snow and wouldn't have commented. Stay how you are, I like having people to laugh at. Edit: Also I said "My WRX". English is hard, so I understand your confusion.

[@apackadayrc7707]

My impreza has a 3" lift and a inch and a half wheel base stretch to keep the 29" tires outa the doors its a tank in the snow I take it in to the back country to get fire wood and Cruz all over the desert and it never let's me down

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Just a suggestion , it would probably be a good idea to make sure that your chains fit and aren't broken before you head up the mountain...

[@superchiefusn5601]

I liked the tactical retreat, it made perfect sense. Sometimes it's the best plan. Nice job, thanks for sharing. I need some Whiskers videos. 👍

[@schafn]

To be fair to Fred, any small truck with a decent amount of power and good tires is going to out-do a one-ton dually in the snow. Duallies are notoriously bad in the snow since you have four fat tires in the back trying to plow through the deep stuff. Plus Fred probably weighs twice as much as Hillbilly's truck so it wants to sink in rather than float on top. As to getting stuck: We always had two categories for this back in my off-roading days. You were either stuck or you were temporarily immobilized. Stuck is when you need to get outside assistance to get moving again. Temporarily immobilized is when you stop moving, but are able to get back on the trail without getting pulled out. You might have to dig or rock back and forth for a while but if you can get yourself out you're not stuck.

[@sweetdrew9902]

Let's get a build series on that toyota. That things got potential.

[@jaybird4095]

Love the recoveries, I'm always surprised you never put lockers in your recovery equipment.

[@tractorboy31]

I know i want to put a posi in back of my 97 f350. Im around same wieght im guessing. My is a 7.3ps with structural steel 11ft flatbed vs having a 460 with wrecker bed

So happy you all made the good call to come back and enjoy holiday with families first. 👍🥰. BTW Robbie the bungie cord thingies for the tire chains are called “Snubbers”. Keep up with the great videos guys ❤️

[@ScottDLR]

Subaru's "Symmetrical all wheel drive" is a real thing and makes for some interesting viewing if anyone wants to watch some KZbin vids about it.

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Much like where you live, I live in an area that typically gets quite a bit of snow every winter. Once the snow starts flyin, I lock in the hubs and leave them locked in until I know I won't need them. That way I don't have to get out and turn them in if I spin out. Just pull the lever and keep goin. Makes life much easier.

[@88billythekid8]

Makeing a living in Ephrim Utah isn’t easy but you guys are doing it, that right there shows a lot of dedication.

[@MegaRetr]

Hey I like the addition of Colton to the team 😊

[@Atodaso-pg9kq]

The old red XJ is a million times better of a vehicle than the Trekker (Hillbilly’s sentimental value aside for the trekker). Never understood why that thing got parked back in the day and you didn’t put some work into it to keep around as a beater for recoveries.

[@Thecarboardking]

Yea him calling it a “piece of crap” is really just admitting he couldn’t keep up with the maintenance 😭 that’s why he needs Matt to build him a decent rig

[@NW_Mechanic]

Yes, that could be his best recovery vehicle with just a few parts. By adding lockers front & back, the right size wheel & tire combo, small lift kit, a slip yoke eliminator and that thing would be unstoppable and would be able to go anywhere and do anything!

[@Beautifulclouds60]

I was sad they just forgot it. I was hoping for a rebuild of it. Now that I've seen it again, I wonder why they got a different XJ for the Banana clone instead of that one.

[@DB-yj3qc]

Probably since the one Matt and crew are working on is later year model, the red one looked like a 91-92 year.

[@dcampbell4079]

I can’t believe you guys don’t wear polarized sunglasses. 🕶️ 😎 In addition to protecting your eyes and skin, create such definition in everything you’re looking at. Perfect in snowy conditions as well. Once you go polarized, you would never go back.

[@Coolhansolo]

These guys a crazy. No shades, good hat no good coats or goretex ? Baseball hats are not warm I lived I Alaska 18 years. We were dialed even back in the 1990s. Draped in North Face warm to -30°.

@@Coolhansolo They were at +30. Shirt sleeve weather in my world. But polarized sunglasses- definitely. Night blind for 6 weeks after 15 minutes in bright sunlight.

[@JamesSymmonds]

Polarized glasses in those conditions can actually be a bad idea. They get rid of glare but glare is usually the best way of spotting ice.

[@Coolhansolo]

@wssides OH OK I've only camped at -60° in the Alaska Range for a week. Sure glad you know more about cold than I do. Oh wait I've been working outdoors for 30 years too. 🤔

Really appreciate the videos you folks post! Nice to see them so often! Have a blessed 2024!

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Robby, get a couple sets of really good, heavy duty cam lock tire chains. One pair for the front and one for the rear. MUCH cheaper than lockers and you will still be able to go just about anywhere that you should try to go. Edit: If I would have waited about 30 seconds before posting my comment, I would have found out that you found out that you already have chains 🙂

[@iffykidmn8170]

now he just needs chains that fit.

[@ckbhack]

WRX with snows is basically an unstoppable force. Mine would plow snow well over the bumper.

[@jasonblake6641]

I agree with Hillbilly. You’re only stuck if you have to be pulled out. This includes your own winch.

[@randyjones2494]

I could sit here all day and watch you guys play and work up ephraim canyon keep it up team!!!

[@kraigkline4375]

Im voting for posy front and rear on King Fred. My Ford has all 4 tires driving when I lock it in, and I love it.

[@aipo86t]

Driving in snow we have three levels of stuck. 1. Caught - you need to rock it a bit. 2. Stuck you have to get out and dig. 3. Burried - you have to get help.

[@AlWorth9738]

I have to agree with Hillbilly on that first part -- if you're 4x4 can't go anymore in 2WD and it does fine again once it is locked-in, you were never stuck. :)

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

Yes Robbie, an engine can get random condensation in it. If you sit and idle for long period of time, or if you start it and shut it off before it can get to temperature like at a shop pulling it in and out of bays for example every day. Not saying thats what happened to ol Billy of the Hills truck but thats just some examples!! I love the snow i wish i lived where it snows like that!! Snow wheeling is fun as heck plus its beautiful to see the mountains all covered like that!!

Solving problems on the fly as they happen. Matt would be proud. Also, great advice on the call 911 thing. If it is getting dark and you are stuck and don't know what to do call 911 and tell them you are stuck and it is getting dark. This is a life threatening situation, so like Robbie said call the experts. Also make sure you have at least warm clothing, and a blanket in your car in cold weather just in case you break down and have to wait for someone.

FYI, most Subie’s have a tow eye in the spare tire compartment/trunk, it screws into the place up front you were talking about putting a bolt. You can also use the transport loops on the rear of the vehicle(the ones the car transporters use to bind down the cars on the carrier trailer).

That would have left a mark. Though KZbinrs joke about it, attention to safety needs to job one.

As a Colorado native who's been stuck many times in much deeper snow, here's my advice for the kids; A set of tire chains costs less than a single mountain recovery. A lowered car with wide tires is a poor snow vehicle. Don't travel alone. Bring friends who can get out and push.

My thoughts are Snow Skids that can be attached to the front wheels. Carry a low profile jack to lift the front end of the vehicle attach the skids under the wheels. Attach ropes to through the wheel spokes and pull it out from there. I would keep a snow shovel on the truck instead of a regular garden shovel. Put together a snow environment kit and mount it on top of Fred's cab. 'Ready to go for snow recoveries. '

You guys are certifiable. I love this channel!

Like you said Robby, it's folks like the driver of this little Subaru that keep you in the towing business and giving you great content to post for all of us to see. Hopefully they learned a lesson on the limits of offroading WRXs in deep snow! I love Hillbilly's little Toy, but I wonder what he could really do with a full size Ford off road wrecker that he built himself!
