Deep Snow Off Roading in Classic Ford Trucks | Ford Era

Hey All, In this episode we are out in Checkerboard, Montana area. I flew out to meet up with Wes Nelson @Big.Red.Ford to go for an off-roading adventure in his monstrous slick side. Its sitting on 42" Super Swampers with a massive 545ci Big Block Ford. We had such a fun time out there.

[@edwardfast4525]

Need to do a video on Big red and the Broncos to tell what everyone is running (motor,trans,axles ect.)

[@FordEra]

I wanted to but we ran out of time, next time

[@keithsherman8345]

The Fords are my favorite!

[@danderson9881]

Big Red, both Broncos, and of course the F250!

[@FordEra]

[@nickefgen9219]

Great video thank you for posting it, I really liked the red truck you where riding in I liked the two broncos that where there also I have a 1970 bronco that I’ve had for 28 years

[@coopdoesit7442]

As always great content brother, you'll find out that the off road aspect of the automotive world is always more enjoyable!!

[@FordEra]

Most definitely!

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Awesome time off roading in the deep snow

[@FordEra]

It sure was

[@danderson9881]

that takes some skill!

[@richr909]

Love that green Bronco!!

[@markkelly8714]

I would like to see more of that 79 bronco and pickup.

[@FordEra]

for now this is it, but its not my last visit

[@michaelmeyer1914]

I really liked your video, and have always loved old Fords. Snow wheeling is great, and the mix of classic iron against the white background is so cool. It looked like a fun group the wheel with. Thanks for posting.

[@FordEra]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshthompson-orville]

Miss you Wes I should have been there but I twisted my drive line and couldn't get it going in Time would have loved to meet our Solam🎉an

[@robspangler3493]

That Chevy powered 'runner sure did spend a lot of time towing fords around, nothing new there 😂

[@eMotoAZ]

Awesome trucks Audio is from the 70's

[@Wyoboy7220]

Awesome video, broncos and that 70's ford are bad ass!

[@ponypwr]

Lockers front and rear sure help! Heavy rig with big power on big boggers in deep snow does not mean floor it every time lol.

[@FordEra]

They did have air lockers but dont like to keep them engaged. the fella in the bronco's foot is made from lead haha

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

👍 liked the green and white long bed. Wish you would have slowed down on the trails, it was so nice on the trails only you were speeding up the film, to dang much. Other than that all was great! 😁🙋‍♀️

[@FordEra]

I was torn on too fast or too slow, i figured ill speed it up because you can always slow it down on the youtube player

[@GiveMeYourNachosButthead]

I’m a year late, but damn man.. what a great trip with some amazing rigs burning down the trail! I love snow wheeling x100. Such a blast. And that blue International crew-cab is sick!! Love seeing them ol’ I.H’s from the 50s-70s still chugging along... of course with ol Fords, lol..

[@user-yi7dd3kp5h]

Damn, I miss 4Wheelin, or as we call it in my part of Virginia, "diggin" LOL! Looks like so much fun!

[@Threewolfs-]

You got “made” skills with that drone, great shots. 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠

[@FordEra]

Thanks brother

[@Threewolfs-]

Sorry, auto correct 👎🏼, supposed to be “MAD” Skills 😝😜😂🤣, 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠

[@HarrySituations]

Looks like a perfect day!

[@FordEra]

[@RCJesus420]

LOVE that green and white Bronco!!! That Kaase engine sounds so BA! Broncos love to jump. 😁 I hope we get a What The Truck on that one too.

[@FordEra]

[@rickyringel1562]

[@brucebuechele8493]

My favorite was the stepside!!

[@FordEra]

its so so awesome

[@Wreck6987]

Great to see a video pop up with Wes. Rip

[@johngray9702]

Awesome video thanks.

[@jasoncampbell4723]

They were all nice rigs but that 65’ is sweet!!! I’m a sucker for that body style as I own 3 of them currently.

[@MontanaDirtRoads]

Sad that Wes has passed on but the truck will continue to be a local legend

[@joshthompson-orville]

His daughter is rebuilding it. They should put it on utub for sure

[@Rockhead75]

Macen here you better come next year I'll have 150 more hp and fresh cut tires !! Lots of ideas to make another epic video thanks for coming !!

[@FordEra]

dont threaten me with a good time

[@Rockhead75]

@@FordEra you made our weekend awesome !

[@FordEra]

@@Rockhead75 actually that was Windsor, she was the best

[@7080nik]

Man, I love the Bronco! I think they are one of the sharpest trucks ever made. I'm bias because I have one. 78 XLT I've owned for 42 years. Kind of a rare one with a bench seat. Black with red interior. 33" BFG tires. Was beautiful for most of those years but, Michigan has taken a toll on the body. I'm planning a total restore and also plan to have a John Kaase 500+ inch Ford, air lockers with just a 4 inch lift and 36 inch tires.

[@joshthompson-orville]

He rolled it at a mud race and now is rebuilding it from.weses predecessor Macen Barmore

[@stevengamsby8376]

Great video only bad part was I wasn’t there with my M880 witch is a Dodge W-100 power wagon with Dana 60’s front and rear with air lockers and my 875 hp 440 keep them coming Retired US Army Sargent Major Gamsby

[@michaelkienhofer6394]

Excellent Adventure!!

[@FordEra]

thanks for watching

[@angelbernes740]

Nice rigs!!

[@meric-bo-olson2115]

Sweet video!

[@oldhawkins]

R.i.P. Wes Nelson.

[@jeffclark4008]

F'ing sweet. I'm not sure where you guys are, but it damn sure isn't Northern KY, if it was, I would join you in my beautiful 78 bronco.

[@alvaradotowing23]

Definitely need Matt’s Off Road Kinetic Rope

[@mikeswartz3146]

Big red has best snow and mud tires, best power for all these varied terrains. Also probably best pulling power. Trail Blaser us over powered and not getting good traction with those tires and traction adjustment and parts.

[@RichardFredrickson]

Dope

[@dundeeecroc]

Beautiful TRUCKS!!!!! I love this video!! great job!! I am a fan of vintage classics !! I have a 1985 Toyota 4runner on 35's with 22re 5 speed. I wish I could join y'all!!

[@dundeeecroc]

is that red Ford a 1963"

[@FordEra]

Right on!

[@littlefarmer32]

Good times Offroad

[@jobisrael8313]

👍👍 42:01 on the big jumps. 11-04-23

[@simonsays5979]

Gosh damn I miss my 78 bronco so much

[@juliojames5986]

Get lockers and proper tires. Dump the combine ! I have had two, just money pits. 👍🏻

[@ThatOneKidd45th]

*I got myself a 1964 F100 stepside but it has no lift kit in it and it is a short bed!*

[@captainwyattoutdoors1636]

good video!

[@FordEra]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SledgeFoot]

The Binder has an auto trans, otherwise why not pull start instead of towing it out? Maybe more info on the drivetrains and mods of all the rigs?

[@oldman454]

I had a 1959 Ford f250 highboy step side bed that would climb a brick wall in low lock four-wheel drive I could get out of the vehicle and walk beside it that's how low it would go I could not get it stuck

[@donaldhalls2189]

We used to use motor bike jumps at the salt pan's out of Adelaide now all closed down because some idiot killed a guy by rolling it with the other bloke in the back of the ute (small truck) now it's closed to everyone

[@FordEra]

That’s so frustrating

[@MegaTraxxas]

I thought these trucks are some models like traxxas or axial 😅

[@FordEra]

These are the real deal haha

[@eddyshook5930]

Not sure if it was mentioned and I missed it but what model is that older ford/ are those stock fenders? Looking to upgrade my 65 f100 to fit larger tires

[@corygene6477]

Are there any videos on the big red build? I'm curious how he did his steering set up. Thanks

[@oldhawkins]

Big Red is currently being frame off restored by Wes's Widow and daughter. If my memory serves me it had a 79 f350 4x4 steering box conversion.

[@Hammer1978]

Are you wheeling in Montana?

[@vulcanisadocasco476]

Están chidas

[@tomh6779]

Hey! Can someone help me with my 95 5.8 liter bronco? It has four shocks on the front but man this truck beats me up off road. Any advice? It’s seems stiff. It has a four inch lift.

[@clementehuitron3083]

Is crazy how Americans used imports but jet use American prts to makem reliable is like they don't have pride in their own

[@saimhaim]

The hat and the glasses, I'm done.

[@davidmcginnis2075]

Snow's not that deep.

[@FordEra]

ok

[@Pure_Ent253]

This an excuse to be gay for a day?

[@ricktaylor3748]

When you're talking about Ford trucks. The word "stuck" should come first, they just won't go in deep snow, or on wet ground. What junk.

[@wielbarkculture4705]

Какой это кайф просто родиться американцем.
