First Snow Run In The Big Bad FJ40!

[@abpsd73]

Nope, not bored watching you build rigs. That snow with a crust and grainy powder underneath is a challenge for any vehicle. Years ago I went on a winter ATV trip with some friends. We hit a clearing with that kind of snow and probably spent an hour digging and winching each other out. Once you were out of it, you'd drop through the crust again.

[@austinniemela]

Yes that's exactly how our snow was! Everyone was having issues!

[@ChrisAdams-hn2ih]

Best thing about playing in the snow ? Clean b4 and still clean after.

[@MattTheBeegBrain]

There are two philosophies for snow wheeling. You either want to be super light with lots of flotation and supper aggressive tires. Or you want to be heavy enough with thinner tires so you can eat through to the solid ground below and bite into the dirt inorder to bulldoze through it.

[@brandonvandulken3718]

Don’t get discouraged by how it did or some of these silly comments. That snow looked like absolute sugar and would eat up the best of them regardless of weight/tire size.

[@abpsd73]

Agreed, I've encountered that kind of snow with an ATV and spent a lot of time stuck.

[@dylansnively5516]

Might’ve missed what psi you were running but airing down more could help. But she is sweeet!

[@Z-Bart]

4

[@rexburg22re]

Video looks like 20psi, not 4psi.

[@SpringdaleJim]

May make a nice rock climber, but I'm afraid it's a bit too heavy for deep snow. But it sure looked good trying.

[@clayfist4033]

I think you need to put 44s on it and put the tires all set outward a little bit that’ll give you on top of the snow a lot easier and I’ll give you more tire to flute that vehicle over top of the snow but the super swappers buggers were good. I love them tires never had a problem with the big 44s on the vehiclevideo. Can’t wait to see your next video. Thank you. You’re awesome.

[@MrDan1509]

Set of Gumbos or PitBulls!

[@rosendofj40bigblock7]

Looks like fun, Can’t wait to see the over the hood snow trip ,

[@ericlake6462]

Never get bored with your videos, thanks for everything. Can't wait to see the new build!

[@johnnycashh7148]

Back in the day I used to run chains on the front of my Chev. Never played with the air...did it do better with lower pressure? Looked like a fun time! 🍻

[@lukaspauzuolis6099]

Go down to like 2-1 psi. Thats what we use in Iceland on 40" coopers 😊

[@AJ29430]

I reckon a tire rethink might work, it was a lot of snow, car looks great

[@douggrunberg]

Thanks!! That's awesome little rig!

[@brandonboulton2776]

Great rig man 👍

[@jmaxim80]

Weight of the vehicle is so important when it comes to 4-wheeling. Beautiful rigs out there ripping it up. Get ahold of Jared from questionable garage.

[@Quebecer_Powerstroke]

Damn this thing is sick Austin !!! Look so much fun !

[@petar443]

Shorten the rear axle and make it a dually. I think it will be better in the snow.

[@dadstoygarage1878]

Looks like fun in the snow. I a local guy tuned our race car and did a good job on it his shop is Border City Performance in Morden Manitoba. I think he has done a lot with LS motors. I sent him a text to see if he does remote tuning.

[@bake162]

V bar quick cam lock tire chains on the front when the going gets tough, all 4’s when it gets ugly….. before your stuck

[@joesobaski1966]

You all are havin too much fun! Love it!

[@GroupWar]

I enjoyed you video, your truck rocks! .. have you connect the VSS to the engine's ECU? .. I had a similar issue with my LS1 equipped '79 FJ40 and once I installed a VSS sensor to my stock H55F trans and made the ECU be able to read the speed the problem solved, it wont die again when I coast down to stop.

[@austinniemela]

Yes vss in wired to the ecu, tuner verified my speedometer and its perfect! He thinks its big cam issues

[@d.collier_8280]

Dude, don’t ever get rid of that FJ. Keep as long as you can. That’s a hellava rig.

[@StormbornJKU]

Still waiting to see how well it does rock crawling!

[@Aks517-yn5yt]

wow.. you guys are amazing, my friends, I can only gasp in amazement, I want to go there but unfortunately I'm far away in Indonesia,

[@731trident]

Austin, this vehicle is your spirit animal; just maybe not a snow leopard (which is fine).

[@HernanMartinez-n8l]

Snow or mud I like both and the fj

[@chasemcmurray3737]

Do a build on that ford f350. That would be sick.

[@Mr_Ruhl]

You could contact Black Bear Performance and see if they can do anything for your setup. I have a truck tuned by them that runs like a champ and is the same 5.3L\4L60e combo as you have here.

[@nest_of_limbs]

God this would be so much fun. Just exploring with the boys. Can’t wait to finish my truck.

[@isairomero89]

She's putting in work!!!

[@SeverinoGalbinez-yf6te]

VERY NICE POWERFULL LAND CRUISER J 40.OFFROAD...

[@Dirtywheelerproductions]

That was terrible snow conditions tho. Very dry and powdery

[@tradeMark182]

[@fasttimez9651]

Beast Mode !!!!!

[@wimspies8858]

Nice 😍

[@Zakwildlife]

Sick !

[@evan_mart5314]

You should invest in the DJI osmo pocket 3, quality is insane and it has stabilizers so you can mount to the car for nice driving shots

[@drematicxl1788]

so dope...

[@joerouth6255]

That thing easily weights closer to 6000lbs

[@mooito4113]

супер 🙌

[@Grams-t5g]

Mine tune is the same let off gas coming down to idle and it dies🤔

[@norcoredneck]

Air down.

[@joesobaski1966]

If you don’t get stuck are you even trying?

[@asgrimurbenjaminsson5323]

keep your tires low on air

[@SootyDiesel81]

Portals next?

[@davefury66]

😎👍🏻☺️😲🤔😓😂🔥💯🤘🏻🍻

[@sajidtipu5333]
