Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5 TD - Climbing Snowy Hill With Amazing Views

When I started the trail, it was already late, so I didn't reach the top because the sun was already setting and I was alone. I didn't want to risk it because it got steeper and snowier as I climbed towards the top. But the scenery was amazing and I really enjoyed it.

Oh wow. The contrast in the colors was beautiful. That was a great shot of your Jeep on the hill top.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thank you Wyatt. It was a really enjoyable ride.

[@wojtasmax]

Nice drive. Scenic. Nothing beats the white powder everywhere!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

It's not some tough off road or something, this is a ride to enjoy. I'm sorry I didn't start earlier to try to reach the top. At the top, the view is incredible.

[@wojtasmax]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar good enough for me!

[@TopDjir]

Pametno 😁 Kad si sam dovoljno i ovoliko, da osetiš sneg pod točkovima po lepom danu 😁

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Slažem se. Da sam se slučajno trebao vitlati, grdo bi se iznenadio. Prije dva dana sam išao izvlačiti traktor i krenem sa vitlom i ništa se ne dešava. Pogledam van i vidim uže na tlu. Prošli put sam napravio grešku, vitlao sam se i trebao sam doći dosta blizu stabla. Oko stabla je bila debela gurtna i kuka je došla do kraja, a ja nisam odmah zaustavio vitlo. Pravi test za vitlo i nosač vitla, ali uže se otkvačilo. Sve u svemu, dobro je prošlo. 😁

A Winter Wonderland! Beautiful drive!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@onefastcyclist]

What a lovely stroll through a winter wonderland! Your SST Pro tires grip very well here too 👍And I agree - often it wiser to turn around.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

If I had started earlier, I would probably have continued to the top because the view up there is phenomenal. I was also surprised about the tires. I deflated them to 18, 19 psi and they were great in the snow for MT tires.

[@kubamurzynny]

Amazing views! Wonderful trip!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! I enjoyed this ride.

[@Antropologopt]

Cool video. Such a beautiful scenery!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Snow, sun in the afternoon and it turned out great. I enjoyed it, I only regret that I didn't start earlier to reach the top.

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

Jealous. Still waiting for snow here. 😎

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

You don't need to be jealous, this is the first snow in the last few years. It's not that it isn't there, but I have a hard time finding the time.

[@sandorspalms]

Great video my friend and beautiful scenery with the snow! Hope your doing well 👍😁

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thank you very much. How you doing? No video from you in a while?

[@sandorspalms]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Everything going well just very busy with work. I did upload a video yesterday 👍😁

Kako ti se pokazao ovaj dzip da je mehanicki kvalitetan kakav je sto se tice snage za sume i sl...

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Dva takva su u obitelji i zadovoljni smo. Tu i tamo kakva sitnica, ipak je to staro, ali ništa da bi ostao na cesti. Problem je s ovim motorima su samo vlasnici prije. Poznati su po pucanju glava (svaki cilindar ima svoju glavu) pa ljudi to vare, promijene samo jednu itd. Kad se to jednom desi, promijeniš sve 4 i onda si siguran.

[@filipdevcic]

Jel to voznja od proslog vikenda?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Je! Konačno da sam ulovio vremena i snijega u isto vrijeme. 🙂

[@filipdevcic]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Proslu nedelju sam bio, predobro je kad ima snjega

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@@filipdevcic mene je vrijeme stisnulo pa sam se vratio. Ja sam isto bio u nedjelju od Goljaka prema Tihočaju. Kad si bio? Još nije bilo nikakvih tragova kad sam išao ili si s druge strane dolazio?

Rano ujutro sam bio, glažuta-hartje. S druga strane, sve friski snjeg 😊
