It looks like ya all had fun out thee. Just a tip from a old snow wheeler , you need to air down till you have a good buldge in your tires. This will give you at LEAST a 600% increase in traction. I can't say a set pressure for those car tires, but start at 15 psi, and go down 2 psi at a time till you can move without spinning. My jeep on 35 MTZ's the best is 4 psi for really deep and wet snow ,as in over the hood deep. My GMC Xcab full size on 46 mickey's run at 2 psi for the best traction, 4psi for snow like you encountered and dry off road travel. One locker in the back is always the second upgrade after tires, it is needed for stuff like this trip to keep at least one tire with grip moving forward. There is much less spinning and chance of breaking stuff like axels when a spinning tire finally gets grip. Have fun out there and stay safe. CHEERS Steve h.

[@GeefromBC]

Thank you so much Steve for the tip. For your full size GMC, did you have beadlocks to get it that low? Regarding the 4 psi down, did you mean go down 4 psi from 15 psi or start at 4 psi? I’m still learning more about proper tire pressures for snow wheeling and I truly appreciate your help.

[@1sheinz]

On my full size I did have Staun double beadlocks, but my jeep has normal rims and I do go to 4 when needed. But you have to be gentle on the steering wheel and not slide into a log or rock sidways as you will blow a bead. Not a problem if you have a jack and a good air pump. But start at 19 then go to 17 15 13 11 watching your tire bulge as you go. Without bead locks your pretty safe down to 10, and be careful and fill up to 10 after the worst is over. Its OK to have one crease in the side wall at low pressure without a beadlock but 2 creases with a bead lock will give max floatation and max grip. This works best with tires that have a bit of sidewall tread.

[@GeefromBC]

@@1sheinz Oh okay got you. Yeah for my full size when I took it out (the one on the video) I only had it at 25 so definitely will lower it down to 19 first when I go back out in the snow. I don't have any beadlocks for my rig so I think I'll go down to 19 and see how it feels when I drive it up. Thank you so much for the tip Steve. I appreciate it man.

Gives me encouragement seeing other Outlanders outlandering

[@007vasho]

Nice video - love the mitsu outlander

[@GeefromBC]

Thanks for checking out the video! Will let my buddy know 👍🏽

[@Joricano]

Very cool..sama sana ako kung nasa States kayo

[@GeefromBC]

Thanks man! Hopefully when the border opens in the future. I’d love to come down and check out some spots in the States 👍🏽

[@joshuaflores5992]

I love what you did to your outlander. Id like to do these upgrades. Anyway you could send me a list of the upgrades?

[@GeefromBC]

Not my outlander but he actually didn’t upgrade much other than A/T tires

[@OverlandPNW]

My first time on your channel. Found it because I am working on a snow wheeling video. Your channel is 100% my kind of stuff. I clicked all the right buttons. That was a sketchy hill climb...no traction ha ! Love it ! Keep the cool vids coming !

[@GeefromBC]

Oh that’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah it was especially for my buddy since his outlander wasn’t lifted and yeah didn’t help the fact that he didn’t have traction lol. Thank you so much for your kind words. I actually have a few new videos on my channel if you’re interested in checking them out. Cheers!

[@TheKonakairay]

I’m going to be lifting(adf 1.5 “) my 16” outlander and getting some wild peaks 235/60/18 on soon (adding some inches) also some 1 “ wheel spacers. So nice to see what it could do stock.

[@GeefromBC]

Nice man

[@otimaldo]

What wheels and tire specs are on the outlander.?

[@GeefromBC]

My buddy said it’s 235/70/R16 Wildpeak AT3W

[@alfaweinberg8245]

Outlander is the best of these 换个轮胎能跟上这几位大哥 很不错了

[@mistermongz51213]

nice .... looked like a good time.

[@GeefromBC]

Yeah bro it was. Hope to see you on the trails soon ✌🏽

[@WeekendWarrior604]

Jealous! Looks like fun bro 👍

[@GeefromBC]

Haha yeah it was bro. Jones is a nice place.

[@FORD150-5.4]

F150 5.4 very capable strong 4×4 💪🦍

[@GeefromBC]

Yeah it did pretty good

[@ItsCleto]

Does the Outlander have a lift or just larger tires? And what kind of tires are they? I've been looking into a 40mm lift for my '17 but if I can get away with just tires that'd be great.

[@GeefromBC]

Hey man. My buddy has a level (I’m assuming 2” lift) on his outlander to fit 235/70/R16. I guess it depends on what you’re going to be using the vehicle for cause my buddy now has another vehicle just for 4x4.

[@kathy19827]

Traction boards really help dudes ;)

[@GeefromBC]

Haha I had some but buddy in the outlander was determine to go up without lol 😂

[@kathy19827]

Kwawa ang transmission pero masaya🙂

[@GeefromBC]

@@kathy19827 Yeah kaya na pa bili nang pang off-road vehicle ang kaibigan ko. Sorry hope I wrote it write. Not very good at writing Tagalog lol

[@lilpeppa117G]

That must be the cvt outlander or since he did something to the mf it lost power

[@GeefromBC]

Haha honestly he was pushing it pretty hard. The snow was that icy type of snow so that engine was working hard.

[@FORD150-5.4]

The awd guys has problems now you can see the diferent between 4×4 full time and Awd vehicles....4×4 💪💪🦍

[@GeefromBC]

Yeah 4x4 is definitely a lot better for off-road terrains but awd are still pretty good for more of soft-roading style of driving

[@FORD150-5.4]

@@GeefromBC I agree 👍 💯

[@hater4244]

what kind of tires are you running on your f150

[@GeefromBC]

I run BF Goodridge KO2s

[@franka8318]

Time for a Montero haha or atleast something with a transfer case and low range.

[@GeefromBC]

Haha I think so too 😂

[@4xhoser]

Was this 2020? What tire pressures did yall run

[@GeefromBC]

Yes this was in 2020. I just went down to about 25 psi. Probably won’t need to drop down if you are just planning on driving on the FSR 👍🏽

[@punkeyengineer]

Is this a cvt ? I get worried when i think of taking mine offroad as it may damage the belt what you think

[@johnguevarra228]

looks fun. question do you have lockers ?

[@GeefromBC]

Yeah man it was fun. I don’t have lockers. Didn’t need it really for the snow I went to in the video but recovery gears is a must though. I think lockers are more meant for off camber rock crawling and/or a steep hill climb on dirt/mud. Only on occasion you might need to use it with very deep snow but you can always use Max tracks (traction pads). Hope that helped man 👍🏽

[@johnguevarra228]

@@GeefromBC thank you really appreciate kuys. haha i have 04 fx4. first time trying 4x4ing.

[@GeefromBC]

Haha no problem. Nice just go out there and explore man 👍🏽

[@ryanhaines7682]

Outlander would be good with a 3.0 v6..but the 2.4 cvt really failed it

[@GeefromBC]

Yeah the AWD wasn’t engaging properly and was overheating. All good though he has new rig used mainly for sending it lol 😂

[@menkz]

Thats a 3.0, but unfortunately, it overheated and went limp mode + disengaged SAWC to avoid any damage. It needs a better Trans cooler apparently... will send it again soon 😆

[@omarcorrea2500]

@@menkz what type of wheels are those ?

[@menkz]

@@omarcorrea2500 vision 16 x 8 0 offset

[@pastorcruz202]

What size tire for the outlander do uou need to lift it or stock

[@GeefromBC]

He’s running 235/70/R16 Falken Wildpeak A/T and I believe he only has a level.

[@gogeleo]

@@GeefromBC what is the wheels and the wheel specs please?

[@GeefromBC]

@@gogeleo Hey man. For which vehicle? If it’s the Outlander look up to my reply above. If It’s for my truck in this video I had 33” BFG KO2 on 17” HD F240 Wheels
