Snow Driving Fun in a Jeep JL Wrangler 2 Door Sport Bone Stock and with Street Tires

It's always nice to get some snow over the holidays and although it wasn't a ton, it was plenty enough for Cindy and I to take Pippi, our bone stock Jeep JL Wrangler 2-Door Sport, out for her very first time in the white stuff. Of course, we've been eager to see how she would do, especially being that she still running a set of street tires and while it isn't anything too special or amazing, this video will show you how she did on iced over roads, in 2WD and playing on some slippery trails down the street from us in 4WD.

Glad you enjoyed seeing this!

There is a reason these vehicles have the highest resale value in North America.

As an owner of a 2dr manual sport Wrangler in the North East and in the winter, I surely enjoyed and appreciated your video. Thank you for all you do!

Awesome! We're so glad to hear it 😎

So glad you enjoy seeing Pippi 😎

Love how you’re showing the capability of a bone stock jeep. I sure do catch a lot of grief from people because I’m leaving my Rubicon stock. It gets me everywhere I want to go and a lot of places I definitely don’t need to go! 💪🏻

[@wayalife]

That's awesome and so glad to hear you enjoy our Pippi coverage 😎

[@DUNEATV]

@@wayalife It’s my favorite Jeep you own! 2dr!

[@golferpro1241]

I have a Sahara, it’s stock but I powder coated the rims…added K02’s and a winch. I have no reason to do anything else. It gets complimented all the time! It’s a 2016 Unlimited..Hydro Blue.

I was able to drive my 2 door stock Jeep JL wrangler through 3 feet of snow about 100 feet in Saskatchewan. I have blizzaks. It was the first time I put any vehicle manually in 4WD. Lol. Best day ever!! 💓 my jeep! It had snowed heavily and I had to drive out of it. Snow everywhere. ❄️

[@frankkownacki1364]

When I got my first Jeep Wrangler in 1994 the stock tires were 205/75/15 and I went through my first Midwest winter with them. Even on those mail truck tires I never got stuck and the Jeep took on the snow like a champ. It was then that I vowed to always have a Jeep.

[@wayalife]

Awesome!

[@SkandaTejasw]

I've been watching your videos for a few days now, but I am already hooked. I am grateful for the effort you both put in to bring content like this to us. Specifically, the way you focus on a stock Jeep - that is not only more widely useful, but also down to earth and charming in the sense of delighting in the small pleasures of life. Thank you, and please continue to make these lovely videos for us, specifically about Pippi!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're truly humbled by your kind words and so happy to hear you enjoy our videos.

[@calsurflance5598]

The base stock Wrangler is perfect!👌 Love the Steel wheels.( they are tougher) I would even prefer manual windows. (They are easier on the window mechanism) The original WW2 Army jeeps we’re bare bones, and they made the brand! Thanks for showing what a real Jeep can do, without $25,000 in upgrades. Nicely done!👍

[@jaycrane761]

I love that you still have a bone stock Jeep that you use for a few fun trips! Plus driving a one stock Jeep in snow and on trails will help hone your driving skills and makes it better in the built beast’s you have. Well that’s how I feel about it thank you love the dog always a happy pup!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! So glad that you enjoy seeing us taking out Pippi and that you like Ripley too 😎

[@allenyowell356]

Back in the mid to late 90’s, I was stationed in Va Beach, Va. I had my 1st TJ and we got a really bad snow storm that shut the entire area down. Me and some of my shipmates decided to grab a case of beer and do donuts on the main roads. Good times. Dumb. But fun…

LOL - awesome 😁

Nice snow pictures. It dose not show much here in the south but it did show 4 inches this week. They are vary good in snow if you use good sense.

Another video that solidifies my decision on a stock JL. I've done some modifications but through your Pippy vids, I'm certain I made the right choice in model for the type of off roading I/we do. Thanks again for all your informative vids.

Awesome! So glad to hear you find our videos to be informative 😎

[@DC-ok6bk]

Thanks for the footage of your pup playing (bounding) in the snow. Our current 2 boarders have never been in the snow, yet former ones who experienced life in the upper Midwest would hop too. Almost fox like in their approach! Oh, good 4WD content too.

[@DC-ok6bk]

One afterthought, the next time a snowstorm approaches, try throwing a few of her favorite bones out in the yard for her to hunt for. I bet she will locate them all once she gets the game.

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley in the snow and yes, like a fox. Thanks for the tip too!

[@GODofORCS]

That was about the same amount we just got in central illinois so much fun.

[@tharding2870]

Great video. Basic fun and Chill. 👍You know this already. As a suggestion from someone who drives in hardcore winter conditions for months at a time . . . the main threat to driving safety is not really snow . . . its ice (especially freezing rain). Lots of ice. Ice on the road. Ice on your vehicle. Ice that is formed when many vehicles compress snow down over and over as they pass by. Ice under a thin layer of water as the temperature fluctuates around the freezing point. Ice that robs you of your ability to stop safely. That's where a good set of ice radials become essential. Like Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin X-Ice for starters. All season tires are really just 3 season tires here in the cold and wet northeast. As you so often wisely recommend . . . being well prepared for your local conditions is always the best course for safety and peace of mind. Cheers !

Heck yeah! Looks like fun!

I absolutely love an early start to a snow day here on Toronto. Nothing like laying first tracks in the white stuff. Mind you this is in a RWD sedan with snow tires...it's still on my top 5 favorite things in life.

[@GoldenGateSeekers]

That smile 😂

[@utahyork3338]

Back in high school I remember learning to drive in the snow with my CJ-5. Slow on the corners to keep from spinning like a top - no traction control back then.

[@wayalife]

It's a funny thing but for me personally, that's how I prefer it. 👍

[@cristopherflores6195]

[@herbertmischel3165]

Love the bone stock videos. In my case, I was doing some mountain driving where the stock tires just were not up to the task. Also legally I had to have triple peak rated tires or chains. I went with the Duratracs and they do seem to have a lot more grip. I saved my stock tires and will swap them back on when the weather gets a little warmer. Keep making these awesome stock videos!

[@wayalife]

Duratracs are great tires in the snow for sure. Glad you enjoy seeing our Pippi videos.

[@russluck4290]

All around great video work! So many different camera variations and angles, that's a lot of work. The music was nice and not overwhelming, it was simply enjoyable to watch. Fantastic work!

[@chriscon8463]

Looks like fun! ‘18 JLU Sport here with V6/6M trans. I’ve found the set of Michelin take-offs I got work better in the snow than my AT Wranglers. I just run those in the summer! Your dog looked like he was having as much fun in the snow as your Jeep!

[@wayalife]

They are surprisingly good tires on the slick stuff.

[@JGMan0011]

Yes, many years ago I had a set of the Michelin ATXs on a used '99 RAM 4x4 truck I got and thought they weren't aggressive enough but they proved to be awesome in the snow, so I never changed them. The new OEM JL Michelin tire tread pattern (I saw on a Sport in the dealer showroom) looked almost identical to my old Michelins to me. I ordered a JL 2dr Sport with street tires as well, and I hope it comes with Michelins vs Bridgestones, but they only tell you size when you order - who knows what brand they'll have that day when they're building my wheels? However, the Wrangler tire new-takeoff market is crazy plentiful on the internet, and the supply vs demand makes them very cheap!

[@astro143_]

Thats exactly the kind of trail I would love to take my Jeep on. I have a Patriot right now, but I am looking at the JL. Awesome video!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad we could share this with you :)
