We Rescue A Jeep Stuck 12 Hours In A Snowdrift

[@glock19gen3]

Winter time: ALWAYS carry a shovel. Clothes. Food/water. A shovel can get you out of a lot ( ask me how I know lol)

[@jdhall420]

I was fishing once in my kayak, somehow managed to lose my paddle but i had this tiny little shovel i used to dig banks for worms as i went along, That shovel allowed me to paddle about 3 miles upstream back to my Jeep so i agree 100% a shovel can get you out of a lot of situations

[@DirtySlapper99]

Im in Australia and same rules here and NEVER leave your vehicle

[@xToddmcx]

Meanwhile Matt doesn't even bring a jacket.

[@seniorrider9337]

Many years ago I put together a survival tote to carry in the trunk all the time. In the PNW, you never know what the weather can throw at you and with the traffic situation as it is, you never know when you could be sitting in a miles long parking lot for hours. Water, energy bars, paper towels, blankets, flashlights, reading material, etc. I also threw an empty backpack just in case I need to walk away from the car. Transfer everything into the backpack and you have something to help you out. I have never had to use it, but it sure gives me peace of mind. It always amazes me that people go where they do with no thought of "what if". No water at all and you are driving into a desert sandy area? Wow!

There should be a rule that anything with the word "Jeep" on it has to have recovery points.

[@larrythompson8630]

I think any AWD, 4WD should. Because AWD/4WD means you can get it stuck wirse then most 2wds. Question. Why are some pulls they put staff behind the wheel? Others the owner? I have seen them pull the owner (who seems to know how) to put their person in. This gal wasn’t seeming off road capable... they had her drive?. I have food, water in car (winter gear) going 20 miles to town. We go up in mountains. Staying overnight shouldn’t be a issue. We have 2 liters of water when unloading. (If above freezing it stays in)

[@TheHolan]

WHY? jeeps never get stuck.

[@ShukenFlash]

I tried helping a Blazer who got stuck in the snow yesterday. We saw the wind blow him just far enough to hit the soft shoulder and swerve off into the ditch, completely high centered. Unfortunately my hitch shackle turned out to not be in the car so I couldn't use my kinetic rope, and I couldn't get him out with just a strap. Got him back about 18" but that was all she wrote. Can't wait for my Matt's Rope and soft shackle to arrive, got the shipping notification that afternoon, haha. Next time I'll be able to get them the few feet farther to reach the pavement (Also, be EXTREMELY careful helping people in blizzard conditions, if that doesn't go without saying. It doesn't do much good to stop to help if someone hits you. We do utility work so we had lights, hi-vis vests, etc and I had my partner watching for/directing traffic while we attempted to get him unstuck. If you not positive you can help safely just leave it to the professionals like Matt.)

Watch those ruts Matt. Back in the late 70's I had a lifted 3/4 ton pickup. In fresh snow it would go thru a lot. When I found people stuck out on drifted roads I would pull up to them on the deep side to see if they wanted help. I am older now and like to think I have matured. Those days sure were fun though.

[@Krukkann96]

Matt! when you get to the snow like this, lower your tyre pressure down to 8psi! and thats the max psi you go when you're driving on snow, i myself do alot of snow / glacier driving, we're doing 2psi, bad times we're going 0.5-1psi .. hope this helps! (not trying to be THAT guy) keep em going!

[@dgmills5351]

It's a good thing you had a good backup for the "rescue" vehicle! Lol. Those girls had to be almost popsicles sitting there for 12 hours.

[@gungadinn]

Living in what we on the east coast call mountains, I carry snow chains. Even a two wheel drive pickup truck with chains can get out of a foot of snow. A winter vehicle kit consisting of a heavy coat, wool blanket, a Mylar space blanket, first aid kit, toilet paper and plastic bags, shovel, a long handle snow scrapper, and a piece of carpet will make -20 below zero temperatures livable. Storing water inside a vehicle usually ends up with a bottle of ice or empty bottles that melted then soaked whatever they were around.

That Lexus LX570 has a hydraulic suspension and a crawl system that should be used before everything

[@8oliverraymond]

Yes, the driver seemed to not know how to use all the features. If he would have put it in 4low and activated crawl control, the suspension would go into extra high mode and potentially un-high center the vehicle. Crawl control would then shake the vehicle out of that situation.

[@8oliverraymond]

@@devilselbow Standard on the LX570 which is the Lexus version of the Toyota 200 series Land Cruiser. The Lexus comes with Active Height Control hydropneumatic suspension which can raise and lower ~ +/- 3" from normal ride height. You can't get this on the Land Cruiser version in the USA.

[@45678ret]

they were really buried and their tires did not look very off road capable with the massive rims, so I doubt even if they raised the suspension that it would have gotten them out. Haven't tried a crawl control system in sand though, would be an interesting test.

Now I can actually get this Friday going! I got the video Ive been waiting for! Keep it up guys, lovin it

[@wesleemiller]

Great video.

[@davidblack1170]

So before digging a hole with your tires do this instead: The wheels that are stuck are the ones not turning. Equalize the traction between all the wheels creating all wheel drive by pressing lightly on the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time. This negates the slip differential thus equalizing the traction - not one wheel pulling in the front and one in the back. Got that from a 1947 MJ Jeep manual on tips and tricks for four wheel drive problems.

I think the problem in the dunes was they were high centered already and Matt was to far below them pulling down instead of forward making it more difficult, but still a success. Matt I think you should have a narrower mounted snow tire for snow recoveries for better traction it would take 5 minutes to swap them over on your lift, just a suggestion from a North Easterner, your getting to much floatation from those dune tires riding on not through the snow.
