We had a little snowstorm yesterday... so of course I wanted to take the Bronco out. Took a little drive to our land to pack down the trail. I plan on going every time it snows to try and keep the road packed so I can go all winter long!

It's a short but kind of peaceful video. Enjoy!

SWEET!!

There I was in 4H. On the road I use 4A

Awesome video. Being a native of the land of one season that looks refreshing.

I think I had it in mud and ruts just to turn the front camera on haha. I like having the camera on when in the trails. On the road I like putting the Sand mode on when lots of snow. It doesn't say sand/snow, but if you look at the picture theres snow there too....

Thank you for your response! I am new to the overlanding world, so I trying to figure out things on the fly. I have a question for you. Currently, we are in about a foot and a half of snow. It may be stupid, but can I head out and be safe in the deep of snow with my SAS Bronco? We are trying to make our way home.

Rule one…never play in the snow off a maintained road without a support vehicle and/or winch, shovel, provisions, warm clothes, etc. Snow is extremely unforgiving and will almost always dictate your forward progress depending on snow type (heavy wet vs soft and fluffy) and terrain under the snow. You can think all is going well and in a split second be pulled sideways into a ditch or sinkhole depending on snow depth and be buried up to your axles and if it’s deep enough, your exhaust can also be buried creating a possible carbon monoxide issue which can be deadly. Not something you want to experience in below freezing temps by yourself. If you know the road, snow depth and how to drive in it then by all means, enjoy..it’s a blast! However, also keep in mind current weather conditions as well to make sure that your fresh tracks aren’t covered with more snow behind you making a non maintained road even deeper or possibly impassable when trying to get back where you started from.

Thank you for your response. I think I will leave the snow playing until I am
more comfortable. At this point, I am just trying to head back to the main road to head home. If I know the route, is the Bronco capable of driving in about 12 inches of snow? Trying to get home for Christmas Eve.

The Bronco should be more than capable, however as previously mentioned, it all depends on the snow type, how far you are from the main road and what your driving skills are. It’s an individual decision and only you can honestly assess your skills and comfort level then determine if the risk is acceptable or not

If the Bronco is capable of moving up a small hill in a foot of snow, I should be good. Thanks!

You'll be fine. Or rather, the Bronco is more than capable. Just have your wits about you. You appear cautious enough not to take unecessary risk so I'm confident you'll get home for Christmas, Hawkeye

How frameless windows drop down on door open is working when freezed overnight - do they struggle to break ice around edges?

I have been driving around Mammoth Lakes, CA in my Bronco SAS BL’s.

Hey! I been there!!!

I really do enjoy the no commentary, just driving videos.

The occasional "Oh shit!" commentary is OK tho...

And watch out for all those other 1d10ts in populated areas!!!
