Yeti Build

[NorthShoreBronco]

I don't want a Sasquatch, I want a Yeti!

So I'm no offroader, but I would like some advice for those who do runs in the snow.

Here is my intended vision and purpose for my Bronco.

I live in Canada on the east coast and we get a ton of snow. We have a camp in the woods about 1 mile in. We usually walk in or go by ATV with tracks. I want to be able to drive in all winter and pack the trail down with my Bronco.

Also there's a bunch of trails back there and I'd like to be going out in the winter.

Soooo, my build will be geared towards that.

Would 32/33"s Tires be good enough? Dont' think I need the Squatch package......


Getting a White 4 door. I want the Vinyl Seats and rubber floors. So either going Black Diamond or Badlands..... Then was going to get a winch.

What set up would be ideal for Offroading in Snow?

Appreciate the help.

Thank you

Steph

Jeep already has an Artic Edition with a Yeti all over it.
That might come out as copying Jeep.

Wildtrak and swap on at least 12.5" wide tires, in my opinion.

So Base Badlands would cover the lockers. Hmmmm.

You think I'd be ok with 32" tires aired down? Or would 35's a must?

Lockers would be helpful but idk if I'd consider them necessary. Depends on how rough it actually is and if the snow is fresh or packed.

My f-250 has seen about 3 feet of snow on mountain roads (combo of packed and unpacked) and does just fine on 315/75/16 ko2s in 4-lo with no lockers.

Locker winch and big wide tires. Also a shovel and a grip track of some sort and you shouldnt have any problems. If you dont want big tires maybe check out Green DIamond Tires to have as winter tires. I have heard great things about em. They have a grit to them that works in ice and snow.

Tires are not the solution you're looking for. Spin the tires once and you'll sink to the chassis. What you want are Mattracks. Get a set of those and you'll be the king/queen of the great white north!

In deep snow, the taller the tire the better.

This was my first thought as well. Tracks are da bomb in snow !!!

Ford can call it the "Bumble" named after the character in the Rudolph claymation.

Sounds like you need an Icelandic truck sitting on 38's!

Wide tires are bad in snow. You want tall and skinny. Wider tires means you need to push more snow, and snow is not forgiving.

There is a continual debate on this topic.
- Tall and skinny to get down to the soil and trudge through the snow. but your axles still drag through the snow and its easier to get high centered in the snow.
- Tall and FAT tires to float on the snow more. This is the Icelandic way and my personal preference. I'd rather climb on top of the snow and prevent dragging things in it.
