Off-roading in the snow with my lifted Excursion! - video

We had some fun yesterday. It took 6 hours to go 1 mile. The snow is deep and soft.

I loved snow wheeling over mudding and wet trails. All the same fun, way easier to clean.

Although sometimes the wheels would get so insanely packed up we'd have to run the torch near them to melt out the ice so the brakes would work properly.

Fun times! fantastic filmography! Good to have a big tranny cooler in these situations. Did you sell the roof rack?

Thanks guys. Video updated with a better version above. It's the same shots but the last one had a box around it and was all twitchy. I dont know why. This one should be better.

Looks great! We were just up in Jackson for the weekend. Not quite as much as the coastal area, but about 30" on the ground.

No powder-romping for me though...gave the X a break and used the Expy for the trip.

Thanks for posting. It's always fun to see the Excursions out in the woods.

Another very quick video someone shot this weekend. I am sure there will be more to come.

This is my second winter back in NH after a couple year absence. Last year we had no snow. This year it just wont stop.

It was a salty ride home:
