Suzuki Jimny VS Nissan Patrol Y61 4x4 Offroad In The Snow

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A Suzuki Jimny, a 2-door or a 4-door Nissan Patrol Y61, which 4x4 will perform better offroad in the snow?
The first snow had fallen so I and two other 4WDs from Varna headed to tackle a section of the Kom-Emine track in the Balkan mountains.
After clearing many fallen trees and branches, we progress to the most challenging part of the track.
The trail is very slippery, having ice and snow on top of mud. So at one point, everyone had to use their winches for recovery!..

    Jimny! You run way to much air pressure to run the jimny on snow. air down alot more, and crawl thru there. im running 1-2 psi in my 35's on my jimny on snow. I'll bet you could crawl all those hills, if you just run the correct tire pressure, and no right foot. Wish i was no so far away, would be fun to ride with you.

    1-2 psi?! 😱🙏 I was afraid to go lower than 1bar (14psi) but I guess the Jimny is so light that it won't pop the bead even with no tire pressure. Do you have experience in snow wheeling? Here in Varna there is snow for 5 days per year max 😅

    @@The4x4Lab My jimny is my daily, and i run 15 psi in winter even on road. (dont drive much on road, and its snowy roads and ice, much better grip, and much more fuel lol) I run 35x12,5R15 on 10x15" wheels and they work very well on snow with 1-2psi. the car float on the snow, instead of sinking. you just need to experience the difference, its really something special for the first time. You should NOT full send it tho, with low psi unless you run beadlock wheels. Crawling is key. Im located in Norway, and we do some deep snowwheeling here. 50-100cm of snow, depending on weather, the car will only sink 15-20 cm in the snow and keep floating with 35's. Next time you find snow, try with 30 psi, then air down to 5 psi to be safe and you will see huge difference. its night and day! look in youtube for snowwheeling and im sure you will understand. :-)

    @@The4x4Lab yes i do, the G13bb from 1999. note tho, im running a Sj T-Case conversion with 6,5:1 gears in it. It works very well, stock axels, but im doing mostly crawling, i rarly full send it, unless needed in some situations. Not a single axel or u-joint broken yet. More power = more problems. yes, its not a rocket, but then i would choose another setup/car. i love it . I am looking for diffs from a manual 2005+ jimny as they are 4.3 as mine is 3.9 diffs. may not change too much, but some here and some there are good.
