FJ40 + 22’ Bronco + 2Jeeps + 23’ Rivian and a cop…… Snow wheeling video! By Metal-tech 4x4

[helocat]

Every owner but the driver of the Jeep 4xE owns an FJ40. Ok so only one actualy brought out his 1974 FJ40, but it was a great run in th snow. The Rivian did amazingly well and only needed the FJ40’s 8274-50 a few times to get yanked out from being high centered. Bronco did a amazing too. So much fun having the FJ40 out there! It has the F motor, SM465 and a RoxBox like #003 (its a box of rocks Advanced Adapters no longer makes) This is the poster FJ40 for Metal-tech 4x4 with our Full Profile Cage, fenders and nose guard and stinger.

Great day on the trail.

Great video. Very odd encounter with a police officer.

At the end of the video you can see the power poll that was taken out by someone, that took off. I think the cop was up on the hill after that collecting names and just setting a presence. I support Law Enforcment out on the trails, they are a ways from back up! Good to have them out there to help keep idols from hurting others overall.

I must admit that was the first time I ever saw a Forest Service Law Enforcment officer up on Lo Lo Pass area. Our interaction with him in the end was fine and we all went home w/o any tickets!

It was a great day out-there.

@woody FYI was not sure where to put this video so figured vendor area was safe?

We met a Malheur County cop as we crawled down a primitive double-track out in the Owyhee's (barely in Oregon) on Thanksgiving a few years ago...he actually turned on his lights and made me get out of the vehicle, proceeded to read me the riot act as to why I didn't have a front plate. It's not a requirement in Idaho to run a front plate, but he didn't care where I was from...no ticket but man he was a dick. I've since added the license plate bracket that came with the short-bus bumper and put the front plate on the 80, don't need to give them an excuse to pull you over.

@helocat thanks for posting, had seen this over on RivianForums posted by the owner of the R1T in your group. My question is when are you making some sliders for my R1T? I know you have access to a test rig!
