- Driving in the winter can be challenging even if you have the right vehicle and do everything correctly. This time, i didn’t do everything i could do. i have a 4wheel vehicle but i was only driving on 2wheel mode. also i didn’t have proper tires on either. Lesson learn, could have been worst but after everything, the total damage came out to $1,800. parts alone, i’ll install everything on my own.

We are glad both of you are safe and only minor damage happened. Keep on traveling!
thank you. will keep on adventuring for sure.
Good opportunity to get a nice front bumper upgrade. Also if i lived in an area that got this much snow, id buy dedicated winters.
i would love an upgrade front bumper. but they quit expensive so i’m keeping it oem.
I might get snow tires tho but some year it snow a lot, some not so much. this might be the only snow storm we get. 34 inches of snow fall in 2 days.
Dang man that must have been nerve racking.
Glad you guys are ok and the damage seems to be just cosmetic.
@@itsaboutfam It really was!! we never experienced something like this before. still having nightmares after 2 days. i can’t imagine those people who are in serious car accidents.
@moozylivingstone It's traumatizing stuff. My wife was involved in a pretty bad one years ago and still to this day she has PTSD on certain scenarios on the road.
@@itsaboutfamoh my gosh! so sorry to hear that!
I've only owned two 4x4s my Nissan and now my 2020 Venture Edition 4Runner. Thank you, this video just reminded me to use my four-wheel drive in the snow.
Key points to remember:
Only use 4WD when needed: Engage four-wheel drive only when driving on slippery surfaces like snow or ice, or when off-roading.
Can damage your vehicle: Driving in 4WD on dry roads can put extra wear and tear on your car's drivetrain, potentially leading to mechanical issues.
Fuel efficiency impact: Using 4WD unnecessarily can also decrease your vehicle's fuel economy.
P.S. Someone made a really good suggestion in the comments. Instead of just repairing your bumper you can use this incident as an opportunity to get yourself a steel winch bumper. I would also add to find yourself some good recovery gear.
Hey there, i would love to get a steel bumper. but as you may know, those things are expensive and maybe i might not know how to install it myself. i really like those CBI bumpers. but maybe in the future.
thanks!
Glad youre ok. You should atleast get good all season tires. If you drive on dirt roads you should get all terrain tires.
It doesnt matter what vehicle you drive, in bad weather, your tires are what gives any vehicle traction or no traction in this case. Glad you're ok!
Thanks for the advice! i am definitely getting new tires after this experience. But i have to get the bumper and the headlight fix first.
I’m thinking of getting BFGoodrich KO3. Still not sure yet, there are a lot of tires options on the market.
Hey, that sucks you crashed your truck but in the end what is important is everyone was safe. The truck can be fixed. There are some key takeaways here. Since you live in an area with snow, I would swap out those stock tires for something better suited for the snow and ice. The stock dunlops aren't great for much.
@@weecho27 For sure. i just got a new set of tires. but this time when it’s snowing or the road conditions is bad i’ll drive my vehicle in 4wheel. and avoid the shoulder area.
Glad you're OK!
thank you! could have been worst.
When I first bought my fault on her I had highway tires on there and I did a lot of slipping how did Donna Hill in the Poconos when I was sliding so much and so often in my hilly driveway even for a drive I finally then cover those tires and got aggressive tires. They made a world of difference
glad your safe tho!
Time for a new steel bumper and headlight upgrade!!! Glad you’re okay
@@PinkGabe909 I would love a steel bumper but can’t afford it at this time. new headlights, yes.
1.Not all 4WD are created equal!Educate yourself about differences between 4WD w locked center diff/ part time transfer in4WD and 4WD Full time or open center diff.
2.For the winter put Michelin X Ice tires
3.On paved road in icy conditions always drive slower with unlocked center diff and in situation like yours put your right wheels over the shoulder as usually there is rough surface and is most of the sand/salt/small stones pushed by the traffic.Otherwise, the hard connection between both axles on slippery road and higher speed will need a small turn of the steering to put you in a spin and out of the road.
4.Keep the locked center/part time transfer in 4WD for off-road use.
wow that is actually very helpful! thank you! i have so much to learn about differential and my vehicle.
I’m actually doing research right now on center differential. thank you for your helpful tips!
Get an alignment also
definitely! will do.
aaaaah, so sorry,
What tires were you running? Pretty much all the current gen of AT tires are triple peak, all weather tires. It's an expensive lesson, but even if you had been in 4WD, with the wrong tires, you could've still been in a bad way. At the end of the day though, it's just money... you and your loved ones are safe, that's all that matters
that is very true. our lives are more important than the material things. but yes, an expensive lesson. with the cost to replace the bumper, headlights and fog light, it would cost me the same to get a new set of tires.
Yes so my currently tires right now are stocked with 34k miles on it.
You shouldn’t let other traffic put you in a bad situation like that. It’s better to hit another car than go into a tree or the ground.
It probably didn't help that you were recording while you were driving.
@@JohnnyWhytetrash that is true.
I have a 22 TRD OffRoad & I would be absolutely 🤢🤮
that’s how i felt! been about 2 days now. still having nightmares!
what kind of tires do you have on your 4runner?
The stock Dunlop Grandtrek AT20
@@Valco458 hey that’s what i have on as well.
You're still probably going too fast afterwards.
@@GMJM23 yep that’s why bomi told me i was driving too fast.
Thats just windshield wiper fluid leaking, and if you had better tires I bet you could have just backed up outta there bro. ;)
Some says i could air down and back it up 😅
AAA is $100 per year
@@overworked30 😂 i actually have triple A for 6 years i never have to use it so i cancelled my membership
Nice. Does the 4Runner not have a full width steel front bumper underneath all the plastic? Tires means nothing on ice, just like a 4wd drive truck means nothing on ice. Keep your expectations reasonable on a stock tires stock truck and youll be fine. That idiot who passed you on the way home is going to be the next one in a ditch.
no, the 4Runner doesn’t have full width. only cover the center section.
that is true.
haha he actually got pull over by the cops, maybe 10 minutes later.
So no dash cam footage
no, sorry. no dash cam footage.
Oh No
i know 😢
