10:36 peanut trying to get love from Matt and then falling out of frame had me laughing out loud !!! So cute

Thank you, Matt. I'm one that asked about the battery and welding. I appreciate your wisdom on this issue. 15+ years ago, I needed to weld a shock mount back up on my daily driver F250. A couple of the Uncle's that I got advice from had told me I needed to unhook the battery first. (They were both "back yard" welders only - and neither were mechanics.
I had asked that question so I could gain knowledge for myself. I appreciate your answer, and Thank You. Most of the welders in your shop do more welding in a week than I've done in my 60+ years of life.
That shock mount I mentioned - one of the uncles had welded it for me twice. His weeks kept breaking ( not good penetration). His welds looked better than mine. After I scab patch welded it - it didn't break again. He went to his grave not knowing I had to fix it.

I have dogs and I'm big time dog lover. It's very obvious that you treasure Peanut and all your dogs like they were your family. I never worry about how you're treating them and I assumed when you said about the burger in the restaurant that you had her in the truck with the AC on. I know you would never mistreat your dog, it's very obvious the way she licks all over you and you let her and encourage her to that you are a big time dog lover. It's also very obvious that you spoil them and that's exactly how dogs should be treated for all they give us. Good for you😊

[davidgrant]

I can’t believe how people don’t understand how much peanut and your other fur babies love you so much

Jake being humble and positive is and will continue to benefit that young man for the rest of his career. He will never be unemployed.

We like the Q/A session on the way home! Excellent use of time and more informative directly from Matt. Expect to repeat some topics like tire pressure but still good info. Nice to have a non-nailbiter rescue to start the day.

[rickrichardson]

Love the Q&A while driving home and never doubt you taking care of Peanut, it's amazing how they become part of the family. That's the first diesel I've seen that wasn't 4x4.

[bobknull]

Wisconsin native here. Yes, snow is a complex beast. It can change by the hour. It is a huge learning curve. From what I have seen you handle yourself pretty well in it though. The Q and A was great. I love that you are always in teaching/learning mode.

[cyklatillbahamas]

Swede here (ace of base-country). For us snow/ice means spikey tires, sometimes starting in 2nd from stand still, maintaining momentum uphill and a general "easing" of all your inputs. Downhill can be tricky if icey - drive as if you expect it to loose grip and go sliding.

No news to northerners, but I guess it could be interesting for others

[johnguilfoyle]

Liability for changing the air in someone's tires... Liability is an odd thing.
We retiled someone's kitchen floor and backsplash and finished on Friday. Sunday we were called because the landline telephone wasn't working.
What does the Tile Guy have to do with the Telephones? According to the customer, we loosened the phone jack in the kitchen backsplash, so WE must have done something wrong. Okay... The problem was the thunderstorms on Saturday Night destroyed the Computer Modem with a lightning strike and once the computer was unplugged, the phones were fine.
If YOU Touched it, and there's a problem down the road, YOU are Liable (in some people's minds).

[michaeltablet]

If you've never been stuck, then you haven't been in the mud much. Great recovery. Peanut is living the good life!

For welding on a car, consider the path of the current. If they attach a ground next to where the welds are happening, then it has no reason to go through the chassis or computers. If you attach the ground to somewhere that the path isn't direct, expect it to take an indirect route.

“Because it’s a Jeep” made me spit out my coffee 😂

[JAMESWOLFE-lx]

All my dogs (one at a time, mostly) would get excited whenever I pulled into a drive-up window, because they knew a plain hamburger was coming their way. Even at the bank, they made googly eyes at the teller and a doggy biscuit was coming! Dogs love affection! And food, they love food! Food AND affection - two hot buttons at once!

[tawdrytalis]

As a Canadian who has done a fair bit of off-roading in the snow, firewood collection, camping and genuine fun being the reasons. Luck is what you need 17:58 the snow evolves multiple times during the day, if a spot gets more sun or more shade you can have different characteristics of snow which makes recovery and self recovery a fun but challenging venture.
Definitely nailed it on the head Matt and if it makes you feel any better, I also do not understand the snow.

[andrewsnow]

SNOW!! As someone that lives to drive in snow, you obviously have a pretty good understanding -- it is different every time! That said, low range is almost always the right answer in deep snow. There have been a couple of times where I've suggested people shift into low range after seeing them struggle in high. One guy actually had his clutch smoking. Unless you need want to go faster than low range allows, there is really no drawback to using low.

Someone who spent most my life on the Oregon dunes. Watching the weekend warriors with their mud tires tiring to access the dunes. Was good entertainment and a money making opportunity.

[johnnyquest]

Holy Smokes, I give that Dodge guy a "10" for creativity in self rescue techniques 🏁

[jeepxj]

60mph in low range?? I think if I tried that in my XJ I'd ventilate the block.

[chrisking]

With snow the tires are made of a softer rubber as all season and racing tires don't work as well when the temperature is below 5°C, the snow tire will still have grip below 5°C (basically looses its grip as it gets colder so if it's -30°C out it's obviously not the best but much better than non-snow tires)

Another thing a lot of people get confused with is the width of the tires. Sand you want wide to stay above better. With snow you want a narrow tire so it will have an easier time to hit pavement.

One more thing, studded tires are only good in icy conditions. If you live in an area that mainly gets snow, you want to avoid using studs. Dispite what a lot of people would assume it doesn't bite into the pavement better than rubber. It's only good if there is ice. Using studs on snowy/ wet roads especially on the highway is more dangerous, if you need to suddenly brake or turn fast you won't have the same traction.
