4x4 Saam Met Vriende is a Group of 4x4 Enthusiasts from 3 different provinces in South Africa: Gauteng, Freestate, and North West Province. Nardi, Ryan, Wayne, David, Andre and Chris... Just a couple of regular guys driving VW Amaroks, Ford Rangers and a Toyota Fortuner, that became friends during the journey of our 4x4 Adventures.
Our experience levels vary from person to person from Intermediate to Experienced Level drivers. We often have beginner 4x4 drivers joining our group. Beginners are welcome, as our more experienced drivers always guides them throughout the trails.
Together we build up experience taking on known and unknown 4x4 trails in South Africa on a monthly basis, documenting the memories on video for the world to see! The aim of the game is to have fun and enjoy the 4x4 Lifestyle as a group of friends.
Baie cool videos ekt dit nou baie geniet. Ek wil graag hoor wat is die fuel consumption op die Amarok...? Dit is mos die 132kw DSG? Hoe ry die amarok op die lang pad en hoeveel kilos kry jy per tenk diesel? Meer as 800km per tank?
Baie dankie Jehan! Ek waardeer dit baie! Die Amarok is n 8 Spoed Auto. Hy het een van die beste auto boxes in die Industry. (ZF gearbox). Dis die nuwe tegnologie Auto boxes wat werk met mechatronics. Hy klink nes n dsg as hy deur sy ratte gaan. Gemakliker bakkie as 'n Amarok gaan mens nie maklik kry nie. Hulle ry seepglad en gemaklik. Ry soos geen ander bakkie nie. Dit voel meer soos 'n luukse SUV soos 'n Touareg as jy hom bestuur. Ry baie sag! Brandstof verbruik hang maar meestal van jou regter voet af. In die dorp kry ek meestal 8.5km/litre, maar dan geniet ek hom! As ek mooi rustig ry en sag op die accelerator is, dan klim hy bo 10km/liter in die dorp. (Die auto is permanent 4Motion, so hy is heeltyd 4 wiel aangedrewe.) Op die oop pad, 11.5km/litre sonder sukkel, wat jou 800km en meer gee. Met Canopy en al. As hy baie swaar gelaai is, dan beinvloed dit wel die verbruik, dan val hy na so 10.5km/litre, maar jy sal steeds jou 800km per tank maklik behaal op die lang pad. Groete, Nardi 4x4SMV
It is not a trail to be taken lightly. Technical and rewarding! You definitely feel like you have achieved a lot on each visit! John Rock 4x4 and Camp will always be a special trail for me. It was my very first trail, fresh out of 4x4 Training. It was rough!! But I thought that's how all trails will be going forward, didn't realize at the time it is actually very challenging. It made some of the other trails I did afterwards feel "easy". Getting thrown in the deep end as a first timer, back then, helped a lot to build my confidence.
Good job man , it’s so lekka to see the behind the scenes of everyone getting stuck and the real life problems of 4x4ing 👌🏼 plus the kids commentary is brilliant 😂
Baie dankie JC! Ons waardeer dit opreg! Jy is meer as welkom om saam te ry! Enige tyd! Stuur ons 'n email by 4x4smv@gmail.com dan ruil ons besonderhede. Dan kan ek jou laat weet wanneer ons events vorentoe is, en jou op ons 4x4SMV whatsapp groep sit as jy wil. Groete, Nardi
@@4x4SMV verseker! Dit was David Mclean se bakkie en hy het nogal n groot bedrag spandeer om hom so mooi te maak! Ek sal daarvan hou om julle manne eenkeer te join, was darm al by Hennops en gister sommer in Vaalpark ook, het wel net n 4x2 met difflock maar n 4x4 is op die lys vir volgende jaar
@@devandennis1301 jy is meer as welkom! Ja nee as die 4x4 gogga eers byt, los hy jou nie! Jy is welkom om saam met ons te kom op n event. Ons het al 4x2's gehad wat saam met ons Hennops en Groenkloof gedoen het. In ons ouer videos van Hennops en Groenkloof sal jy sien hoe gooi Nico Mielies met sy Hilux 4x2. Hy het ons baie beindruk!
Haha okay, so dont get me wrong, but of the 3 times I've been there and wanting to attempt this part, al 3 times, and please don't take this the wrong way, not brand bashing... al 3 times... there was a broken Jeep(1st time Broken XJ, 2nd time a Wrangler and 3rd time again, a XJ) blocking the entire road at a point where you physically cant pass. Al 3 times, help was offered, and all 3 times it was declined. Haha so one day. ONE day, mark my work, I'll complete that part of the trail!
Ai that is not lekker! Part of off roading I suppose! Your FJ will LOVE that terrain! It is very intimidating when you walk the obstacles, the camera doesn't quite capture the true intesity and steep angles (like most off roading videos I suppose...) but I did it comfortably with my 'almost standard' bi TDi Amarok, with the help of Wayne with the Fortuner leading the way and guiding us through the obstacle. He is an EXCELLENT spotter!
haha I love that he still has the paper Numberplate! but eina, that wall tap at the end... ooff. Darem is my FJ 'n kortgat, haha so is al paar keer sonder 'n scratch deur daai gat
Spoiler alert... you are going to see that exact same tap on the back on two more vehicles in our videos coming soon of the same event. There was a rut causing the vehicles to slide their rear ends out. Dis nie lekker nie, maar soos hul se, elke sport het maar sy besering. Fortunately no major damage on the vehicles. I must say, I take my hat off to the owner of the Raptor! That was not a lekker situation, but he took it like a boss and remained calm.
@@4x4SMV Exactly as you say there. Every sport has its injuries. Haha no need getting mad, when you're the one behind the wheel. You just best stay calm an minimize the damage. I've only done De Wildt 2 times now, first time my car was still stock as a rock, second time after I did some proper underbody protection, but I'm keen on going back to test out my new suspension. We also took a buddy of mines Prado there like 4 days after he got the car, also still paper plate in the window. I'd say De Wildt is a pretty good benchmark trail to see what you can and cant do with your car. Looking forward to the next videos. #KeepTheShinySideUp
The Amarok 4 Motion handles mud fantastically! We have covered quite a bit of mud on past trails, perhaps I should make a mud only compilation..? But in the meantime check out the Mud Action at John Rock 4x4 and Camp. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nnz1zzHBtJE.html
The 2.0 bi Turbo has more than enough power and torque. On the road, the V6 is in it's class of its own, I can't compete there in a road race. But with my 2.0 Bi Turbo Amarok I am yet to be outdone on a trail by a V6. The 2.0 Bi Turbo has the same 4x4 capabilities as the V6 mechanically and electronically, with more than enough torque to get the obstacle done comfortably for a 4 cylinder. It does not sit in the shadow of the V6 in offroad conditions. It accepts the challenge, and gets it done effortlessly.
Jy sal heelwat kan doen by Hennops met 'n 4x2 met goeie ground clearance en diff-lock vir seker! Vir die rowwe dele is daar gelukkig ompad roetes. Toe ons die eerste keer by Hennops was vroer die jaar het Nico met sy 4x2 Hilux die roete gedoen. Hy het heelwat obstacles kon aanpak!
