Tell Travis that's the best bit of advice I've ever heard anyone other than my dad give about river crossings. Park your car and turn off the engine to let the brakes and engine cooldown. My dad is a mechanical engineer of 50 years and he always gave that advice but the funny thing is I've never ever heard any other RU-vid presenter say that before.
There's this other video specifically about river crossings, and it also mentions the same thing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ghXOvR7L_A.html
Hi Travis, a good morning from India. The is the best of best advice i have ever heard from any expert. The explanation was outstanding and informative. Thanks
Good Day! Thank You for the Information and I want to Learn more about the 4x4 off road techniques. So soon I can be experienced and thought it to others.May God Bless You more Sir Travis!!! God Bless
I have a old manual full time 4WD fortuner. Need to learn how to use 4L while steering close bends at uphill as I hear a sound of wheel spinning in 4L as differential lock is engaged. Does traction control on or off helps in this situation.
Thanks for posting this video. I live in Costa Rica driving a gen 3 toyota 4runner. Thinking about a fortune upgrade. Your test track is my everyday roads! Question, since I don't have different lock, would applying the parking brake help with traction in a cross wheel spin situation.
is it bad that our fwd light is orange but it enganges the 4lo. When driving on flat road the car would jump as if youre screwing your clutch changing gears. Its a manual fortuner
you should not drive your 4x4 in high range unless needed, for example off road, dirt road, sand roads etc. It is not recommended to drive on tar in 4x4 high range, unless your vehicle is a permanent awd vehicle, like the Prado
