Sighs..... when will people learn to add air to their tyres before driving on sand? Minimum 50 psi, 60-70 is ideal, if your tyres start to spin accelerate hard until you get traction.
Finally, someone who knows what they're talking about. I agree. That advice will totally minimize your chances of getting bogged down. And you can leave that shovel at home, its just unnecessary weight. Us experienced 4 wheels off-roading drivers already know this.
Yep, He'll be looking at a new clutch and DM flywheel soon $1500 bucks or more. Rangers are notorious for clutch issues. Weakest point of the whole truck.
@@manofwar577 "What a load of shit". These OWNERS of four wheeled drive vehicles purely and simply don't know how to drive them. Frig, they have no idea of options, safeguards and physics. Dumbnuts being shown for what they are and having megabucks and no knowledge is not wrong. The people behind the camera are just showing what they enjoy as a hobby.
Guy in the ranger isn’t listening to the blokes yelling from the side coz he is the only one there who knows what he’s doing 😂 bogans on the side should shut up.
I floated over this spot in my 1600 single range Subi years ago. All that drama for the sake of FREE AIR!. Still good to watch and at least they are out and getting into it.
That red disco.... going the wrong way, no idea and doesnt look to have let his low profile tyres down ?? The garbag truck, also going the wrong way and contributing to a crash? WTF people
Bloke in the blue ranger is doing a top job helping people then you have these scrubs sitting on the side laughing and hoping that his strap will get run over and destroyed. Be careful sitting in the same spot ya bunch of Muppets 👍👍
Ngl if I was there helping people out and using my fuel and gear and these seagulls are laughing and hoping for something to go wrong I'd back up and dump the clutch on them in 2 wheel 😂😭
Still can't believe people won't air down in the sand. I drove freaking sports cars and I know you should air down in the sand to get more traction, Amazing...
people having a go at these dudes filming and using there own gear well at least they're out there getting people unstuck and not charging them if these cockblockers had to call a tow truck it would be 500 bucks, so there helping people get to the island and have a good time, yes there flogs with no idea how to 4wd but these guys are putting there own time and money in so other people can enjoy there weekend and they get a bit of content and make probably very little money so good on u guy ur actually really helping people that are to stupid to help themselves,
Amazing videos! You got a fan from Brazil. I had a toyota Hilux 3.0, an Amarok V6 and now a MIT Pajero Dakar 3.2. 25 January i Will do a trail called Bataguassu. Wait for the videos soon
Um most of these people have no idea and they never learn. They dont get bogged and go O shit I need to air down or drive through in a lower gear next time or pack some max tracks they just get snached out then 30 mins later they bogged again and don't know why.
Some good teamwork and support, always good to camp by the ocean. I am boggled at the numerous diesel powered vehicles in Australia. Have fun, stay safe
THESE GUYS ARE SIMPLY LIVING THE DREAM MY NEXT PROJECT VEHICLE WILL BE AN OLD MODEL OLD SCHOOL HILUX WITH ALL THE MODERN AMENITIES AND OF COURSE A 2 JZ GTE
What’s Jessie driving now coz I don’t the pathfinder around anymore same as the bright yellow fj. And there’s good ol Jessie right at the end with the pathy. I’m a happy camper now to c Jessie return 🤙😎
great vid to show people how important it is to have the right tyer pressure ......a lot of great 4x4's just let down by their drivers with no clue but you have to start somewhere i guess and thats their first lesson
Alot of newbies get told to drop their pressure but not how much. When your running 40 and you drop to 20 you think its enough but it might not be. My first time I dropped to 20 and got bogged. Now I run 14, never been bogged since and I just cruise everywhere - got to get bogged once to learn what to do.
Berms same with me mate, I ran 18psi on my first go. I got bogged got recovered and the guy who recovered me dropped my pressures further down for me to 14psi and went through easier the rest of the time. I do hope something good happens to the guy who recovered me. All good karma.
Can see the disco owners does not know their vehicles. Can clearly see the red disco's wheels are not deflated. Also on the discovery...need to be in Sand mode with traction controle off. Also proper set of all terrain tyres will help alot...
Turning the traction off is the worst possible thing to do,,,,,TC on disco's works really well in sand. Opening the drivers handbook or having someone explain how the systems work and how best to use them is best. Oh,, and letting your pressures down :)
Ever heard the expression " more money than sense"? Plenty of that on display here. What a bunch of bozos. That blue Ranger hadn't been there most of these idiots would still be bogged. The Ranger driver shouldn't need to pay for beer for years, but I'll bet none of those he helped gave him anything. There really should be a special licence to drive a forby. Most people in this vid would fail.
I am in the market for my first 4WD and I know as a beginner, I am going to do things wrong. I hope I don't have some pack of clowns on the sidelines laughing at me.
Get yourself a good compressor and a low pressure tyre gauge Drop your tyres down to 10psi and you should be able to go anywhere. I'm running a 75 PC cruiser with a lot of weight. Had to drop it to 8psi once. Crawled out. Good luck.
I had my first sand trip and also was my first 4wd session the other week. I went to 18psi at first, I got bogged and another 4wder lowered me down to 14psi and was much better. Live and learn. It’s all karma. Something good will happen to the person who recovered me. I’ll do the same if in a position to do so.
Tyre pressure and the mantra slow as you can as fast as you have to is the best method in soft sand... I see way to much right foot which just digs in... Having an auto helps I reckon... Oh and don't forget low range is better than high range... JMO...
Hello :) Most beautiful thing is that ,there is no shortage of helpful people, applause for those who offer help ! ! Respect In this days and age the lack of selfishness is a great advantage ! Best regards from Warsaw
Goes to show, its all in the drivers knowledge of their vehicle over which vehicle you're driving - just because its a 4x4 doesn't mean you can go 4x4ing suckers.
comments saying ‘can’t believe people pull up a chair & watch others get bogged’ .. written by someone sitting on their phone watching others get bogged
One point about dropping tyre pressures - if you dont have a pump, you feel a bit reluctant to do so. I went to Fraser a decade ago, and didnt let the tyres down for that reason. Mind you, I keep the foot planted and didnt get stuck anywhere. None the less, I would have changed air pressure if I'd thought to bring a pump.
So is the general opinion that regardless of all the vehicles in the clips, if they had correct tyre pressure they would have all been OK? (asking a serious question)
Yes. Generally 16-18 psi is a good starting point in sand, but on soft stuff you might want to drop it down further to 12-14 psi. You can go lower still, but I've never had to. It also depends on the tyres. For stiff-walled muddies, you have to let them down more to spread out and give a good footprint. In this video you can see some people with big muddies just give it a boot full. This is really great for digging holes, and it just chops up the track for other drivers to get stuck in.
I had a WJ 4.7 litre HO V8 Jeep, let the tyres down and that motor will take you across the deepest sand imaginable they are in a class all of there own when it comes to horsepower and speed on the sand with the Quadradrive ! I have a PX ford ranger now I haven’t taken it through deep sand I’m not expecting it to preform anything like the Jeep! I’d never buy another Jeep unless I needed to do sand crossings they are too expensive to keep on the road after a certain date but great at off road
