@@stormyj98 when you come to off road always let the air out...go to 1bar (cca 14.5 psi) to be on the safe side - safe in a way so you your tires stay on the rim... in extreme conditions I usually drive off road with 0,6 bar (9psi) in rear tyres and 0,7bar (10psi) in front... That is if you have off road tyres - with a lot of side wall...if you have road tires, ... ... ...
This is the only channel on RU-vid that the creator doesn’t have to do anything else other then understand the subjects being filmed. Some of this is unbelievable but you manage to upload regularly.
This track really isn't difficult at all but many people seem to make it very hard for themselves. The vehicles they're using are very capable, but its just a shame to see the drivers aren't.
Seeing vehicles letting there tyre pressure down when bogged is a case of to little to late... Bloody hell... Can't people pre plan & be savy with beach driving... R.
Went all around Frazer with a standard 4x4 triton and camper trailer never close to getting bogged. Knowledge is power, all those vehicles are easy capable but drivers not.
I think it's time you blokes spend some of your youtube money on a decent air compressor so you can deflate your tyres when you get there to help people and do Land Cruisers proud. Then you can pump them back up at the end of the day. I do want to thankyou lot though for grabbing my outboard support and delivering it near the barge. Had absolutely no idea I had dropped it. Great video Lads. Cheers. Go the 70's.
2 diffs, 2 lockers, 35,s, same width diffs, unlike 79 garbage.. 6 cyl tdi, v8 not needed..4'' lift. 2.8 m ish w/base.. my 4.2tdi s/duty, with 700nm,,more than a 79 series,, follows my mates 80, everywhere.. turns better than a 79. &, no computer.. winner..cost. 27k.. cheap, reliable.. german tech.. not jap rubbish..
@@PrestigeWorldWide179 took an outback up the beach for a fish just to have a laugh, ended up becoming our beach car for fishing. Went everywhere in comfort.
I had a 2012 Forrester (sti premium) driving that was like a 2stroke, turbo cuts in, off it went with the tyres down...traded it in for a X5 (for work purposes escorting vips)..in the dunes in Lancelin WA, was going up and through them where a 79 series couldnt climb...and what I will state is...Ive been 4x4ing for over 40years since i was 8yrs old in a 4cyl turbo diesel CJ8 jeep and driven, raced (Dakar) and what will say is the X5 (40D 3L twinturbo, 220kw/650nm) was one of the most capable 4x4s Ive ever driven. The awd system is fkn amazing, it automatically goes from 60% rear, 40% front up and down till when all spin it goes 50 50 and all wheels lock in similar to front and rear lockers. The modes like most to free it up was hold down stability button and abs for 10 seconds turned all aids off and the xtrack.4x4 system front and rear locked and could turn! I got a free $900 service from bmw.when had bet with BMW shop owner that i knew something that no other bmw shop or even hq knew about the auto door opens by button remote, but knew how.to close tail gate remotely too..BMW said BS, we know and theres no code in ECU...till.showed then press 3x and hold keyfobs open tailgate button and closed itself. BMW gave me access to anything in its shop, grabbed couple $550 bags, heap other shit (wasnt that much stock so.took 1 of most item there...on condition kept my cakehole shut. In beach sand, all driving aids totally off... NO other 4x4 could match through beach/dunes (even 4WDTVs Simon Cocksty's supposedly highly worked 4.8 Nissan Patrol).. ....BUT...mud, ruts, EVEN bogged on wet LAWN FFS with the factory fitted 340 x.75x.20s.was useless... Drink up fellas..cheers to all in this group..🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺
The only theory I can come up with is people running highway pressure for the 20min drive from rainbow and are too lazy to drop pressures for a 200m drive on sand to sit by the water.
I would like to see you guys get some state in the 4WD vehicles that are making through with ease and were the rest are failing, top 5 vehicles overall
Air is free at the fuel station in aus. People just can't be bothered. I remember first time I found out that America charges to use the compressors at the fuel station to air up I was gobsmacked.
All it takes is someone having a shit day and a flog walking up filming there problems and they're gonna get punched in the mouth. I can just see it happening
@@stever285 just to be clear, you'd prefer a total loss vehicle fire or people getting hurt or killed in a roll-over off road rather then a day in the office getting a promotion or payrise or something? Wow, you must really hate your job! 🤣😜
@@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt I think I have some serious answers for what might not be a serious question: Note, I drive deep snow -- not much sand -- but low tire pressure is just as important. So here are some reasons people don't lower their tire pressure: 1) They just don't know how much it helps. They may have heard about doing it, but never tried it and they just don't comprehend the huge difference it can make. 2) They don't have a pump to reinflate their tires. 3) They think they have. That is, they normally drive there truck with the tires inflated to the max pressure for the tire, often 50 or 65 psi here in the states. So they drop the tires to 30 psi (or something like that) and think they have aired down. They don't seem to understand that the tire is still basically round at this pressure, so they haven't gained much. 4) They are concerned they will de-bead a tire. 5) I've heard this for ruts in snow, but it may apply to sand as well. "I'm already dragging the underside of the vehicle. If I lower the tire pressure, I will drag more." True in some conditions, but often not the case.
Michael Anderson because they reckon it’ll be fine...I live in the north coast of nsw, I admit I’ve been beach driving and didn’t bother with letting down the tyres thinking it’d be ok...and it wasn’t...got bogged, got out let down all the tyres, all good 🤙🏼
@@andrewsnow7386 yea all good points mate. I am worried about rolling the tyre(tire) off the rim but I've been down to 15psi on bitumen with no worries. I guess you have to try these things. Just today I was driving on soft sand with 20 psi instead of 15 and I was struggling.
@@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt Oops, I hope I didn't offend by not using the appropriate spelling for tyre given the videos location. :) I actually considered whether I should put the pressures in Bar, or MPa, but I remembered other 4X4 videos from Australia where they spoke in psi. Anyway, in deep snow (often over a meter deep), I commonly run at 5 psi -- standard rims, no bead locks. With some old tyres that I got used, I would occasionally de-bead one. But, since I bought brand new tyres (around 5 years ago) I haven't had one de-bead even running as low as 3 psi. I think tyres with good clean rubber at the beads -- not ones where the rubber has been scuffed by repeated mounting and dismounting -- stay on the rim remarkably well. Of course, I still keep my speed very low when I have the tyre pressure down this low.
6:15 It amazes me how many people don’t know how to use a snatch strap. First deflate your tyres to 12psi. iReverse until your rear bumper is just off the front bumper and send it st moderate pace.
I don't understand the need for trailers. Are they gonna live on the beach for an indefinite period? It's like dragging a U-haul just to go beach camping. Oh wait, there's actually someone dragging a big-ass trailer home.😂😂😂
No need but they have everything to make it a nice trip. I think for some it’s nice to just unhook the weekend setup when they are done and just drive to work.
It's where the barge goes to Fraser Island!? I can't understand the Kings Awning craze and roof top tents!??? The best time to explore nature is at night! So WHY setup your vehicle to camp in when you can hook up a camper and go whenever & WHEREVER you want!?? You can get supplies on Fraser Island but it's very expensive because this is how you get there!? Coming from Redland Bay which is the gateway to Moreton Bay where the barge still goes to the Bay Islands but not Straddie anymore, as you leave from Cleveland these days. We like the remoteness!!!
Comforting to know that left to right isn't any better than right to left! Just having trouble understanding the submersible equipment. Is THAT for when the tide comes in?
The low range gears are geared very slow in the 70series. The guys think they are doing the right thing taking off in low 1but they can't get enough speed up. Also they think dropping the clutch helps but it just bogs down
Is there something I don’t know about this sand where everyone needs to drive flat out?? I’ve always dropped the tyre pressures and can just poke along with no worries.
