As a Victorian I've experience mud and ruts more than sand.With that said, I've found sand much easier to drive on (SA, NT & QLD trips) even when towing a camper. What I mean by that ( in my experience): sand seems much easier to feel the point at which you need to increase power or stop before making ths situation worst (when you feel that point you KNOW to stop. In mud situations you tend to have more leeway to persist which may or may not work and make things worst but with sand it always tends to make things worst. Hopefully that makes sense to someone else. Thanks for the content.

Used to fish the 42 and tea tree crossings regularly when I lived at meningie. Only had 2wd's and never got the Valiant stuck there. Have driven to the mouth from the tea tree in a 2wd 1983 rodeo fitted with 9.5×15's at 10 psi- no issues and went everywhere my mates 4wd's went. Great 3 day trip- caught a prize winning mully at the mouth, cleaned and weighed 48 lbs at the shell roadhouse Salt Creek.

Well Dave, great turn out, it just goes to show you how much of an impact / influence you have had with the Y62 within the community being here in SA, Vic, WA etc. It’s the reassurance of knowing what you and Steve have built being 4x4 DNA and Dash off-road is why this car has taken off. Keep up the great work guy’s. 👍👍

After many years of driving a manual 4wd and never getting bogged my work gave me a Auto 4wd. First week bogged. Your tips will be help me in the future. Thanks

I have been driving in sand since I was 6 years old. We had a old Series 1 Landry and when I was 18 a friend and me went camping on the west coast of South Africa. As we went onto the beach we had no problem but just about 100 meters on we got stuck. We were stuck for 3 days. The sand was so soft that there was nothing to do but dig yourself out and move a meter or so and get stuck again. Just remember it is not if you will get stuck it is a case of when.

Speaking of tyre pressures, those with effective bead locks would have the option of benefitting from normally bead popping low pressures such as 12psi. That said, do NOT forget to air back up BEFORE going high speed.

Nice to watch a video from S.A !! I am from S.A we have some awesome 4wd aread down this way 👌

Howdy Dash, I must say that your videos are very informative for anyone even the knockers. They provide a poor reply but no footage and bag the Nissan. Well each to their own 4wd and style of driving. You don't claim to be a professional just a bloke with a 4wd and cameras actually giving it a go like the lads/groups and using them not like the jacked up mall crawlers without a scratch or a spec of dirt. Keep up the good work.

Tyre pressures should be number 1. Im always amazed at the amount i see stuck who havent and also wont air dow.

Why do I feel like the only people watching are the people who don't actually need the advice and are just judging how good his advice is 🤔🤔

First one should be "LOWER YOUR TIRE PRESSURE " "LOWER YOUR TIRE PRESSURE "

nice tips mate

Tides! You forgot tides. Robe, Goolwa Beach, infact any beach it's important to note. I'm a beach fisherman and it's my first thought before planning beach driving. I got some good tips from this driving a newish Auto. I've most of my 4x4 life had manuals. I haven't come close to being stuck in my 200 yet but have had challenges going up step inclines at Fowlers Bay. manual mode is in my memory bank now. Cheers for the tip.

Lower pressures should be the main point not a footnote. Tyre pressures are the difference between getting stuck on flat ground and walking up steep dunes.

Every person that visits Sand Hollow near Zion in Utah needs to watch this video. That sand will bog your vehicle in 15' (5m)

My Colorado 4x4 Is newer and doesn't have low gears but it does have a rear locker. It also has a sport mode where I can shift up and down

Thank You. I LEARNT a LOT. Thank you.

Great vid Dash, I have had an 80 series and a pajero and done quite a few trips over the years. To salt Creek, beach port, lower yorkes and you give some great tips. At the moment my only option is my wife's Rav 4 lol, knowing its limitations won't go where it can't, but it's a rocket v6 option with 200kw, letting the tyres down, turning off TC, using the diff lock function and having an L2 gearing you can select, being mindful of ground crearances etc, surprisingly it can be a bit of fun and can actually get to a few decent spots.

So true. Great advice thank you

A must have to watch when you have no experience to drive in sand.I watch all the Malcolm Douglas videos in the eightys ha ha ha.

Thank you. I learned something here. Awesome!

If ur stuck just hit the gas. trust me I drive a Subaru Outback that has 20+ bumper stickers on it so that’s like 40 more hp

Great advice thankyou

Thanks a lot can you please give more details on automatic cars 2*4 thanx

Thanks mate. Really appreciate the tips and tricks.

GOOD STUFF MATE i like the music in the back rouond & god bless steve corbin !!!

Seven minutes of video, and no mention of always making sure vehicle stability control (whatever the manufacturer calls it) is off when driving in sand. In an older Prado that is just engaging the center diff, which should be done for all sand driving. Don't do it and the vehicle will automatically cut power and apply the brakes to try and correct the swerve as the vehicle plows through the sand.

I have to say that patrol sounds meaner than my commodore. I think I need to upgrade. Great video mate

Gear choice comments were very helpful. Sub'd.

G'day Dave , I subscribed to your channel a week or so ago and watched pretty much everyone , even the Caravan vids I'm looking to buy a Y62 very soon , also looked at the Lc200 but the extra features you get with a Patrol for less money is hard to overlook .I'm just about over CRD engines especially now they all have a DPF .Anyway what I would like to ask is have you broken any CV's , My current 4wd a Isuzu Dmax , its very good at busting CV's I do a lot of Vic Highcountry driving , I have never seen anything break as easy as bloody Isuzu CV's and believe me being in the bottom of a steep gully , reduced to 2wd is a real PITA ,Regards Jacko

whenever you are driving on sand you're right its all about momentum. A general rule is to always lower tire pressure so you can spread your treads on the sand for traction, a second rule is whenever you are losing momentum try your hardest to not allow your tires to spin too much to not dig a deeper hole (its all about having traction), you can also try rotating your wheels to the left and right to regain traction and having a steady speed. here is an example of what you can do if your bogged kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obaUqtGB0dzLmqM.html

thanks bud, good tips you got one sub extra

Great advice.

Y62 fucking luv it never see any 200 series where I go sounds sweet too

Great info

Jokes lol Great knowledge and thanks for the great help Cheers 🍻

I just got stuck today!!! Truck is still out there, wish I watched this sooner. Gonna go tomorow and use some pallets for traction and hope I didn't kill the transmission. My Toyota 😫😫😫

Great video.

Awesome champ

Nice to hear something from SA for once! I recently bought our D40 and took it down the Coorong for the first time on beach (and only 2nd time off-road). I did get bogged... and yes this was in Drive, but I actually attribute it more to the tire pressures. I was running around 16 in the rear and 15 at the front, but that first 50m beach track heading North from 42-mile got me. Had I not done my research I probably would have panicked, but videos like these helped me so much (been watching Ronny Dahl and 4WD Action quite a bit). I didn't dig myself in any deeper, got out, dug some ramps, rolled out some cheap tracks at the front, and popped out of it in 1st, driving on through the gears rather than Drive. But, I did manage to cruise around most of the stuff 10km North in Drive okay, it was just that section which needed better rev control. Anyways... the point is... these videos DO help, and I want to thank blokes like you for freely passing on your advice, rather than keeping it to yourselves. It means better and safer driving for everyone on the track, cheers. -DC.

Jesus, that Nissan is so large those 35's look like 32's

Since this is about how to NOT get bogged down, I have 1 piece of advice worth noting. Buy a TRD Off Road rig and use the Crawl Control. ;) No airing down, no special tires, no winches, no recovery vehicles needed. Sand is no obstacle for it. :) Cheers.

What exhaust muffler do you have? Love that sound 🤙🏻

"TRACTION CONTROL OFF" and MOMENTUM

Very helpful tips.. Cheers mate

Thanks a lot

Nice!

V.good points 👍👍👍😎

Thanks! your not full of Shit! refreshing.

In Prado 150, When I am driving in sand dunes what would be the best settings? 4H with central difflock Or 4H without central difflock

Mate. What is the song title ? The one where the DJ scratch the disc

Hi, what rims do you have on this rig?

Where are you sitting next to car? Thompson’s?

Which tracks did you shoot this on

What wheels do you have installed in this video?

How did you mount the flag?

300 kilowatts 😂 I need 1.21 gigawatts

When are you going to do a video on your car? Just a good Look at it

What kind of tires are you running?

A grown man wearing his hat backwards, you lost me...

DON'T.RUN.HIGH.TYRE.PRESSURE

I see almost no bagging out in your tyres in all the clips. your tyre pressures are to high. some good tips and for beginners I agree with parking down to the beach. But once you've done lots and know what your doing you can easily park uphill and sit on your tailgate. JUST NEVER BRAKE roll to a stop and slowly reverse out as your leave dont try and go forwards

My advice to this bloke and everyone else is enrol in a 4wd training course as you will learn a heck of a lot more and it's fun. Sorry old mate you should not be making how to or how not to video's your just going to get people into more trouble.

Can you make a video on rust? Ie when you install a snorkle or after driving through saltwater etc etc

What 4x4 did you own before the y62?

You fellas down under is as goofy as us fellas in the states, bunch a meatballs....a fellas got to get hisself a nice set a meats...

Russel Coight.

Kilowatts? Is that an electric sub? Lol

I bet you’ve been stuck just about every where y62 life

Spoiler alert... get bogged

First thing that you should do is change your outfit.

forgot to mention,do not drive on sand with mud tyres,unless there half worn,or decent tread a/t,s.a good a/t will do most any condition.traction control should be disconnected when you buy the vehicle.fit lockers.preferably,buy a vehicle with 2 diffs,NOT,ifs.cv,s.youll die.biggest tip of all,JOIN A CLUB,NOT A PUB CLUB.dtu...

Buy a jeep wrangler

You think the musak is helpful? gone...

Don't drive a shit car. EZ

You mist one don’t own a Nissan

Omg this guy has no idea what he's on about

I just need to add one more really important failure that I have noticed quite a few novice four wheel drivers making because if you do this you will almost certainly get stuck ........ Don't buy a Nissan 😂

Step 1 Don't buy a y62 Step 2 Dont wear Yellow Step 3 Buy a real Patrol and send it Step 4 Move on from this video Step 5 Stop overthinking it and keep sending it

No idea don’t follow anything this guy says

Also if your a master at getting bogged why would anyone take your advice your obviously not doing it right then 🤦‍♂️

."..You can still get unstuck !" what kind of English is that "...pick a gear that has a good amount of traction if high range 1st 2nd or 3rd ?????" might want to refer to a script before advising people & completely confusing them !!

So much bad advice here!!
