There are a few entrances to Julimar Forrest NP and the coordinates of the entrance where most challenging tracks are found is 31°29'40.3"S 116°14'54.0"E It's going to take me a bit of time to map out all the tracks and waypoints from our trip, but I'm definitely working on it! This time of year, the tracks are absolutely saturated with water and mud - a total playground for those who love a challenge! But be warned, it's easy to get stuck or even submerge your vehicle if you're not careful. Always proceed with caution when encountering waterlogged sections of the trail.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. 😊

Very!

I always engage 4-low for dune climbs. Gear selection depends on the approach: Long Run-Up: I start in 4th gear to build momentum, then downshift to 2nd (usually) once I hit the steepest section. Short Run-Up: With a limited approach, I head straight into 2nd gear for maximum torque and control.

@@Laval1great info mate, I tried 4L with 3rd gear with very high revs and the engine sounds like it’s about to explode lol… can’t imagine with 2nd gear, gonna try it out next time

Spectacular indeed! Thanks for watching.

It really is!

Wooohooo!! 🎉 That's awesome! I really appreciate you watching and enjoying the FJ action. Cheers!

Definitely agree! Safety first. We need to be more careful next time.

Thanks so much! There are heaps of dunes to explore here. I'm always looking for new spots to check out!

That articulation is insane! Makes them so capable off-road.

That's awesome! FJs are so much fun in the sand. 😊 The Oregon coast looks like an amazing place to explore.

Totally agree! The FJ has that undeniable charm. 😍

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more! They're such beasts on and off the road. 🙌

It's the PPD cat-back exhaust. ppdperformance.com.au/products/toyota-fj-cruiser-2011-2016-stainless-cat-back-exhaust

Thanks for linking that. Has the FJ got any other mods to achieve that sound or is it all from cat-back exhaust system?

Dude, mine sounds better. I have duel Borla exhaust.

You've nailed it! That's exactly the kind of passion FJ owners have. They're just FUN. It's that classic look, the rugged capability, and that feeling of freedom they give you. It's more than a car, it's an adventure buddy. I completely understand wanting to just cruise around and enjoy the drive - it's a feeling that's hard to match! 🙌

I hope you get the chance soon! It's an amazing experience. If you need any tips or recommendations how to drive on sand, just let me know.

@@Laval1 thanks!!

The videos were taken from Western Australian beaches and dunes, mainly in Lucky Bay, Western Australia - maps.app.goo.gl/VBryJR86zgfsqgF3A

@@Laval1 Stunning even from a satellite! Thank you!

Absolutely! FJs are built for that sand and desert life. Bet it's a blast out there.

Right! FJs hold their own, even when they seem outmatched. That's the beauty of them - capable and seriously fun.

The beach is pretty awesome, isn't it?

No doubt! FJs are beasts in the dunes. Recovering a 200 series is no small feat, congrats!

They are the best 4x4 plain and simple 😊

Thanks! The FJ Cruiser is definitely a beast!"

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video. You're going to have an amazing time down here - so many beautiful spots to explore. Let me know if you want any specific recommendations!

All good, been there a couple of times already, never been disappointed.

So glad you liked it! I like this region so much that I been visiting it every year for the last four years. I reckon Bornholm Beach was easier the last two times but still provide so much excitements, challenges and fun. I'm sure I will be back again within one year.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. On that particular day, the sand were quite compact as it showered the morning before we arrived there and I was able to drive on 12 psi. When I was driving up the hills I was on 4L and 3rd gear. Be mindful this beach is treacherous and some days you must be prepared to go very low psi. This is the fourth time I went there and they were all different. Two times I was able to drive above the 10psi mark but the two other times I was sub 10psi. One time when arriving near the beach, there were already over a dozen vehicles on the beach all bogged. So I aired downed to 8 psi before entering the beach and I was only able to drive a few meters before I was bogged. I was only able to get out at 4 psi and was so anxious about my tyres getting off the rims but had no option. The easiest time to go there is when it had rained the night before and it's not windy and the worst is when it's windy and dry.

@@Laval1 thanks mate. Now I don't feel so bad! Drove there once in the mid 80's... no idea how to 4x4 then... promptly got bogged. Luckily some locals came past and got us out. But even now I've never been below 12 psi... sure looks soft and deep. Won't be heading there without another vehicle with me. Thanks again for the detailed response. Subbed too.. cheers 🍻

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Correct - the GC has the Quadra-Trac 2 system (it's my car). I reckon this video a pretty good example of how the system works

Thank you

Glad you like the video. I was on 18 psi.

@@Laval1 Thank you for the info! Be safe out there!
