Awesome truck... would be great if its available in Malaysia

You need to filter you microphone as you S'S cime across TOOO SSSSHARPPP

How to avoid the nose crunch? Get yourself a highly lifted 4×4 pickup truck with solid front and rear axles. Of course, definitely have some very beefy fat tires on it. It's insane why people want such low riding cars.

Not surprised only one BMW driver could do it.

You shouldn't be anywhere near a low/lowered car if you didn't instinctively know this already.

Excellent video!!

0% problems with my 2014 Mitsi PHEV in 230K miles (500K + km) It's still on its original traction 12 kWh battery I've owned it over 9 years - don't want to get rid of it - because it still gets me 14 miles to work and back every day for less than $2 on electric It's saved me a fortune & at weekend s it's great for towing big trailer caravan anywhere ( goes places even our Jeep gets stuck) But must turn ESP off when off road 😎👍

This is common sense... 🤦‍♂️

You should point out not to turn back your front wheels until the first wheel touches the driveway.

No brakes on my trailer. So how do I get out of this situation?

Nicely explained. Why bike in tilted position can turn with smaller turning radius?

What are the axle codes for LC300? Is B24 an open diff or LSD?

I bought a 2020 Honda Accord with 20,000 miles on it. I assume the tires are the original tires because they say they were made in 2020. Do you think they are unsafe and should I change them. Thank you.

7:22 that is super low

5:05 i have seen this car in fast and furious 2

4:35 4:51 why/how does slowing it off affect it?

Sadly the problem still exists when you're driving through an intersection that dips like a driveway. I switch to driving an overlander on those streets. My mustang is restricted to evenly leveled streets.

GG Curb Angle Man!~

how about the cabin noise?. Is the GR86 has improve the cabin noise over gt86?

Just... Don't lower your car

Step 1: Don't buy a lowered car. Step 2: Don't lower your car. Step 3: IF you do lower your car, get a suspension system that allows you to adjust ride height on the fly.

Awesome videos… very informative. Thank you

Just back out

I absolutely appreciate this but the sprung vs. unsprung weight comparison slide is reversed. 1kg rotating mass (wheel) should be equivalent to 1.6kg non-rotating mass (cargo). You have the 1.6kg of wheel weight being equal to 1kg of cargo weight. Just trying to clarify, otherwise thank you so much for putting this together and delivering it at a great pace!

I think there are a few more factors to consider. When you drive and winch, there is the risk of suddenly getting grip -> winch rope goes slack. Depending on the situation that can have terrible consequences if the car losses traction. Regards the shock loading not really happening, I tend to disagree somewhat. It takes some experience to judge and manage winch/throttle/break coordination. I lost a winch when helping a less experienced off-roader, I was winching him up the hill and he overrun, slipped and my winch gears were toast. Always depends on the situation, just diffed out on a moderate hill? 100%, winch & drive. Palm creek exit to steep and wombat holes to deep? I’ll trust my winch in short bursts only.

finally seeing a land cruiser being used as it should be.

I think also the more inertia you have in the trailer with speed the more risk there is the trailer can effect its own direction. That is to say that if you travel slow, you can’t get trailer sway, those influences are too small. If you are going to tow over 60mph / 100kph your risk It’s going to shoot way up at increasing rates.

good video. God bless america

That's great is your trailer has electric brakes... but some don't...

I just thought I'd come back here to say that my Grenadier had the promised "fix" done to Apple CarPlay operation yesterday (24 May 24) at Purnell Adventure in Sydney. CarPlay navigation now seems to work exactly as it should, with none of the lagging and freezing issues that had plagued it. Cheers!

Thank you for recording these detailed guidance.

I have towed for many years and now tow a 2.6 tonne caravan. My observations are 1. Most people do not understand the various tow limits for their vehicles and end up being overladen. 2. Most people underestimate how heavy all the stuff is they put in their car and caravan. Do they really need a second beer fridge, generator etc etc. 3. People drive too fast when towing - I sit on 92 on cruise and sits comfortably. Take off cruise downhill and uphill and take it easy. Glad to see this couple survived this crash

Robert this relates to your Yellow Hooks Bingo clip, I've just purchased a pair of Mawby hook kit's for trailer/ caravan safety chain coupling which are tested to AS4177.4 made by Dix engineering in Australia..you may want to give them a once over👍

Thank you.

7:47 Shouldn't that be 40% faster (ie takes 60% of the total time), rather than being 60% faster? Sorry for nit picking.

This just showed up in my front page this morning. I bought a Golf two days ago after owning only pickup for my first 9 years of driving. Impeccable timing.

What does the Raptor have diff lock wise? Centre? Front? Rear? None? Was it in low ratio or high?

Sorry to write this, but on a hard surface like that, how is this not completely obvious? Is this really something people said would not happen? If so those people are wet between the ears, so to speak, in older parlance.

The sound of the nose crunching makes me cringe just as the sound of an accidental grinding of the teeth would.

Thanks for the videos they explained more details on things I did not know, thanks again. I would like to know if there is a way to indicate (dash light) that one of the brake cables has been broken off while travelling, the reason being, We recently had the van serviced and was told that 2 of the wires to the brakes where broken off so we only had braking on 2 wheels (4 wheel van), so this means I took the van to the service agent with no brakes, I would like to add a light to the dash indicating if something was wrong with the brakes on the van, any ideas?

This is fascinating, excellent video.

Neutral winching never seemed intuitive to me. Validating video. Makes sense to distribute the pulling power. That said i could imagine some scenario where someone might be in drive, rev, getting ahead of winch then a wheel slip occurs and creating shock load on winch. In other words, driving and especially reving could increase probability of that scenario. Of course, attention to the possibility will likely avert the possibility.

And the angle car driving much slower, should perform both techniques at the same speeds

I have to angle my way into my favorite gas station if I don't it'll scrape (2022 Camaro). I drive a truck, sometimes I pull a drop deck trailer, I've scrapped the trailer before pulling into a customer lot, that's where I learned about this.

I wish these modern vehicles had a hand throttle like the old 4wds did . A throttle control like a iDrive could be programmed to function like a hand throttle , I did talk to a bloke from iDrive several years ago , he said they were working on it but nothing ever happened.

Robert, I am not a seasoned offroader, however it strikes me that a good addition to a test like this would be a laser thermometer on the winch motor. If you aren't holding anyone up maybe a few minutes rest part way up would let the winch and auto box cool down as well as to let the battery recover. Another excellent video.

where buy table

Looked good, but what about in mud and clay? My concern would be that you get some grip, pull forward and then slide back, shock loading like you did on the downhill return. That risk of increased load is to high IMO. I would have double line pulled (to take the strain off the winch). Winching on flat (thick mud etc) I can see the real advantage.

fix the roads
