How to configure the Fortuner to drive on the beach!

No secrets here, just a quick vid to assist some fellow Toyota Fortuner owners I know who havent driven on a beach before. Just shows how I set my vehicle for driving on the beaches in my local area like Stockton Beach, Bennetts Beach & Mungo Beach. Now this works for me, it may not work for you. But this has never failed me.

BILLY GOATS BLUFF 17OCT23 - dashcam view of entire track bottom to top
Переглядів 2728 місяців тому
Did the track on Tuesday October 17th 2023. Thought I might throw up the entire track from bottom to top, using just my dashcam footage. I have removed as much of the stops as I could. Someone else might get benefit out of it, see what its like at the time and how a Fortuner did it. For me though, its a chance to store my memory and look back on the track in a few years time when I do it again....

    Great video Scott, I came across it while researching the park. I'm thinking of getting out on the bike to do this one but after the rain we've had recently, I might hold off. Those tracks look pretty challenging too. Can't wait to get out there in the coming months!

    • @scottroygbiv

      I reckon you will be right if it hasnt rained for a week. Make sure you stop and check out the waterfall, its beautiful! Yeh mate there isnt a lot in the National Park to do other then the track in this video, but the surrounding state forests have shitloads of activities to do. I did another video too where I found a hut out there.. the link is ua-cam.com/video/ZjtfFtg56dk/v-deo.html if your interested and it has this track but going the other way with a mate in his Troopy. And of course there is a few old timber and steam train relics to the north of Bulahdelah to check out as well, just outside Wootton in the forests nearby. I recently watched a couple vids of yours on Basin Road and Mt Allyn etc, enjoyed them. Thanks for checking out one of my vids, appreciated!

    First place I’d camped in the snow and seen snow for on 26 years was at Bentley Plains. Sunny one day snow the next ! 👍🏼 Couple of great little walks around that area, beautiful rainforest areas. Dargo Pub… say no more! 👌🍻 Great little episode ! 👍🏼

      Definately next time I/we head to the high country there will be less time driving, more time enjoying some walks and extra little sites and things to see. I was like a little kid when it was snowing, thankfully noone caught it on camera :)

    Hey you made it down south! Good to see you got the obligatory picture in front of the Dargo Hotel. You showed an amazing view from the top of Billy goats and it is still on our to do list. Looks like you had an amazing trip!

    Nice video Scott. Good to see someone acknowledging that Billy Goats is tough. I've watched a large number of vidoes of that climb, and most don't mention how tough it is. It was impressive to see the way the standard D-Max handled it. My own Fortuner arrived a couple of months ago (after an 18 month wait!) and I'm starting to do some tougher tracks. I live about an hour away from Billy Goats and am intending to do it when the skill levels are what's needed. I have a Tough Dog 40mm lift, KO2s, and winch. Do you have a front locker on yours? My original intention was to get an ARB air locker but am not sure now. I find the traction control to be very good on steep rocky stuff, and to date have only used the rear locker for sand, mud and sometimes for steep descents.

      Thanks for watching, much appreciated. None of us on that climb were what I would call experienced off roaders. Rob in the Patrol, it was his first day on a 4wd track, ever. But we didnt do anything stupid, it wasnt a race to the top, we just took our time. Low range, just crawl up. I didnt have to activate the locker which was good, my 2" lift and 31.5" tyres were more then enough to avoid any clearance issues just had to take the right lines. Although the locker would of made some of those wombat holes on the approaches to the roll overs a lot easier to navigate if I had come stuck on any of them. The Dmax is stock as, infact probably a little bit lower on the front now given he has a bullbar and winch fitted. He did get stuck a number of times but it was a case of reversing back, trying different angles and approaches and he got through every one on his own steam which impresses me a lot. And welcome to the world of Fortuner ownership!!
