Excellent video! Using hand brake, traction control, walking the track and finally going backwards without damaging vehicle and track, just brilliant and responsible. Well done.
Well done! By yourself, no spotter, and no winch is ballsy! Been there, done that, it adds another layer to the fun eh. Winches get you in more trouble than they get you out. Left foot brake works well, never used my park brake ( land cruiser thing) Can’t believe you didn’t bend a side step! Cheers
That was....... AWESOME ! I think your driver's side tail lights are also out.. but it could have been the angle.. as I didn't see the brake light or the reverse lights on the driver's side. Its those THUMPS on the front end that scare me the most.. I have got to get some protection under my Territory as I am always afraid of coming down on the gear box and cracking the sump on the gear box.
it seems to be an intermittent issue thankfully the lights but good spot! lucky my front bar took most of the impact which is good just ball about wheel placement and yeah avoiding the underside contacting
Great vid mate 👍, I've done bits of the powerline a couple years ago always fun but im always reminding myself about being able to go to work the next day and do the school pickup lol so yeah I try not to flog the guts out of my 4by! Haha 😂👍
Is the handbrake trick only for electronically controlled AWD systems and RWD biased? Does it work with Mechanically and Viscous controlled systems and FWD biased systems? I never knew about this before and its an awesome trick!
hmm the Territory is a mechanical constant AWD (similar to early BMW X5 too) and works great - but i don't see why it can't work on other systems tbh. the handbrake just adds resistance to the rear so the car thinks there's traction again and then it provides more power to the other wheels 🙂defo worth giving a go! mileage might vary in an electric AWD setup but i'd be interested to see too now
@@alwaysAWD I have a old Syncro VW setup that uses a viscous coupler. It’s primarily FWD until slip. I’ll give it a try but it may be that handbrake locking rear wheels does nothing in this setup. Great tip nonetheless!
i reckon it might help because if you're spinning on your fronts, locking the rears with the handbrake (do it very gradually till you feel it grip - might make another video around off-roading AWDs specifically) would shift drive forward potentially. keen to see how it goes mate 🤙

cheers mate! best to know your limits and the vehicle too before pushing it further than it should 🤙
Like the hand brake trick
Awesome video! I have a similar looking car a Toyota Kluger Gen 1 2007 and this gave me a great insight into the capabilities of awd
awesome vehicle mate 🤙 great choice. just shows that AWD vehicles are super capable off the road 💪

cheers mate! just giving it all a crack and happy i got as far as i did. yeah a winch probably got me into more trouble too haha

Love the wheel and tyre combo, looks like a police cruiser.👌
thanks mate bit of a Crown Vic throwback 🤙

i've got a big trip this week so i understand the feels of trying to be careful 😂 good that you've given it a go that's awesome mate 🤙
Nice one dude 🤙
cheers mate 🤙
#territory goals.
You can turn off your belt reminder by clicking the belt in and out once fast :)
cheers mate good to know!
Good on ya for getting out and giving it a crack mate .
thanks mate that's what it's all about 🤙
awesome, never seen a handbrake used like that. Wise move to stop, you can always go back.
pretty nifty aye - like a mini lokka in some respects haha
