Tyre pressure low or not i think this truck is pushing 3300 kg with all the stuff in the back and on the roof (2900 empty something like that?). I can feel its heavy just by looking at it driving! Wonderful trip you guys are making and nice truck
That was painful to watch! The sand and then the accident. :/ Happy it all ended happy. :) Beautiful scenery!! Please give us a tour of how you organized your vehicle for overlanding, etc.!! 😊
I don’t understand why Grenadier put those cooling radiators in the front bumper that’s the worst spot they could be in, and the materials they use on the bumper are not strong enough to take even a light impact, it’s a terrible spot they put those. Thanks for the fun video👍🇺🇸
Beautiful trip you’re on. It looks like you got bogged in the sand because your tyre pressures were not low enough…and your vehicle looks heavy. Less is more. Less air on the beach and less gear. Safe travels 😊
Never ever attempt a snatch recovery from the ball hitch, people have been killed from the ball getting ripped off and firing through the windscreen like s canon ball killing the driver. Your tyres still look over inflated for beach driving. Start with 16PSI and go as low as 8 or 6 if you need to get unstuck and reinflate to 16.
The line was attached to the U and not to the ball hitch itself. And you're right about the tyre pressure, we were a bit too excited by riding on the beach for the first time, inexperienced. After losing the Maxtrax we did deflate but not enough!
@@ExplorersOverlandgood on you for acknowledging you need to learn because a lot of people who watch these videos will offer you advice and help a lot especially if you show humility. With beach driving it’s always better to be overly cautious and take precautions by lowering tyre pressures which you can jump pump back up when you leave with a portable compressor. You may have been driving a bit too slow for that section of beach too. I bet that was stressful watching the water rise… 😅
Never done a lot of sand driving myself but tyre pressure is very important just watch trials cars. My Grenadier is very heavy so one of the first things I bought was an ARB portable twin compressor
Just with a heat gun, because the Netherlands version (maybe whole EU?) the front bumpers are made of plastic. I was a bit surprised actually to see the steel versions in the Middle East.

Fantastic
Did you need to buy any Grenadier parts to fix the car?

In our next video we will give a full tour!

That is painful to watch indeed, regardless of 4x4 vehicle , weight is a big factor here. Thanks for sharing
Hello there can you give me name or reference numbers of two wera sets at 5:44?

Did you guys air down? It doesn't seem like it.
No we did not before entering the beach. After losing the Maxtrax we deflate a bit, but not enough!

@@mrdobalina3451 yes and thank you for the advise :)

What pressure did you put the tyres down to?
How did you straighten the front bar that you damaged? I thought it was all steel?
