- The key to safely and successfully tackling any steep incline is to have a mechanical understanding of your 4x4 and how to best operate it, as well as to understand the characteristics of the hill climb itself.
That mechanical understanding can be as basic as whether the vehicle has a manual or automatic transmission, or a single- or dual-range transfer case, or whether it is a part-time four-wheel drive with manual or auto free-wheeling hubs, or a full-time four-wheel drive with a locking centre diff.\

Love what you teach!
However, I think you missed one point…
When reversing down a hill, pull up the hand / parking / brake 1, 2 or 3 notches/clicks. That changes the brake balance of the vehicle, adding more brake power to the rear when you press the brake pedal keeping you in control of the vehicle - avoiding being a passenger of a stray car.
I’ve done this several times in snow/icy conditions and it work great.
My top tip: don't wait for your mate directly behind him at the bottom of the hill. Loose rocks kicked up can role down the hill and smash a windscreen. Park up before the hill just a bit around the corner, and get out if you want to film them, just don't park up in direct firing line of the rocks.
useful information Sir
great video! well done! agree about the real LT and there higher tyre pressures eg 110psi not 60psi..
That was a really great episode. Relevant advice.
Great info.
(in a manual) if your vehicle stalls on your way up one of these hills, is it acceptable to "work the clutch" to get going/to the top. and is there a way to do so properly - not over revving, not overheating the clutch ect. Every scenario is different, if I had more hill ahead of me than behind me, I might try to reverse back down if I didn't think I could let the clutch out, wondering the rule of thumb for manuals.
TLDR. Manuals off-road - How to avoid ruining your clutch & what to do in emergency (even if it could/might damage your clutch)
Are you saying to not use any clutch at all even to start the car when reversing down? Thanks :)
Confused as well lol

No clutch needed, check out this video for a better explanation
That annoying background music makes this video very hard to watch.
What Teacher/Instructor will allow some Bogan in the BackRow play music while giving a Lecture?
Any tips for reversing downhill in an auto? I find myself unable to control my reverse speed when I don't have the brakes on.
We have a "how to descend" coming soon 👍
Isn't that Orkeny??? Blame Damo!!!
Haha certainly is!
