I once got peer pressured into a really deep mudpitt. Had to remove all my interior all the way to the chasse to clean up afterwards. I hated them for it
The worst mistake iv made was taking my girlfriend and 2 young children camping at our local 4x4 park which I was familiar with but hadn't been to for a couple months. I had a truck with 33 inch super swampers and was experienced. Didn't do anything crazy all weekend and even avoided my normal mud holes because I had no other trucks with me. Well on my way out right at the exit not more than 50 meters from the main gravel road I had a burst of excitement and went into a 10x 10 water puddle. Bad mistake. Water over the hood engine shut off and I had to carry all my family out in chest deep water. Someone chewed a huge hole in the middle of the main road. 2 kids in a stroller middle of nowhere we walked for 2 hours before luckily getting picked up. Never assume that puddle is the same depth as the last time you went through it. Cheers
in t/ville,mate comes in,in a hurry,says,quik,follow me,.we get to the spare ground we 4x4 on,he says let me drive,,o.k..he goes into this 3 ft deep 30 ft long water/mud hole,.goes back & forth 30 times,,i say,what da fk you doing,,he said,,making sure no toyota gets out of here..he was driving my lwb 8" raised f100...with a vengance..
My biggest mistake was when I first got a navara d40. Fitted it with mud tyres and thought it would go anywhere🤪. I got stuck and could get hold of anyone for a recovery. The Missus said she’d call her dad who I still hadn’t met. This is how the first time I met the father in law went. He turns up in a wrangler and comes over and says, “so you’re jimmy, do you do much 4wheeling?” I said “yeah” . He threw his snatch strap towards me and said “doesn’t look like it” then got in his car. He made the recovery and got out before I could, disconnected the strap from his car and said, “bring it around when it’s clean with 2 bottles of wine” then drove off. That year for my birthday he bought me some maxx traxx with “try these before you call me next time” written on the box. Later that year we did a trip to Broke Inlet where he got bogged in some sand. This was my time to shine!!! I ran up to his car with the still unopened box and said, “ you wanna see if these work?” Since then I’ve upgraded the navara to a 76 series and couldn’t be happier
Mobius -1 haha thanks mate, needless to say, we get along really well now. And sorry to hear about the no cruiser sales issue, plenty of good content on UA-cam with 70 series to get you fix though 😂
Thanks Ronny for these! I'd like to add that no matter how experienced you think you are you can get cought out. My good friend died crossing a river in Queensland when his truck got side-swept and turned upside down. He has been living off road for years and have crossed that river hundred times.. He just didn't know that a couple week earlier there was a storm and the bottom got a lot deeper. When he realized that it's much deeper than usually it was too late. THey found him almost a week later. Please take these tips to heart! 4x4 is about having fun - not riskiing your life!
Yeah...That rushing thing got me once. I got an emergency call (Get home right now, family emergency) and went down a trail doing about 3 times what I should have been. 2 hours later, at home, I found that my entire front suspension was effectively gone, scraped off by the highway after I broke the A-arm mounts bounding down the trail.
I saw a bad accident with a vehicle driving up another vehicles rear end because the following driver drove through and into the leading vehicles dust cloud and the vehicle leading had stopped to avoid an obstacle . I should tell you this was in my Army days and the two vehicles were two Leopard Tanks . Two 44 tonne vehicle collision ..... luckily no one was hurt
@@benjaminhigham3624 BTW ..... I wasnt the driver .... The gun which had been at 12 oclock was wrenched to the 9 oclock position by sheer force of impact stripping the teeth on the Turret Ring and throwing a track which resulted in a very heavy track link becoming a projectile nearly decapitating the Driver of the second Tank Moral of the story ...... dont drive in low visibility assuming she' ll be right .
@@parabelllum8733 I used to play World of Tanks and even I know that's not preferable lol. Glad it was fine though. Quite an expensive crash but less pricey and someones life.
I live in the Northwest territories and a friend of mine was following behind a big truck throwing up a big cloud of snow, he couldn't see the truck in front of him until he noticed faintly the brake lights he swerved into the ditch but caught the corner of the semi totalled his 1 ton van he's very fortunate to be alive God was looking after him that day... Rule of thumb I learn living in the Yukon with the gravel roads and all the dust or of the clouds of snow always stay back where is clear.... Slow down or stop until it is.... You never know if the vehicle ahead of you is stopped until your pile into him........
my worst one yet was a couple months after getting my first 4x4, i had crossed this river on a beach three times in a day, went a month later after heavy rain fall, and underestimated the depth and current, got stuck had to get out was removing rocks from udnerneath the jeep for a solid hour before luckily a family that was having a picknick was kind enough to offer help and we joined our two recovery ropes and they dragged me out, dodgy enough experience, when i opened the door water was coming in never thought id get rescued by a peugeot wagon on a beach , drove an hour back home soaked and freexzingd cold , good times
This video has sort of hit home for me. I remember about 35 years ago when I was around 10 or 11 years of age hearing of an accident that had happened to one of my dad's customers from his work shop. Apparently they were out four weeling in the Victorian high country somewhere and during a recovery the winch cable snapped (steel cables only back in those days) cutting him in half. As a young kid hearing that story it still plays on my mind when ever we are out with friends and have to do a recovery. I'm the one running around like a madman telling everyone to get out of the way before we start a recovery. I'd rather be too safe than not safe enough.
I see Torb's acting lessons are starting to pay off - the "throw your cap down in anger" scene was amazing! Move over Sir Lawrence Olivier - theres a new star in town! Only joking, good work as always fellas.
When ronny says put it in gear, put it in the gear oppisite of direction of travel. Pointing downhill put it in reverse, uphill put it in 1st. Especially if its a diesel
@@JHsadler if you point downhill and its in first and for whatever reason it decides to compress the engine can ignite. cant happen if its oppisite, if it somehow does it will not travel as far if it were in the gear related to direction of travel. it will compression lock itself.
Well, there are many engines that would get ruined by this, most vehicles have hydraulic chain tensioners so the timing belt or chain isnt tight enough before starting and it can ruin your timing and then your pistons are gonna meet valves. The chance of belt or chain getting loose is way higher if the engine rotates backwards.
usually when the hand brake doesn't work on landcruiser, you simply have to regulate tension on rear brakes, the same on 90 series, my handbrake after it is become perfect!
After watching many recovery videos involving water it seems to me that it would be most sensible to preattach the recovery ropes before entering the water. Or at the very least a shorter rope with the unattached end high above the attachment point where it can be retrieved quickly. And at BOTH ends. Even if panic wants to set in you save probably several valuable minutes not having to get the rope(s) out and attaching them to the recovery points.
I’ve only been out a couple times. But I got stuck next to the river the night before a massive flood. That was the end of that truck. It’s FULL of river clay . And another time I left my drop hitch on the back and alllllmost got hung up on a big rock but I got lucky and slid off. GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you for this priceless advice
In Burma I drove through 2 water holes, they seemed just like any other. However 1 was 6m deep, the other 12m deep. Now, fortunately, they weren’t full of water! Checking waterholes really can’t be overstated! Had we gone a month later..... well...... :) Thanks, another entertaining video ....
For your part 2! One of the worst offroading mistakes I've seen, which got us into a bit of strife on Fraser Island, having someone who didn't get the concept of backing trailers spotting someone in a tight spot backing a camper trailer. Give this person 10 points for effort, but gotta know your experience and your capabilities when spotting someone backing a trailer - fortunately someone with experience (not me haha) stepped in and we got out! But yea it is important when backing campers - it pays to have someone with experience spotting you
He used his own vehicle to demonstrate what not to do and took some damage from it to show you how dangerous it is.... "LIKED!" button smashed ... Respect! lol
Ronny I have seen many of your videos , this is the at most quality and awesome video of all. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts, experience. Life is not replaceable strong and true words. Love your hard work. Go hard mate ! Best wishes.
I appreciate the lesson. They are all based on common sense, and I completely agree with you about making a mistake that may cause you to lose confidence in going off-roading again.
Ben Howell nothing. I got half way along the Anne Beadell Highway just shy of Voakes Hill Corner, 38 degrees and not seen anyone for a week. 7am & having a coffee looking out into complete endless nothingness I thought to myself “fxxk! If anything happens to me now I’m absolutely fxxked”. I took my time but didn’t see one person in two weeks. I was a fool, absolute suicidal madness.
Man that's some scary shit. I got lost in outback Queensland for 2 days. Scared the shit out of me. Now I have a sat phone, epirb, paper maps and will not do the outback by myself, never again.
Great video! I may or may not be guilty of a couple of these. Deep water or mud is the worst. Especially when you find a sharp, broken muffler and tailpipe in the middle of the hole!
Great demonstration on the mistakes of using non-rated recovery gear. Last week I was using some 2" webbing while recovering a broken ATV. . It snapped after a couple tugs. Thankfully, no one was in the way but it could certainly have done some damage. Well done guys!
I have no idea why this channel doesn’t have 2M subscribers and 10k comments under each video. These are so helpful and information. To me, Rohnny Dahl is the Paul Harrell of off-roading. Good man. Unassuming. Informative. Honest. Funny.
Great and helpful video Ronnie, I should of had this a couple of years ago as a reminder LOL went into a bog hole blind and it bit me hard took 5 hours to recover and only possible by attaching 2 4x4s together to have enough weight to winch me out of my predicament @lways send my mates in first now 😁👍
Nice video Ronny. My worst mistake? Trusting that the workshop had sealed the snorkel that was installed. Deep river crossing in the Victorian high country showed up that workmanship flaw. Fortunately, we were able to winch out and there was no engine damage, it just stalled when the MAF got water on it.
G'day Ronny & Torb's Great video as always & some very bloody good points to think about & keep in mind when out on any adventure. The only piece of advice I have difficulty with & personally won't do is the one were you recommend always putting the truck in gear when parked with the handbrake applied & ignition off. This is good advice for Petrol & for the newer Diesel engines, However with the older Diesel engine were they have a manually operated cable to shut them down if these trucks roll & it does not need to be much they will fire up & go bush bashing on there own. Unfortunately I am speaking from experience, it''s as funny as now but back on the day it scared the crap out of me in the mad dash to catch the bloody truck & jump back on board without getting run over by my own flaming truck. LOL Anyway, fellas Safe Travels, Steve.
Very useful video. My worst mistake (to date) was not getting out of the Jeep to walk up a very steep mountain trail before trying to drive it. Also had my tires fully inflated. I kicked loose a boulder with the rear wheel and left myself perched where the Jeep could have easily rolled down into a canyon. Fortunately I had cell service and was able to call for a tow. The tow guys gave me a ride home, but they had to go back 5 days later with enough cable to get the Jeep off the mountain. Oh, did I mention I had no proper recovery gear. I now have the recovery gear. We’ll see if I learned to make better judgment next time.
I like to always have a backup plan for my backup plan. I try to anticipate what could go wrong and what I will do if it happens. This works wonders to completely remove panic from the equation.
Fabulous advice and video again Ronny, that intro is a serious problem but the way you guys showed it was bloody priceless, I pissed myself laughing, you made my day.
allways buy 5 tires,,rotate them every 3 months,regardless.that why,they all have the same tread depth,,not this keep a good spare bs..your tires will last longer,& if you have an lsd,it wont fk it when you use the ''new'' spare..
@@Ronny_Dahl ronnnnyyy... here a hint,,wouldnt it make sense,,hard to find in aus but we try,,,for every person that buys a 4x4,[ stiker ] vehicle,,& as they intend to use it..DO A FKN 3 MTH COURSE IN ''HOW DO I DRIVE MY 4X4''. what are the ratio,s what is low range good for,,what tires should i buy,do i need lockers,YES, are my 28" fk alls good enough to traverse the simpson, NO FK WAY. do i buy IFS,,YES,,IF YOU WANT TO DIE.
@@Ronny_Dahl recovery points,,my s/duty comes with 2, that you would think are thick steel bent sausages,from a pfaff crane..so,i stuk 2 on the rear..closer to the bbq..
@@Ronny_Dahl ruunny nose,, panic,,you have to have 1 person,,in charge,without question..on all recoveries..or anarchy steps in,,too many chiefs,no indians..
One of my worse mistakes is not budgeting enough time. I ended up driving tired, pushing on and that leads to making more mistakes. Like all of those that you mentioned in the video. Thanks Ronny!
You forgot with any tow rope/cable/etc - throwing weights onto the rope. Also, if applicable, raise the hood (assuming you have a metal hood and not plastic) to serve as an impromptu shield should the rope part. Had a nice dent in the hood of one truck for quite a few years from a cable parting and the metal finding metal.
@@jasonpen777 In an instance where you are being pulled by the nose, you generally have a good idea of where and how far you are going. That said, communication (horns mainly if no 2 way radios are handy) is key. Again though, *metal* hoods are required; plastic/carbon fiber etc i would not trust to stop a flying ball/hook/etc. Still, Weighted bags, or running the cable thru a tire is also needed.
WORST mistake I've made so far (still in my first year of 4x4 here) was "just sending it" into the deepest mudhole yet - in the back-backcountry, alone, without a winch, without reception my last thought was "this is a terrible idea and I'm going to regret it" but my confidence had grown so much that I just did it anyway ended up in a long saga of getting stuck overnight, lots of panic, a hike-out, and a hefty tow bill the only thing I can say in my defense is I was prepared with food, water, sleeping gear, and an emergency GPS (didn't use) plus fit enough to walk out and the tow truck drivers were impressed how much effort I put in trying to dig myself out alone (despite never making it) yea, learned my lesson there XD
Dad was a commercial pilot after his service as a ferry command pilot- his pet peeve was pilots who HAD to get to the destination no matter what. He always had a plan B and willing to "try again tomorrow", This goes long with your never panic or hurry. Good show . Try not to drive drunk- just cause your in the bush is no reason to screw up that bad. (ask me how I know) Once hit a sand berm so hard the hood flew up.. One lad suggested we should stop and put it down- when it flopped due to braking we were in front of a dynamite storage bunker.
Love you bro!!!... I have a 2016 Jeep renegade sport that is not being built for terrible terrain BUT adventure driving in the US. You are awesome about the things that may affect my trip. 💓 Keep your funny fanny going!!!
Good video !!! Miles of stuff out there a lot of it not to the point or points like this one ,even a seasoned offroader will take something away ...well done guys !!
Always check the density and dept of snow in Canada.... Broke 2 front axle joint not doing it while bringing coffee to workers stuck in a storm. I then had to get pulled and had to wait through the storm and slept in my jeep (while it was running) lucky i still had coffee from my delivery hahaha
My worst mistake... Picked up my first ever proper 4wd, a lifted 80 series, on the way to the VIC High country for a weeks camping. The truck was packed, no cargo barrier, and at least a couple hundred kilos of gear on the roof. We didn’t even get off-road until dark and lost GPS so we’re trying to use mud maps and hand written directions from a mate to his ‘secret spot’. Found a track that seemed to go where we needed to be and headed down. The missus was riding shotgun, and I remember looking over and seeing her ‘standing up straight’ with one arm out behind me. Struck me as odd at the time, but I was having a ball. When we got to the bottom, sure enough, we’d found my mates secret spot, they were all waiting at the end, mouths open. They’d seen our lights and were wondering who was stupid enough to be coming in that way. We’d just driven down the steepest fire trail in the area, in the dark, with a top heavy truck and a total rookie behind the wheel. Turns out the missus was holding back the hard gear we’d packed right behind the drivers seat. She reckoned it moved so fast when we started the descent it would have knocked me out if it hit me. Drove the track the next day, in daylight, and near shat myself.
When I was 17 I reversed down a boat ramp to do a burn out (well, try with my sluggish 6cl falcon). Revved up, dumped the clutch and shot backwards.!!!!!! Luckily not too far in the deep and got outta there fast..!! Ego damaged.
Good stuff and good advice. Our worst mistake wasn't even made off road. We were driving from Halls Creek to Kununurra during the wet and were travelling at night. With virtually no warning we hit a flooded creek doing about 80kph and the water became a huge screen that we couldn't see through. Lucky it was a straight crossing not one with a bend in it or we would have gone right off the edge. As we were in a borrowed Troopy it would have been even worse if we had.
Your vid is like the checklist in my brain before goin Bush mate! 24 yrs of solid offroading at hand too! may I add?. Ill always check out an obstacle and look for all my options before making the choice to commit or not and I've somehow managed to avoid anything bad from happening so far. Great vid mate👍 everything you've shown in this vid is EVERYTHING that P platers need to know before taking their 1994 gq patrol with 6 inch stainless snorkel and 35s or the slightly more clever ones in the 1994 stock 80 series cruiser should know! Just playing😉 but I'm serious on backing up the advice given here as these rules are the best and most important ones to know as a noobie to 4x4 offroading👍❤️🇦🇺
One tip I had which is sound I think is, if you're recovering somebody and you're using your front recovery point, is open the bonnet before you begin, that way if something comes flying off the truck you're recovering at you, the bonnet may just may absorb the impact and potentially stop serious damage to your truck or your person. This method relies on spotters at a safe distance to yell at you of course.
I use a wheel chock when parking on hills. I store it under the drivers seat. I toss my keys inside or next to it when I use it because, well, sometimes I forget the wheel chock.
Worst mistake, spotted a friend who was new to 4wd down a slippery muddy hill here in Bunyip. He made it down safely. I then hopped in my 4wd already had it in low range, drove to the edge. Stoppe right on the edge, put it in neutral (auto gearbox), did a final check that the track was clear or the radio, checked in with my spotter. And proceded into the decent by taking my foot of the brake....never put it in gear, let alone 1st.... as soon as I started, I touched the brake pedal and all 4 wheels locked up, I went skidding down the hill. Luckely I managed to yank the gearstick to 2nd, got the wheels rotating and regained control.
Sometimes you have to get your traction control right off to allow you to clear your tread. Many modern trucks also detune the engine if you loose traction. I once got seriously stuck due to being detuned to about 5 hp when I desperately needed power!
Great video. Ronny just for your part 2.. Probably worth further highlighting the danger of setting up sleeping arrangements in front or behind vehicles when not on flat ground. Also setting up soft sleeping shelters under larger overhang trees. Cheers
I'm still pretty inexperienced in offroading but mine was following my buddy too close and losing momentum going uphill on a slushy icy trail. He slowed down in front of me and I had to stop. Couldn't move forward anymore and had to backup a considerable distance and then got stuck doing so. Thanks for bearing with my drawn out novel.
All very good advice, have lost a GU to hand brake falure at a farm gate. Nothing like undoing the gate latch hearing a loud ping as the brake fails and watching the GU fly down a hill and into a creek. Aside from the cable snaping the GU has the best hand brake on the market. Driving Toyotas now and their system is very reminiscent of a HQ Holden from who nows what year, LOL. The one you didn't mention is, Hold my beer and watch this!.
Not scouting. I ended up high centered once, took 2 hours to get out. The other time was a really technical downhill that had a major off angle v notch and off camber decent. That one was easy for 80 % but after reading my line going slow and stacking rocks I made it out. I could've easily rolled and possibly died if I didn't think about it. I honestly thank the good channels like this one for giving me knowledge to use to make it out safe.
I drive off-road for a Mountain Rescue team, years ago when learning, I was been taught the failed hill start recovery technique by a British Army Instructor in a Land Rover Defender 110, we did all the usual checks, I put it in Reverse, he checked it was in reverse, checked centre diff lock was in, clutch up, Handbrake on. He talked me though the process, release the handbrake with your foot on the brake, and start her up. We did all that, and as soon as it started we hit a rock step and it popped out of reverse gear, and I had to freewheel and steer right back down the hill. I got to the bottom and he said well done, you didn't panic....if you'd have hit the brakes we would have probably rolled it! BTW Old Land Rover handbrakes are "interesting" as they work on the Propshaft, not the wheels and there is a seal at the back of the gearbox that leaks oil onto it...most LR owners have had that don't trust the handbrake experience!
Driving at dawn on a beach near Coral Bay. Hit some soft sand and just dropped to my diff. Rising tide, water starting to lap the wheels. I kept thinking about all the videos and photos of cars I have seen being swallowed by the ocean. Needless to say I panicked and couldn't seem to get my thoughts together. Luckily I had my mate in the car with me and some recovery tracks. My mate stayed calm and we managed to get it out. Hurt my pride and confidence. And thank God for great mates...
I just got an 05 4Runner and can’t wait to take it to the mountains. Gonna do a modest lift and some nice tires but that’s it. I’m not gonna do anything crazy. Maybe some extended breathers for the diffs? Idk yet, she’s stick but this info will help me keep her a while.
In regards to depth of bogholes. I was driving through a shallow puddle that was slightly iced over in a field one time. Not even 4 inches deep till I went into a massive tractor rut and my jeep dipped down on the passenger side to the top of my fender. Took a good yank to get me out luckily I wasnt going very fast.
Tyres, overall gearing make a huge diffence. 35s great for clearance. How quick does it rev. Change tyres on 79 to 32/33 inch tyres. You will be surprised, 79 towing tune will be usable. What do you use the vehicle for the most, towing, outback touring(no trailer), high clearance 4 wheel driving. Like the videos Ronny. Oh , I would seriously look at 4cyl auto if they bring in the Bundera shorty, swap to coil rear.
I think the 4wd course instructor I had the other week should pay attention to your videos!! Didn’t check the depth of a bog hole and got stuck then he wanted us to snatch the car out off its tow ball!!! I told him he’s dreaming if he thinks I’m doing that because I’ve watched your video of it going wrong.. the guy is Perth based too 🤦♂️

never thought id get rescued by a peugeot wagon on a beach , drove an hour back home soaked and freexzingd cold , good times
This video has sort of hit home for me. I remember about 35 years ago when I was around 10 or 11 years of age hearing of an accident that had happened to one of my dad's customers from his work shop. Apparently they were out four weeling in the Victorian high country somewhere and during a recovery the winch cable snapped (steel cables only back in those days) cutting him in half. As a young kid hearing that story it still plays on my mind when ever we are out with friends and have to do a recovery. I'm the one running around like a madman telling everyone to get out of the way before we start a recovery. I'd rather be too safe than not safe enough.
They'll say you are too safe until they come across one in person that snaps and scare the shit out of themselves, then they will thank you
Damn!
Worst mistake is leaving the beers at home right beside the ductape hehe bugger.great vid shags good advice cheers
You had a 69 comments. Sorry for making it 70
@@johnknoxville4304 hahaha gold bro
Lol. Beer can soothe many of the situations that duct tape can’t fix. Duct tape can fix many of the situations that beer caused.
@@Juicetheeunuch absolutely mate cheers to that
I see Torb's acting lessons are starting to pay off - the "throw your cap down in anger" scene was amazing! Move over Sir Lawrence Olivier - theres a new star in town! Only joking, good work as always fellas.
No acting there. Thats how I respond to Ronny getting us into camp in the dark
@TheJimmy who was - Torbs???
😆😆
@TheJimmy 😆😆😆
When ronny says put it in gear, put it in the gear oppisite of direction of travel. Pointing downhill put it in reverse, uphill put it in 1st. Especially if its a diesel
Why would it be harder to spin in reverse instead of forwards though?
@@JHsadler if you point downhill and its in first and for whatever reason it decides to compress the engine can ignite. cant happen if its oppisite, if it somehow does it will not travel as far if it were in the gear related to direction of travel. it will compression lock itself.
Well, there are many engines that would get ruined by this, most vehicles have hydraulic chain tensioners so the timing belt or chain isnt tight enough before starting and it can ruin your timing and then your pistons are gonna meet valves. The chance of belt or chain getting loose is way higher if the engine rotates backwards.
“If there are crocs around, don’t go in, you might be taken”. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
Me as american watching intro: "oh thats cool, ronnie has his friend driving this time. How nice"
I thought the Land Cruiser was going to roll backwards at the end.
Yeah, I was waiting for that. Ronny missed a great ending there
That would have been classic.
Best intro to date! 👌
A Russell Coight special that one!!!
That intro is pretty standard for any 70 series owner even when the hand brake is on 🤣
Allways leave in gear!
@@mattluszczak6567 shouldnt have to. i can park my 3t troll on near verticle hills with just the handbrake
usually when the hand brake doesn't work on landcruiser, you simply have to regulate tension on rear brakes, the same on 90 series, my handbrake after it is become perfect!
YES. 80k & no fkn handbrake,,why do people buy them..oh,forgot,the stupid exhaust note..nothing else..
And 60 owners too. And Tacoma owners. I’ve been both and both have had hand breaks fail.
After watching many recovery videos involving water it seems to me that it would be most sensible to preattach the recovery ropes before entering the water. Or at the very least a shorter rope with the unattached end high above the attachment point where it can be retrieved quickly. And at BOTH ends. Even if panic wants to set in you save probably several valuable minutes not having to get the rope(s) out and attaching them to the recovery points.
that,,if you join a club,,is std procedure..
Such a Russell Coyt moment at the start mate. That was hilarious
I’ve only been out a couple times. But I got stuck next to the river the night before a massive flood. That was the end of that truck. It’s FULL of river clay . And another time I left my drop hitch on the back and alllllmost got hung up on a big rock but I got lucky and slid off.
GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you for this priceless advice
My 1971 FJ40 had a terrible handbrake I made a wheel chock on a rope so I could drive off then reel it in
The acting is Russell Coight style love it bro
I drive a small mazda demio and don't even go off road. Found this video extremely interesting.
In Burma
I drove through 2 water holes, they seemed just like any other.
However 1 was 6m deep, the other 12m deep.
Now, fortunately, they weren’t full of water!
Checking waterholes really can’t be overstated!
Had we gone a month later..... well......
:)
Thanks, another entertaining video ....
For your part 2! One of the worst offroading mistakes I've seen, which got us into a bit of strife on Fraser Island, having someone who didn't get the concept of backing trailers spotting someone in a tight spot backing a camper trailer. Give this person 10 points for effort, but gotta know your experience and your capabilities when spotting someone backing a trailer - fortunately someone with experience (not me haha) stepped in and we got out! But yea it is important when backing campers - it pays to have someone with experience spotting you
He used his own vehicle to demonstrate what not to do and took some damage from it to show you how dangerous it is.... "LIKED!" button smashed ... Respect! lol
Ronny I have seen many of your videos , this is the at most quality and awesome video of all. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts, experience.
Life is not replaceable strong and true words. Love your hard work. Go hard mate ! Best wishes.
I appreciate the lesson. They are all based on common sense, and I completely agree with you about making a mistake that may cause you to lose confidence in going off-roading again.
My worst mistake is doing a solo remote trip without taking a sat phone or epirb. Never again.
What happened if you don't mind me asking? Might learn a lesson from you
Ben Howell nothing. I got half way along the Anne Beadell Highway just shy of Voakes Hill Corner, 38 degrees and not seen anyone for a week. 7am & having a coffee looking out into complete endless nothingness I thought to myself “fxxk! If anything happens to me now I’m absolutely fxxked”. I took my time but didn’t see one person in two weeks. I was a fool, absolute suicidal madness.
should have taken your mate Ben Doon...
@@Phil_McAvity We all gotta go sometime
Man that's some scary shit. I got lost in outback Queensland for 2 days. Scared the shit out of me. Now I have a sat phone, epirb, paper maps and will not do the outback by myself, never again.
Great video! I may or may not be guilty of a couple of these. Deep water or mud is the worst. Especially when you find a sharp, broken muffler and tailpipe in the middle of the hole!
Great demonstration on the mistakes of using non-rated recovery gear. Last week I was using some 2" webbing while recovering a broken ATV. . It snapped after a couple tugs. Thankfully, no one was in the way but it could certainly have done some damage. Well done guys!
I have no idea why this channel doesn’t have 2M subscribers and 10k comments under each video. These are so helpful and information.
To me, Rohnny Dahl is the Paul Harrell of off-roading. Good man. Unassuming. Informative. Honest. Funny.
Only BS channels full of crap with hyper exaggerated internet personalities get 2M subs
Great and helpful video Ronnie, I should of had this a couple of years ago as a reminder LOL went into a bog hole blind and it bit me hard took 5 hours to recover and only possible by attaching 2 4x4s together to have enough weight to winch me out of my predicament @lways send my mates in first now 😁👍
Nice video Ronny.
My worst mistake?
Trusting that the workshop had sealed the snorkel that was installed. Deep river crossing in the Victorian high country showed up that workmanship flaw.
Fortunately, we were able to winch out and there was no engine damage, it just stalled when the MAF got water on it.
Soooooooooooo lucky!
@@AlexandarHullRichter you're not wrong!
G'day Ronny & Torb's Great video as always & some very bloody good points to think about & keep in mind when out on any adventure.
The only piece of advice I have difficulty with & personally won't do is the one were you recommend always putting the truck in gear when
parked with the handbrake applied & ignition off.
This is good advice for Petrol & for the newer Diesel engines, However with the older Diesel engine were they have a manually operated
cable to shut them down if these trucks roll & it does not need to be much they will fire up & go bush bashing on there own.
Unfortunately I am speaking from experience, it''s as funny as now but back on the day it scared the crap out of me in the mad dash to catch the
bloody truck & jump back on board without getting run over by my own flaming truck. LOL
Anyway, fellas Safe Travels, Steve.
That was a very nice video to learn , I definitely going to subscribe !!!!! greetings from Denver Colorado 👋
I've been driving four-wheel-drives for over 40 years in OZ, can't agree more with your video, seen it all
Very useful video. My worst mistake (to date) was not getting out of the Jeep to walk up a very steep mountain trail before trying to drive it. Also had my tires fully inflated. I kicked loose a boulder with the rear wheel and left myself perched where the Jeep could have easily rolled down into a canyon. Fortunately I had cell service and was able to call for a tow. The tow guys gave me a ride home, but they had to go back 5 days later with enough cable to get the Jeep off the mountain. Oh, did I mention I had no proper recovery gear.
I now have the recovery gear. We’ll see if I learned to make better judgment next time.
Make sure that the spare tire is inflated and the same size as the rest of the tires
I like to always have a backup plan for my backup plan. I try to anticipate what could go wrong and what I will do if it happens. This works wonders to completely remove panic from the equation.
I agree with you on "Not relying on the hand brake", but disagree on the sequence. First use hand brake then put it on park to save transmission gear
Fabulous advice and video again Ronny, that intro is a serious problem but the way you guys showed it was bloody priceless, I pissed myself laughing, you made my day.
One of the bedt channel so far. Easy explanation, clear concepts. 👏👏👏
You have to put part 2 in the description if you get a chance, makes it easier to keep watching.
I expected this to be stupid but it was actually smart and informative. Well done.
Going out with a bad spare tire my worst mistake
and many others
allways buy 5 tires,,rotate them every 3 months,regardless.that why,they all have the same tread depth,,not this keep a good spare bs..your tires will last longer,& if you have an lsd,it wont fk it when you use the ''new'' spare..
@@Ronny_Dahl ronnnnyyy... here a hint,,wouldnt it make sense,,hard to find in aus but we try,,,for every person that buys a 4x4,[ stiker ] vehicle,,& as they intend to use it..DO A FKN 3 MTH COURSE IN ''HOW DO I DRIVE MY 4X4''. what are the ratio,s what is low range good for,,what tires should i buy,do i need lockers,YES, are my 28" fk alls good enough to traverse the simpson, NO FK WAY. do i buy IFS,,YES,,IF YOU WANT TO DIE.

I am a noob to this stuff thanks for the pointers. Im a great driver but can always use pointers as im not use to heavy off roading yet
One of my worse mistakes is not budgeting enough time. I ended up driving tired, pushing on and that leads to making more mistakes. Like all of those that you mentioned in the video.
Thanks Ronny!
You forgot with any tow rope/cable/etc - throwing weights onto the rope. Also, if applicable, raise the hood (assuming you have a metal hood and not plastic) to serve as an impromptu shield should the rope part. Had a nice dent in the hood of one truck for quite a few years from a cable parting and the metal finding metal.
That is a good idea, I never would of thought of that.
That does not sound like a bad idea, ty.
How do you see what you're doing?
@@jasonpen777 In an instance where you are being pulled by the nose, you generally have a good idea of where and how far you are going. That said, communication (horns mainly if no 2 way radios are handy) is key. Again though, *metal* hoods are required; plastic/carbon fiber etc i would not trust to stop a flying ball/hook/etc. Still, Weighted bags, or running the cable thru a tire is also needed.
Justin T Winch blanket is a must!
WORST mistake I've made so far (still in my first year of 4x4 here) was "just sending it" into the deepest mudhole yet - in the back-backcountry, alone, without a winch, without reception
my last thought was "this is a terrible idea and I'm going to regret it" but my confidence had grown so much that I just did it anyway
ended up in a long saga of getting stuck overnight, lots of panic, a hike-out, and a hefty tow bill
the only thing I can say in my defense is I was prepared with food, water, sleeping gear, and an emergency GPS (didn't use) plus fit enough to walk out
and the tow truck drivers were impressed how much effort I put in trying to dig myself out alone (despite never making it)
yea, learned my lesson there XD
Thanks Ronny. Have a great week!
Worst 4x4 mistake was only taking one spare on Gibb River Road and getting two flats (totally shredded).
Dad was a commercial pilot after his service as a ferry command pilot- his pet peeve was pilots who HAD to get to the destination no matter what. He always had a plan B and willing to "try again tomorrow", This goes long with your never panic or hurry. Good show . Try not to drive drunk- just cause your in the bush is no reason to screw up that bad. (ask me how I know) Once hit a sand berm so hard the hood flew up.. One lad suggested we should stop and put it down- when it flopped due to braking we were in front of a dynamite storage bunker.
Love you bro!!!... I have a 2016 Jeep renegade sport that is not being built for terrible terrain BUT adventure driving in the US. You are awesome about the things that may affect my trip. 💓 Keep your funny fanny going!!!
Good video !!! Miles of stuff out there a lot of it not to the point or points like this one ,even a seasoned offroader will take something away ...well done guys !!
Always check the density and dept of snow in Canada.... Broke 2 front axle joint not doing it while bringing coffee to workers stuck in a storm. I then had to get pulled and had to wait through the storm and slept in my jeep (while it was running) lucky i still had coffee from my delivery hahaha
My worst mistake...
Picked up my first ever proper 4wd, a lifted 80 series, on the way to the VIC High country for a weeks camping. The truck was packed, no cargo barrier, and at least a couple hundred kilos of gear on the roof. We didn’t even get off-road until dark and lost GPS so we’re trying to use mud maps and hand written directions from a mate to his ‘secret spot’. Found a track that seemed to go where we needed to be and headed down. The missus was riding shotgun, and I remember looking over and seeing her ‘standing up straight’ with one arm out behind me. Struck me as odd at the time, but I was having a ball. When we got to the bottom, sure enough, we’d found my mates secret spot, they were all waiting at the end, mouths open. They’d seen our lights and were wondering who was stupid enough to be coming in that way. We’d just driven down the steepest fire trail in the area, in the dark, with a top heavy truck and a total rookie behind the wheel. Turns out the missus was holding back the hard gear we’d packed right behind the drivers seat. She reckoned it moved so fast when we started the descent it would have knocked me out if it hit me. Drove the track the next day, in daylight, and near shat myself.
Great content. Thank you from a beginner.
That has got to be the best intro to any video I have ever seen haha!
Worst for me was, forgetting to air back up, And loosing a tire at 75 miles per hour on the way home.
Whoa 😳
Dam! Hope you were ok
Do you remember what PSI you were driving on?
@@mollyguap I had around 18psi
Man... Thanks for sharing you experiences. Congratulations for all of this knowledge
Great video mate it is so different in Vic we drive river crossings all the time way over bonnet with lots of current and there’s no dramas
Middle of a tough hill, reversing back to get a run-up, with all the nerves forgetting to change gear
With four less passengers the hill climb got easier from that point though 😋
When I was 17 I reversed down a boat ramp to do a burn out (well, try with my sluggish 6cl falcon). Revved up, dumped the clutch and shot backwards.!!!!!!
Luckily not too far in the deep and got outta there fast..!! Ego damaged.
Good stuff and good advice. Our worst mistake wasn't even made off road. We were driving from Halls Creek to Kununurra during the wet and were travelling at night. With virtually no warning we hit a flooded creek doing about 80kph and the water became a huge screen that we couldn't see through. Lucky it was a straight crossing not one with a bend in it or we would have gone right off the edge. As we were in a borrowed Troopy it would have been even worse if we had.
Your vid is like the checklist in my brain before goin Bush mate! 24 yrs of solid offroading at hand too! may I add?. Ill always check out an obstacle and look for all my options before making the choice to commit or not and I've somehow managed to avoid anything bad from happening so far.
Great vid mate👍 everything you've shown in this vid is EVERYTHING that P platers need to know before taking their 1994 gq patrol with 6 inch stainless snorkel and 35s or the slightly more clever ones in the 1994 stock 80 series cruiser should know!
Just playing😉 but I'm serious on backing up the advice given here as these rules are the best and most important ones to know as a noobie to 4x4 offroading👍❤️🇦🇺
Thank you Ronnie. Lot of pointers there.
One tip I had which is sound I think is, if you're recovering somebody and you're using your front recovery point, is open the bonnet before you begin, that way if something comes flying off the truck you're recovering at you, the bonnet may just may absorb the impact and potentially stop serious damage to your truck or your person. This method relies on spotters at a safe distance to yell at you of course.
I use a wheel chock when parking on hills. I store it under the drivers seat. I toss my keys inside or next to it when I use it because, well, sometimes I forget the wheel chock.
Good to see you have upgraded from your maxtrax wheel chock/handbrake to some proper wheel chocks 👍👍
Worst mistake, spotted a friend who was new to 4wd down a slippery muddy hill here in Bunyip. He made it down safely. I then hopped in my 4wd already had it in low range, drove to the edge. Stoppe right on the edge, put it in neutral (auto gearbox), did a final check that the track was clear or the radio, checked in with my spotter. And proceded into the decent by taking my foot of the brake....never put it in gear, let alone 1st.... as soon as I started, I touched the brake pedal and all 4 wheels locked up, I went skidding down the hill. Luckely I managed to yank the gearstick to 2nd, got the wheels rotating and regained control.
Great lesson for others
Great intro 😂 great video Ronny pointing out the most common mistakes 👍🍻
Sometimes you have to get your traction control right off to allow you to clear your tread. Many modern trucks also detune the engine if you loose traction. I once got seriously stuck due to being detuned to about 5 hp when I desperately needed power!
That last wheel chock was awesome!!! LOL!!!
Great video.
Ronny just for your part 2.. Probably worth further highlighting the danger of setting up sleeping arrangements in front or behind vehicles when not on flat ground. Also setting up soft sleeping shelters under larger overhang trees.
Cheers
That intro made me smile. Good job
That intro was literally hilarious, it’s staged but at the same time you let it go so much further than I thought you would have 😂✊🏽
Great video... as a novice I really appreciate your videos.. thanks
I'm still pretty inexperienced in offroading but mine was following my buddy too close and losing momentum going uphill on a slushy icy trail. He slowed down in front of me and I had to stop. Couldn't move forward anymore and had to backup a considerable distance and then got stuck doing so.
Thanks for bearing with my drawn out novel.
One thing I was told was to never Panic. When people panic, thats when things go wrong and people get hurt
All very good advice, have lost a GU to hand brake falure at a farm gate. Nothing like undoing the gate latch hearing a loud ping as the brake fails and watching the GU fly down a hill and into a creek. Aside from the cable snaping the GU has the best hand brake on the market. Driving Toyotas now and their system is very reminiscent of a HQ Holden from who nows what year, LOL.
The one you didn't mention is, Hold my beer and watch this!.
Not scouting. I ended up high centered once, took 2 hours to get out. The other time was a really technical downhill that had a major off angle v notch and off camber decent. That one was easy for 80 % but after reading my line going slow and stacking rocks I made it out. I could've easily rolled and possibly died if I didn't think about it. I honestly thank the good channels like this one for giving me knowledge to use to make it out safe.
I drive off-road for a Mountain Rescue team, years ago when learning, I was been taught the failed hill start recovery technique by a British Army Instructor in a Land Rover Defender 110, we did all the usual checks, I put it in Reverse, he checked it was in reverse, checked centre diff lock was in, clutch up, Handbrake on. He talked me though the process, release the handbrake with your foot on the brake, and start her up. We did all that, and as soon as it started we hit a rock step and it popped out of reverse gear, and I had to freewheel and steer right back down the hill. I got to the bottom and he said well done, you didn't panic....if you'd have hit the brakes we would have probably rolled it!
BTW Old Land Rover handbrakes are "interesting" as they work on the Propshaft, not the wheels and there is a seal at the back of the gearbox that leaks oil onto it...most LR owners have had that don't trust the handbrake experience!
Land rover s3 88 owner here.
And i agree on the handbrake part lol.
Mine started leaking trought the output seal.
I own a defender 90. As for oil on the hand brake. Been there done that changed the seal
I had an old G60 Datsun./ Nissan and they had the same handbrake but luckily for me mine was leak free and worked a treat.
The Russel Coight homage at the beginning of this video is priceless!
Driving at dawn on a beach near Coral Bay. Hit some soft sand and just dropped to my diff. Rising tide, water starting to lap the wheels. I kept thinking about all the videos and photos of cars I have seen being swallowed by the ocean. Needless to say I panicked and couldn't seem to get my thoughts together. Luckily I had my mate in the car with me and some recovery tracks. My mate stayed calm and we managed to get it out. Hurt my pride and confidence. And thank God for great mates...
I just got an 05 4Runner and can’t wait to take it to the mountains. Gonna do a modest lift and some nice tires but that’s it. I’m not gonna do anything crazy. Maybe some extended breathers for the diffs? Idk yet, she’s stick but this info will help me keep her a while.
Getting Drunk. Falling asleep in your fave camping chair. At the water's edge. At night. In croc country.
Love your trips and videos! Excellent tips and commentary, great use of dummies too, had me fooled the first few shots🤙🏼
In regards to depth of bogholes. I was driving through a shallow puddle that was slightly iced over in a field one time. Not even 4 inches deep till I went into a massive tractor rut and my jeep dipped down on the passenger side to the top of my fender. Took a good yank to get me out luckily I wasnt going very fast.
Wow great video ! I love the live examples you give
Dude! Best intro EVER!
Thank you!
Tyres, overall gearing make a huge diffence. 35s great for clearance. How quick does it rev.
Change tyres on 79 to 32/33 inch tyres.
You will be surprised, 79 towing tune will be usable.
What do you use the vehicle for the most, towing, outback touring(no trailer), high clearance 4 wheel driving.
Like the videos Ronny.
Oh , I would seriously look at 4cyl auto if they bring in the Bundera shorty, swap to coil rear.
Hey Ronny your such a Character mate,never seem to surprise us,another great vid,Always learning something new from you keep up the great work.
I walked an entire trail at an event before running a Jeep trail in my 2wd VW Thing. It was well worth it and I even caught it on video!
I think the 4wd course instructor I had the other week should pay attention to your videos!! Didn’t check the depth of a bog hole and got stuck then he wanted us to snatch the car out off its tow ball!!! I told him he’s dreaming if he thinks I’m doing that because I’ve watched your video of it going wrong.. the guy is Perth based too 🤦♂️
