Try approaching most of these loose surface obstacles with more momentum. Plus when you have 2 vehicles you can always let one attempt and the other stays to pull you out.
As another Australian from Western Australia, its nice to meet someone who admits he doesnt have all the knowledge. One tip that JAMIE ATT said and I agree with him is to air down your tyres to 15 PSI or even lower, Dont go below 10 PSI as you run the risk of rolling the tyre off the rim. I carry two snatch straps, drag anchor chain, three compressors and there is a reason for the three as in the past and over many years, I have had two compressors fail on me. Dont drive in areas which are basically swamps because once you get stuck in a swamp , there is no chance of getting out, unless you have a back up vehicle to either snatch you out or winch you out. Keep going and keep learning. Experience through mistakes, makes you a more informed driver and knowledgeable. All the best from Western Australia in Perth - the most isolated city in the world. !
Refreshing video. It's nice to hear someone say, "I am not an experienced off-roader" as too many "Experienced" people try their luck, and blame other elements (but themselves) when things go awry. Definitely subscribing.
Haha! I get that! I'm just trying to figure this out! Learning, experimenting and having new experiences is what it's all about! Thank you!
Jason Koertge just air down. No need to go lowrange ! ride perfect in sand ! high range and low pressure in sand. Great films keep going
Wow, the quality of your videos is far ahead of some major youtubers, keep up that great work! I'm sub'd, not to mention awesome yota content.
Grayson McManus Thank so much for the kind words!!
we have a saying in Portugal:
There's two kinds of men.
The ones who are ruled by their wives and their are the liars...
perigotube ahhh!! Truth! Happy wife happy life! And I mean it! Mine is our family's queen and we love her dearly!
That's why it's easier to tap some other chump's wife
perigotube 😂😂😂😂
@@hollowpoint45acp only if you are immune to 45 hollow points, 357 hollow points, 12 guage slugs, machetes, etc.
I know BFG A/T KO2's are popular in this community, but when it comes to sand, snow and basic mud (read NOT swamp) they just don't clear debris from tread, almost regardless of how much foot you put in it. There was i time when I wrenched, did sales and service, and finally ran auto shops. The KO2's were heavier, thus escalating rolling resistance over every one of the competitors - a fact we saw in theory and were able to play out in various scenarios. In my experience, for a good number of years, the Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts and later the Revo and Revo2's were outstanding. Again, speaking of actual traction. Today, it is hard to beat the Goodyear Duratrac, as much as I used to dislike their hard co.pounds in the 80's and 90's. The tread design is good, and the rubber, while not up to the soft and sticky compounds of yesteryear, is far better than anything they built in the prior 20 years. Unfortunately, Goodyear took a political stance that I cannot and will not accept, so they will no longer outfit my four 4X4s. So it is back to the drawing board for me. It really sucks because I literally bought a brand new set of 5 Duratracs 5 weeks ago. SMH
Good call on the mud pass. Hate muddling and the countless hours getting that stuff off from underneath.
Love the perspective of a fellow inexperienced off-roader! I think it'd be really interesting (and informative) if you went through some of the things you tried out in these situations. Like if you engaged A-Trac, rear-locker, crawl control, etc. Learning through failure is a great tool and it would be useful to see the shortcomings of these different driver aides and where they are best utilized.
Good video man! I have the 2016 TRD PRO in Quicksand. Living in Florida I deal with a lot of mud and sand. Air down, Air down and Air down. 25 psi is what I do. IT WORKS! You get a bigger footprint especially with those KO2's that you are rocking. I use Nitto Trail Grapplers for my 4runner so far it works for me. Perfect decision you and Tyler made 2nd time around. That stuff is for the Jeeps. I know cause I go off roading all the time with my son who has a Jeep Wrangler and I just can't go through some of the insane stuff that he goes through, but my daily ride is 100 times better than his is:) Keep up the good work your gonna be a great off roader cause you have what a lot of people don't have. Common sense. Peace!
Joseph Smith yep! Will be doing more airing down in the future now that I finally got a compressor that can aptly handle airing back up!
Joseph Smith And yep - I travel a lot and put a lot of miles on the 4Runner. It's a fantastic daily driver. I like jeeps, but I wanted comfort and reliability. Thanks for the kudos!
I think one of the things that makes your videos so good is that you seem to be having genuine fun. It's always fun to see the Toyotas performing well, the crawl control has helped me in some rocks just this past weekend. I'm in an all stock white TRD Pro (with stock Terragrapplers) and I'm learning that the systems that Toyota has put in the vehicles like ours and the Tacoma actually are very helpful.
Keep up the great work with the videos man, can't wait to watch this channel grow. It undoubtedly will grow large if you keep the positive and fun attitude :)
Thanks for keeping it real and for the nice clear video. Thanks
You're seriously in need of a tire deflater and portable air compressor.. If you have had those two you would of made that soooo much easier... Rule of thumb, a pound of air for each inch of wheel and you're good...
Rick Carbs yep. Got all that. You'll see in later videos. ;) never heard that rule of thumb. Nice!
Toyota is awesome!!
Crawl out of the sand. Great
Great Blog man! Editing is so rad and love your music choices.
Thanks!
Really good call you both made regards the mud hole... Not fun when two vehicles get mired down! I really enjoyed your video techniques and various shot angles, I am not a Toy owner but you made off-roading fun... Cheers!
I see more people stuck in the sand than anywhere else. The key (like crawl control shows) is slow and steady to build momentum. Most 1st timers tend to panic/floor it straight to the frame
If you haven't done it already, you should build a tether for your GoPro. If the suction cups fail/release you don't lose it. Make it long enough that it doesn't drag on the road/ground and doesn't bounce against the body.
Aaahahahaha. Great minds.. great minds! Yep, after that incident, I've kept a paracord tether on it anytime it's mounted to the exterior of the vehicle. It's never fallen off since, but the tether keeps it a little more safe!
Are you turning off traction control? Also i would suggest a winch on a hidden winch mount and a pulpal if you're gonna go out by yourself. That way you don't sit in a puddle for hours waiting on a buddy that you woke up to come dig you out
Absolutely. Traction control was off, 4lo with rear diff locked. Luckily I called Tyler much earlier than bedtime, and a winch and pull pal would have been great! I didn't realize this was going to turn into what it did. Great tips! A winch is on the list!
Great video, my channel is dedicated to my 4th gen offroading and the mods along the way. Ive only been stuck once with it and after that I got the winch...money well spent as I've saved a bunch of people. I need to get into video editing like yourself. I'll subscribe to your channel and hopefully you can do the same.
For that first situation in the mud (minute 1:45)... your Maxtrax would have got you out of there in no time. I'm not that experienced but my Maxtrax get me out of almost every problem. Great videos!
That creek they chose not to try and cross is already dug out by trucks with tires a lot bigger than on the 4 runner. Not to mention it has water moving through it so it probably never dries up and has no bottom.
Jason your the man, great videos your awesome. Iam waiting for the 2020 Toyota 4runner, and I too I'm looking forward to go off roading yahoooo cheers
Great filming! This channel should be more popular.
Keep up the good work with the vids man. I love watching these.
Beautiful aerial shots! Keep it coming!
If this 4runner gets stuck my CRV might as well be abandoned if it goes into that 🤣
Great video, thanks for sharing! You said you are an inexperienced off roader, but you made a wise decision about that muddy crossing - it looked like it would have been tough to cross. One thing I'm trying to get better at is using momentum, specifically knowing right when to gas it and how much speed to carry into a hole like that. I keep getting stuck b/c I hesitate. Those trails you're on look like a lot of fun. Keep making these great videos!
Thanks! This is a learning experience for me, but having a blast! I think in this hole, it really is for the jeeps in the 35's! hahaha
Dan Recore That's awesome! I almost bought a grand Cherokee. Really love them.
thanks for the share ... makes me wanna hits some trails soon
rule one when four wheeling carry recovery gear and never go by your self, glad you got out but let this be a lesson
Great video, love the music!!! I understand the time constraints but with 2 rigs you could have easily conquered that obstacle. Using discretion is definitely a good idea but some of the most memorable things you will do is getting stuck and finding out how to get unstuck with a buddy! Experience is your friend so keep running the trails!
Thanks Jason, love your adventures and your tutorial.
Come on man!! You have a winch, MaxTrax and another truck....
W O W 😳
Sweet video! I really dig these new 4runners. I have a 1995 mitsubishi montero on 34" tires, and im trying to make it into a sort of overland rig once i get some money (17 year old in high school) haha. Im liking your vids dude keep it up! Subscribed!
Great video Jason! Bumsky about the gopro. Give Ram Mounts a try if you already haven't! They suck hard, in a good way.
I know they do... I've used them before! Need to get some!
You should do a series on drones! Maybe which are good at 3-4 different price points, and what kind of thought process you go through when choosing one and when you fly it
Doesn't look like you aired down for the sand test.. but you would need a 12v compressor and a bit of time to air back up to an acceptable psi after.
Great work on the editing and video work. I'm thinking about getting one of these to do some videos of exploring the outdoors by where I live.
Loving these videos and the commentary, keep up the great work. BTW, what front bumper is that on Tyler's Taco please?
He said it's a CBI Off-Road bumper.
No risk no reward! Go for it. Lol
That was such an awesome video
You should air down to 15-20 psi on sand and rock crawling. It will get traction better. I had no problem while driving in sand at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado and Pismo Beach in California last year with my 8,000 pounds 99 Chevy Suburban K1500 with 6" lifted and 35" mud tires. I have videos on here. You can checkout. I believe y'all should try Great Sand Dunes and free campsites in Preserve Park which is next to. I don't know if trailer could go but would love to see it. No longer than 14 ft trailer could make because narrow turns beyond the "no return of point" sign. Pismo Beach, u can pull trailer. Hundreds of RV goes there and camping. One thing in Pismo Beach if you want to drive in dunes, requires flag and pole. Rangers will be there and watching.
Hey hey! Another awesome vlog!! I recently learned the hard way about getting stuck as well, not fun, but good learning experience!
Might I ask why y'all used a plywood board when you have maxtrax? Just curious 👍
Keep the vlogs coming!!
Haha. Well the story of getting stuck in the mud happened before I got the maxtrax. I got stuck on a saturday, ordered the maxtrax that night, haha! Had them in by Wednesday, then Tyler and I went out the following Monday!
Thanks for linking the music and nice vid.
I just picked up a 2017 4Runner TRD off-road. where is that that you guys are driving? I live in the Savannah Georgia area and the terrain is very similar, but not many places around here to drive. Great vid btw, def subscribing
Do you have crawl control?
If so, use crawl control and let it do its thing. Check some videos out on how it works and when to and when not to use it.
Just goes to show you how easily you can get stuck! it don't take much so need to be careful through all obsticals & anticapite the worst.
Only an FJ Cruiser could have made it thru this sand!
The lesson, of course, is that no matter which truck, recovery gear, tires or suspension you have, lockers or not, aired up or down, you still gotta do what your wife says. Nobody can pull you out of that kind of trouble.
Do you have the differential locked? Also bringing all tires to 15 psi helps too.
Momentum is your friend. You got stuck because you didn't know when to punch it~ Then again that was some slop.
But ATRAC and the terrain management system is very impressive in sand.
Great video man. What part of Point Washington is that thick sand? I'm in Niceville and thinking about checking out PW one day.
Your tires are so much better than the taco street tires I'm surprised you dug so deep aired down right?
No, I wasn't aired down. These were just local trails I was playing on, I almost never air down on them since I'm usually just passing through. IF I'd have been aired down, had it in 4lo with the rear diff locked and atrac on, I might not have gotten stuck in the first place. But once I was stuck, I was stuck.
your trail edition 4runner, how many inch is the aftermarket lift??
3"
still look pretty close to stock ride-height. I guess if u want aftermarket lift to look obvious you gotta go 4" or more
What are your thoughts on max traxx when running through swamps. Maybe a giant fan they use on those boats.
I just got a used trd off road tacoma and I am new to off-roading.
I don't go too far yet as I don't have sliders or skids, or recovery equipment lol.
Also just subbed!
JoshuaBrah great vehicle to learn! Got my Tacoma trd offroad and it’s served me well. Soon you will be spending all you can on it!
Umbrace Titan I've already spent over $1500 on it lol but that's hardly anything really.
what's your tire setup sir? TRD offroad wheels look like they are sticking out. Spacers?
Very entertaining video!
May i bother you for information about the cargo net you have suspended in the back of your car? I would like to know what i need to buy to have that... very handy
James Qualls Yep! It's the attic from blue ridge overland gear.
Jason Koertge
Thank you sir!
You should've lowered the psi to about 18psi in all four tires to get more footprint and traction
Nice video, I've been following on IG for a while just happen to stumble onto the channel. If your ever in Florida let me know Ill take you to our trails that are similar.
Gluten cool thanks! We live in NW Florida.
airing down on sand helps a lot
hahhah fun times!!
2020 Should have bought a ION Camera .... makes the GOPRO LOOK LIKE NO GO ..... Redundant ..
What part of Florida is that?
Did you try using the crawl control when you were stuck in the muck?
Jaymes haha. Yea. There's a clip in there where you can see that. But I worked on it for a while off camera. It was actually my first time getting stuck. Came away with some knowledge!
Jaymes 0p
Is yours just a trail?
are those KO2 tires? what roof rack do you have? nice video n keep them coming.
l catalla yep. Ko2's. and it's an eezi awn K9 2.2 meter rack. Love it!
l catalla I also have ko2 tires on my 2015 4runner. They are a good tire for the winter. From Manitoba Canada!!
Is that a K9 rack? How do you like it? Videos are awesome! Keep them coming!
LOVE the rack! The finish seems to be crapping out though. But the rigidity and structural integrity hasn't skipped a beat yet!
Jason Koertge awesome to hear. I've got a CVT tent on some Thule rails at the moment but I'm working on the rack. not sure which to get but I really like those K9 racks. Is it actually 2.2m end to end?
Where did u get that sick 4Runner sticker with the new and old 4Runners
jack henderson Team4Runner. Too cool of a design to pass up.
Do they have a website? I'd like to order one of those for my 2016 4Runner? Thanks.
When in doubt, air down!
Where are you guys wheeling? I'm new to the panhandle, panama city, and dying to find some good trails. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Nice rig by the way!
Flat the tires in the sand. 15-20 psi.
What lift kit did you use?
OME 3" kit.
Hey Jason, did crawl control help any?
Nice video!
if you aired down to say 15 or 20psi you most likely wouldn't need crawl control in the sand. I've never gotten stuck in 20 years of beach driving and I don't even have crawl control anyway
A lot of what the issue was in this sand was that it was not only super loose and deep - it was uphill. I'm actually planning on returning to this hill in a later vlog and attempting it aired down to see how much of a difference it will make.
Jason Koertge Id love to check that sand out some time. Where in Point Washington is it?
This is like watching one of Casey's vids.....
Don’t like having gear living in the truck but ok making a call to inconvenience friends to come bail ya out. Cmon man.... Gear up or stay home. It may mean saving your own life or someone else’s.
Is that the crawl control making those clanking/grinding noises? Sounds like it’s breaking something in the gears
Mad Mudder yes it’s natural to hear that when cc is on
Very normal, since it works with the ABS...
Does you 4runner have kdss?
Are you guys still in the area? I’ve been in point Washington a couple times but never came across some of the spots in this video. If you are in the area still, drop a message on my channel somewhere. Would be cool to collab and team up on a trip sometime. We like to get out and camp and kayak and adventure.
I’m from Panama City , would you mind letting me know where the power line trails are located?
Is legal drive through power lines trails ?
Is that Ocala National Forest?
What size tires are you running?
Yo! 285/70/17 KO2's
Jason Koertge Hey Jason, what's the lift for 285/70/17?
Mine 265/75 on 16s
never wheel alone, air down, all that fancy electronic crap they sell you at the dealer is stupid....get lockers. my 3rd gen will destroy a 5th on the trail
locker and different tires will equal happiness. crawl control lol
Crawl control has gotten me out of a few messes, so I figured I would try here. Obviously didn't work! haha. I did have the rear diff locked, but a locking front diff, I don't think would have gotten me out of this one!
Tyres are fine
It depends on the pressure your running at and the driver
At 6:28 did you have the a-trac on as well? What speed mode of the crawl control did you use v
How about let some air out in the sand
The video is good and all but good lord could you have copied Casey Neistat's format any closer?
Offroading is not for you Jason
you don't know how to drive a toyota you better go home man
I went home after. Does that count?
Boo that was boring you were just pushing your gass and and pushing your breaks
I like it
I'm so confused.
