How long is a piece of string?......

Drive it the same way as you did the diesel, but 3000 rpm higher in the rev range

I did some sand at the weekend. I played around with 2wd, and then 4high and 4low. I NEEDED 4low. But admittedly i was straining the vehicle by not letting the tyres down, it was justa short easy sand track. But 4low made a massive difference over 4high. and with 2only I stopped dead after about 10m!

thanks, haha yeh, tried 2wd with 42psi (was not happy the tyre shop put that much pressure in) stopped dead

But start with running about 16-14psi in your tyres, and if you can't do it in high first, go back to low second.

sweet. Sorry to hijack someone's thread, but on the same subject, how do you get out of the ruts on a sand track? is there a trick to getting out of them, steering just ignores me the way I'm doing it.

thanks for the advice low second in the super soft stuff seems like the way 2 go

i know people are gona hang shit on this, i origionaly found it when riding quads with a passenger, but i found it works in cars to.

build ur revs up
turn into the side of the rut you want to exit on
drop the throttle.
lightly stab the front breaks, full lock on the wheel
off the breaks and stomp the throttle (and hold it)!
realy quickly

the idear is that while ur driving along the weight transfers to the back wheels, when u stab the breaks it quickly moves to the front, and the front end digs down, u then drop the breaks, re-apply the throttle witch transfers the weight to the back again this in turn lifts the front, while stabbing the breaks the front has dug downabit and made itself a groove to lock into.

its kinda like a scandanavian flick, but up and down rather than left and right!

Sounds like a great way to roll your car to me.

Don't ever come to fraser. We've got enough fucktards rolling their 4bys already up here and drawing the attention of greenies and cops.

^^ w0w, was that your first decent post in ages.

i do a similar thing when changing directions, eg coming off a beach run with ruts & into an exit up in the dunes... no brakes as you loose momentum, but loading up the rut & buttoning off & then dialing on lock & getting back on the gas hard works for me everytime....

if the beach is really rutted out & you cant get it to climb the ruts or the beach has a fair slope on it. you can get out & where you want to exit, stamp the sand with you feet compacting the sand to make a little "exit" rut crossing the existing ruts works a treat, use that bridging rut as a berm & away you go.

I air down to 7psi on 235 muds, i have not rolled a tyre of the bead yet (on sand ) yet. When i get stuck in a sand rut, i will generally, drop a gear, to loose some speed, and just turn out of it , it works on our beachs over here, not sure how different your beachs are or what size ruts you are talking about.

I normally use, 4h for the flat stuff and 4L for dunes, i would use 4h more, but the gearing is messed up and doesn't have the grunt for 4H in the dunes...yet

SSSIERA: I second what fatzook said, great way to get your roll, on , i know cus, i have come close a few times, from doing similar to what you said.
