I cannot express my gratitude enough about the educational 4wd content you create. I am from Mexico and I was looking for spanish language content but ever since I found your youtube channel I stop looking. The way you deliver the points in your videos makes easy to me to understand even though the language barrer. The modified series have given me tons of good ideas too. Thank you for making me enjoy 4wheeling much more!
Fun fact: Ronny parked one vehicle at the beach then walked home to bring the other!
and in that time, the tide didn't come in ??
@@brentmcd12 Nope. He checked the tides and took a screenshot 17:14 😅

Great video Ronnie, just what I needed for this weekend at the beach ⛱️
This, and part two, are the videos I've been waiting for! All the key sand driving advice concisely presented and delivered in one, or two, packages! Great 'go to' refreshers for the occasional sand driver, or newbies too! Love and appreciate your work Ronny!
Thank you for putting these together!
You are the best man. Thank you for posting and sharing your knowledge
Great video for first-time sand drivers. Thanks!
Perfect tips as always Ronnie. I recently had a brutal experience in the Coorong getting bogged non-stop for hours. Was at 13psi because I had 20 inch H/T’s and was told I shouldn’t go lower. Nonsense!!. Got off the beach 6 hours later at 8psi - tires were like pancakes, but worked!
You go as low as it takes to get you out.
Thanks for the video Ronny, I'm new to 4wd and this video has explained alot of my questions I had before I go out on the beach. Thanks for giving me the confidence to go out and do it and learn more skills.
Always great content, thank you much, mate!
First class tutorial Ronny, as always. This video should be compulsory for all new 4wd buyers.
Good man Ronny and great tutorial. I'm working up the courage to take my 4wd on the beach. Thanks for the tips.
Great video Ronnie! Gonna help me a lot as a beginner for 4WD. Keep it up. Cheers
Fantastic real world advice as usual. Well presented, if the beach is busy, like a highway, be very cautious about oncoming traffic and other people/vehicles parked
Excellent content. I really love your videos dude, they are always so informative and to the point. Thank you.
Well explained Thank you 👍🏻
This is really helpful thank you for sharing knowledge 🙏🏼
Great video mate. Cant wait to get out on the beach for our first time, thanks for the tips👍
Great content as always Ronnie. Something I reckon would be good to add is beach driving courtesy as well. Things we can do to make sure everyone has a nice day on the beach.
Great vid Ronny, my wife doing sand driving courses in 2 weeks. She is not confident on the beach. Showed her your video and now she has a good idea of what to expect and is looking forward to it👍
Hope some day this will come handy. Thanks for the tips. 👍 Cheers. 🍻
Top vid Ronny, cheers mate
Thanks Ronny great advice
Sending my regards to you Ronny, big fan all the way from Miami, Florida. Always great content ! (Learned a lot thanks to you ) bought my 99’ dodge Dakota 4x4 , applied the knowledge you’ve provided and I have a blast . Also, super funny describing what to do as people in the background are digging their self out 😅
Great video, thank you Ronny.
I like your explanations. I believe I was able to understand. Thanks.
This is probably the ONLY in depth tutorial about sand driving! I'm a complete novice when it comes to sand driving simply because I've done it here in VIC. But moving over to WA soon will give me plenty of opportunities to learn. Cheers for this mate
Awesome video, watched it twice as I’ve never been 4x4 on the beach before. Thanks for producing informative content for all of us
Great advice Ronny!
Great tips. Living in the south West of wa beach/dune driving is all I do. Usually go straight down to 12psi always have max tracks etc with me its amazing how many people get bogged as they have no idea!!!
This is premium content. THANK YOU
Thanks for sharing!
Good tips mate. Good prep video for my Simpson trip.
Thanks mate. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Great stuff, as always. What I was taught north of Luderitz on the dunes was, a) make sure the wheels are pointing straight by giving the steering wheel a bit of leeway initially and, b) mud tires are generally very good because the tread pattern makes very little difference and the stronger sidewalls allow much lower pressures. I find 1/2 bar about right.
Just did Stockton beach dunes. Really enjoyed it. With the correct driving and tyres pressures you can relax and enjoy.
Great video! awesome tips! this also applies to desert sand cruising, with few more tips with gearing in auto
I don't live anywhere near a beach but Ronnie's advice is always welcome.
Thank you, this will be super usefull on my local tracks! I use wood planks with my Disco 1, but will buy those maxtracks. All of the other stuff I can confirm, must have. At least the spade and compresor (some of the cheap ones can serve as a deflector as well). Also, some situations on low gear I find that it is good to go on a higher gear if you have the torque available, ie diesel, less wheel spin. Great content, thank you Ronny!
Inspirational... Thanks "4x4 Ronny" now i know
I wish I watched this video a few hours ago before driving my new Jeep on the beach. I would’ve been a lot less stressed! Thank you for this content, it is so helpful!
Awesome video. I’m new to 4WD and going to Fraser soon so total novice and this video covered everything.
Cheers for the tips mate I utilise these on my trip to moreton and had great success thanks 👍
Great tips! Keep up the good content mate
Great tips! Thank you!
Great content. Thank you from Tunisia.
Very well done Sir.
You are the number one man,l taught you well. I haven't got bogged in sand yet but your tips will come in handy. I do carry a sand anchor and maxtrax the same as yours just in case.😁😁😁
very interesting this video with many tips thanks for sharing 😍
even for your high level this is a awsome video. thanks
Was taught 15 psi when sand driving. So that's what I always used. Didn't know most of this when I started beach driving, thanks youngblood, even though I didn't do much, just whenever I was going fishing ( Stocton Beach Newcastle)
Very informative video thanks bro
Thanks for sharing and doing these wonderful videos . I run a 2008 wrangler 2 door 6 speed manual on 35's. As Im a logger here in the US. I run into sand especially driving down the middle of creeks with huge sand and gravel bars because the banks are to steep to just drive across. These videos have really helped me Alot. Also that's a kickass shirt you were wearing. I usually hate anything with writing on it shirt wise... But that shirt is just pretty dam cool. Keep up the great work and safe fun filled travels.
Great vid Ronny, super comprehensive and very helpful mate. Hopefully the amount of recoveries we have been doing around Australia might decrease haha! helped a bloke out the other day on the Eyre Peninsula that was very bogged in his Prado, dropped his tyres right down and he walked out, he then asked me if I could pump his tyres back up as he had no compressor and he also didn't have any beers :(
Crikey, I hope they said they're buying a compressor.
@@Malc664 or at least some beers lol
well done Keelan, no beers !
Good tips and thanks from us all that pull others out many times mainly due to tyre pressures, but.... you need to talk about traction controls on most new 4wds these days. Traction controls working well in high range may bring you undone, maybe talk about Power mode manual and eco mode as most 4wds are auto, also the infamous long press of the traction control button. Maybe a whole video on this one Ronnie.
Great video mate! hell you encourage me to take the lil jimny places where i never imaged it would go, cheers! salute from Cancun
I wish I found this before I went to Pismo the first time. I still never really got stuck but there are a lot of good tips.
Ronnie the 79s new look is freaking crazy cool 😎 my family absolutely loves your channels. Good day to you and torbs fro west virginia. 🇺🇸.
I've been watching you videos recently and today you earned my sub. Thank you for putting together a good channel to watch.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks! Just yesterday mentioned that i haven't experience in sand driving 😄. In my region is only mud or snow.
Good stuff. One more that drives people nuts when someone is bogged blocking a track. It's implicit in your smooth inputs advice and all the footage ever of you driving. Burnouts don't unbog you. Love the sound of the chipped V8 and the fat exhaust but save the fun for out in the open and not holding everyone up for a further hour because you're now sitting on the chassis rails.
Very Nice tips. Hi from Brazil.
Good to hear someone talk about going below 12psi, most are afraid to go down there just keep straight take it easy and go to 8psi will make everything much easier on very soft sand
some good tips !
all good info thanks Ronnie. driving in tracks, somebody told me if the beach track has tyre ruts, let go of the wheel and allow the wheels to follow the ruts. is this good practice?
Nice advice Ronny , get your tyre pressures right in the first place and thats half the fix . I never get my pressures right , i'm too scared to go too low but i end up getting bogged so go low before to suit the particular beach . Follow the tracks of others but the big 4WDs don't lower their pressures much and leave big ruts which you can get stuck in them as i found out the hard way :-)
Mate, awesome vids. Love your work. Lobby Netflix for your own show people will pay for it.
Good to see you helping Ronny @ 1:25. I'm sure they're subscribers now😂👍
Great vid well done, however tip 7 parking on the beach, depending where your from, rules may be different, You should park on the soft sand facing up towards the dunes or down towards the water, this way for on coming vehicles it is very clear you are parked and they will slow to check for people walking around.
very good content, subbed !
Nothing beats experience
Thanks for rhe videos, great content as usual. Can I ask what app for tides do you show in the phone on the video? Cheers!!
Yep it's all about low tyre pressures. Once I learned that it's been easy. I use around 10 psi to 14 psi and my D40 Nissan Navara pads along like a 🐫 ... and that's with relatively skinny but tall 215/85R16 AT's
Hey Ronny. Great tips and advice as usual. I will definitely remember that, next time I go to the beach. But now I have a question about driving on sand with an automatic gearbox and a turbo engine. What do you think about using the "snow mode" for sand, or for offroading in general? I have tried it, and I think, the car is not as "jumpy" as in normal mode, or even "sports mode". When using the "sports mode" the car wants to "jumpo" forward, as soon as the turbo kicks in. That has caused me already several "brown pants" moments, when driving up a very steep hill. IN "snow mode" the engine is a little sort of castrated. Do you think, that will be helpful on sand or other offroad situations? Or maybe it was just a funny coincidence. In fact, I had "brown pants" moments enough. I don't need more of that. Another question is about this "hill decent control" on steep sandy hills. Do you think it's helpful, or might it be even counter productive? I'm waiting fopr more of your extremely educational videos. Thanks for sharing all that stuff.
Awesome video Ronny- very useful, particularly gear changing on a manual. 79 looking mint!
Thanks! For making this one, you are a legend. Just a silly question do we have an app for checking the tides?
Ronny, were you in the south west Margaret River when you first got bogged? great video and looking forward to part 2. what roof platform did you put on the Luxi and are you happy with it
I should watch your video before I went to the Beach😁 (not much options for beach driving here in VIC)
What about Traction control? Should you switch it off? Great tips 😊
Ronny, great content, do you have any videos on 4 wheeling in the snow? I live in Colorado which is land locked in the United States .
Hot tip #1: If you have a TPM (Tyre pressure monitor) setup which is damn handy, they usually come with valve caps that read the PSI, when i get to the beach i loosen all 4 and each tyre deflates while i can see in real time on the display the pressures and then i just nip them back up. Absolutely handy! Hot tip #2: Petrol 4x4 for sand ;)
🇦🇺Great information mate.🇦🇺
Ronny would u do a product review for the Bogout rope system? Seem like a good cheap thing to carry however cant decide if wud work with a non locked vehicle. Do i need to buy one for both wheels?
I used to see a lot get bogged in 4wds on the dunes out at Stockton when they'd try to come back a gear going up a dune. Would lose all momentum. Best to back up as you say. Can be difficult picking the right gear.
5 things you NEED to go 4x4 driving , mobile phone ..😁😁😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣..Bahahahaha , now I have heard it all .!!
Great video, are diff locks any good on sand?
Great vid Ronny! Did I miss the 79 reveal? The glimpses of it look great!
Not yet released mate but soon it will be
Oh and one more question. When I know the sand is going to be very soft I lower the pressure to about 15-14psi. but at one beach the road in from the parking lot is bits of gravel and some old bitumen but only for short distances. Also just before the beach entrance I encountered some washouts and deep holes on the track. Is it better to only lower the tyre pressure to lets say 18 and then when on the beach lower it further to my 14psi?
I see the 79 has got superior engineering suspension 🤩🤑💯💪
Hey mate always wondered while watching your videos the arm rest thing on the 79 where can one get one or is it a Ronny special
Fuck mate the quality of your vids has shot through the roof in the last 2 years. You pretty much taught me how to drive on sand back then, this refresher will be shared to my family and mates. Cheers Ronny 👍🏻
Ronny mate. Please review the 300-series LC!
Crackin vid Ronny, The day we don't make a mistake is the day we don't learn anything. When you were parked on the 'track' near the water, how careless were those clown that hooned past you? My number one rule in those situations is when you see a car parked up is to drop the speed and keep an eye out for little runners. What do you think about the idea of popular beach areas ie Lancelin Dunes or Horricks/Geraldton having a dedicated UHF channel for their area, with UHF's now being 80 channels assigning areas a certain channel would help with safety. Cheers for the informative clip
Hanging out for a trip video Ronny..
When WA opens up in 2023 maybe. 😁
@@2157AF if you live here it’s open. Nothing stopping any of us travelling in the state.
Really great, informative vid. While I live in the USA, this information translates perfectly to beach overloading everywhere. I'm currently prepping my 2018 Jeep JLU Rubicon for overloading and surf fishing. This instructional vid provided invaluable information for my physical and mental preparations and planning on how best to tackle this type of terrain. Cheers, Ronny!
I'd love to go drive & be on the beach, but it's a few degrees *BELOW* the freezing point right now! Yeah, I'm in the States & some snow fell last night. Everything is white outside! ❄❄ Good tips, Ronny! Mostly common sense...but as we all know, common sense isn't so common anymore! 🤷🤔
Thanks! I know my beach and do not air down for it as i have a short 2 mile run. I do not drive on the wet sand by the water cause i am afraid to get bugged down there. Could you talk about choosing a path on the beach in more detail?
Does the Hilux lock into a gear or does it limit the highest geat the transmission can change up to? On the Y61 it's a gear limiter. Took me a while on my desert first trip to work that one out!
I have a Full size Bronco I bought to upgrade for off road after I had some suspension long travel on Kinng shocks I had to see how it did in the dunes. I had been in sand before on dit bikes & 4x4 toyotas one with a built motoe & kicker did pretty well living atK38 for a summer surfing a lot made my backside wave surfing bettter for sure at a right point break. After surfing do many so often I spent some time surfing some nice big swells at San Miguel ABREAK THAT PROVIDES BIG FREIGHT TRAIN RIGHTS LONG STEEP SHOULDERS & BARRELS FAST STEEP WIRH GOOD POWER & WHEN IT IS BIG ENOUGH IT CAN BE MADE INTO THE BIG COVE WHERE THE WAVE KEEPS GOING ALONG ALONG THE THE PATH IT JUST KEEPS ON INTO IT FOR A LONG WAYS
What is your car wrapped in,great vid Ronny cheers
