Re: Dune driving
One of the best, its a petrol afterall.
I love sand driving but dont like to rev the bakkie to bits to use it like a quad, chasing high inclines.
Just the older Diesels that dont have a rev range like petrol...

Re: Dune driving

Re: Dune driving
Hi Bosvark,
I had a 4Y 2.2 Hilux and used to drop my tire pressure to 1 bar for general beach driving.
Will you not have any problems with sand between the tire and the rim if you drop them to 0.6 bars?

Re: Dune driving
Hilux junkie jy gaan 99% van die duine ry wat die groot ysters ry. Die groot geheim is jou band druk en ek stem saam met Bosvark dat as jy regtig moeilike duine het blaas die bande af tot 0.6 bar.
Ek ry challenge duine wat mens in die voet van die duin moet stop in 2 de rat low maar normale klim en ry gebruik ek 1 ste rat high.

Re: Dune driving
By all means drop the pressure to 0.6 bar, whatever you do, just dont make any sharp turns, the tyre will debead for sure, if not you will end up with sand between the tyre and the rim. Been there, done that. :)

Re: Dune driving
Kaspaas ek wonder wie was nog nie daar gewees met die band aftrap storie nie. Dit het al ook met my op verskeie geleenthede gebeur met 245 bande maar nog nooit met 265 bande nie. Ek gebruik 'n ou brand blusser waarmee ek my bande pomp en as so iets gebeur dan is dit letterlik net 3 sekondes se pomp dan ry ek weer. As ek sand duine ry gebruik ek normaalweg 0.8 bar en dan loop die bande sommer lekker op die sand en die 2.4 sukkel dan nie so erg om weg te kom nie .

Re: Dune driving
Ek het ook die 2.4 petrol, as die sand baie dik is, dan maak ek my voorste tyres 0.7 bar en die agterste 0.6 bar....dan loop hy lekker op die sand.

Re: Dune driving
7MGTE jou ou spogter ek wil sien hoe jy die duine aandurf met daai harde bande...
Grips dink jy dis die vrou agter die stokke of is dit die voertuig waarmee sy gery het :) Ek sou geniet het om te sien hoe 'n Hi lux sand opskop.
