Fundamentals of Vehicle Recovery: 1. Training is the most important investment in vehicle recovery. Find an I4WDTA trainer, local 4WD club course, or premium .gov/military/civilian program like Overland Experts and get trained. It pays enormous dividends in keeping you and the vehicle safe. 2. Stop as soon as the vehicle fails to make progress. Getting unstuck is far easier when the 4WD is not ...

Tires for Overlanding: Sand Driving Techniques

Key Considerations When Overlanding in the Sand and Dunes: Lower tire pressure is the greatest contributor to driving success in the sand and dunes for a standard overland vehicle. In sand with a standard (i.e., lower horsepower) vehicle, an all-terrain tire with a modest tread pattern will perform best, as it provides the best overall footprint regularity for flotation and limited disruption o...

Where was this filmed? Looks gorgeous!
Utah 🤗
As a Tyre Tech for more than 4 Decades , Yes airing down will lengthen the Tread Length But It Will NOT Make the Tread Any Wider than it is Already, And Riding on the Sidewalls Is NOT Increasing the Tread Width, You Guys Always try to say that it makes them wider BUT It Dose NOT, The Tread Patten Can NOT GROW In WIDTH.
Thank you for the feedback and comment. In general terms (as it varies by section height and construction) 80% of the increased flotation area comes from the carcass length, and 20% from the width. It is important not to confuse the tread face with carcass width (which also includes sidewall tread on many tire models), as carcass width under low pressures does contribute (although marginally) to increased flotation. This is most evident in snow, sand, and mud. When crossing glaciers, we rely heavily on the increased flotation that comes from the sidewall as well.
Watched multiple times, so much it is insightful. Could you release a pdf for recovery and repair tools and gear ⚙️?
Thank you for watching Samantha. We are working on a comprehensive equipment list.
When you say 2WD, do you mean front wheel drive only, or do you mean RWD only? I have recently ordered a RWD sprinter campervan in Australia because the waiting time for a 4 X 4 is so long.
The model we tested was RWD only
Were you guys vaping while recording this?
I have never vaped. I doubt Clay has either. That is just my normal incompetence at work. -Scott
can you wear the sling around your waist too? or does it not get tight enough and you can only use it as a sling?
three things made eva famous: beautiful face, open minded, smart.
It’s great if you can travel with others and then some of the items can be shared to save on payload. This is coming from a guy who struggles to stay even close to gvwr.
Great suggestion. It is so helpful to share gear across a convoy.
I went with pelican they have locking saddle and always held up to sun with excellent warranty. Bx is different than traditional plastic pelican so time will tell, no mount to rack system than it just a another case he didn't address mounting and thief
Corruption in Mozambique is worse
I didn’t see windows. Guess they are zipped up in the topper
Exactly. They are in the lifting roof tent panel.
boring commercial
Boring, maybe. But it is not a commercial. We received no compensation from Lexus of any kind.
Been to Duck Creek Village many times.
This is rich.. get leather seats, then realize it’s too hot, “upgrade” them to cloth, via seat covers😂😂
Or, it was only available with leather seats when we got the vehicle.
Love your Videos!! Keep making the amazing content!!
Thank you
I'm first!!!#1🎉
Yes you are!
Great conversation! Nothing better than for a boy, and later a man, to have a dad. Thanks for sharing, Scott. ⭐
You are most welcome
Legends
Is it possible to fold it up with the large rear basket the same as without it? I’m having a hard time finding this info.
Fantastic episode and what a great opportunity to have a heart to heart conversation with your father.
Thank you. I do love him beyond words.
What a magical adventure.
Thank you Brittany.
Excellent episode! Thank you for sharing!
You are most welcome
Scott, this was a great episode. What a joy to hear stories and ‘see’ the relationship you and your father have built. Top quality. 🏕️🧭💞✊👍🙌
How much!$😊
Too bad the Throttle House guys didn't manage their uphill throttle inputs or lash down their cargo. 🛫🛬
That was quite the jump. . .
Dunes for days! 🤩So much fun! Where was this filmed at?
You also recommend engaging 4WD early on unpaved roads. Why does 2WD tear up unsaved roads? How does 4WD prevent that?
Great questions. Shifting into 4WD (or driving an AWD) on unimproved surfaces reduces both wheelspin (even imperceptible) and wheel hop by having both pushing (rear axle) and pulling (front axle). Just a way to reduce impact and preserve trails for future travelers.
Why do you recommend a light truck variant versus a passenger tire?
Due to the construction. Most P-rated tires will be a lighter-duty carcass construction with weaker sidewalls as well.
Florida is a great place for muddy overlanding. This looks like Ocala National Forest.

Soon my friend.
Great video!
Tavia is THE boss! Miss you guys… ❤
Miss you my brother!
That is a dream come through overland trip! 👋🏽☕
It was a joy. Thank you for watching.
Scott, dig the watch. what is it?
That one is my dad's vintage Seiko from 1969 (chronograph automatic)
Super awesome piece!!
Ah the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro
A special mountain for sure
Important to note, the lower you go, the more ground clearance you loose. Also, not al A/T are ok with running trails at 17psi. Rocky or washboard I don't drop mine below 21 (265/65/17)
What ATs have you found are not rated for trail pressures?
Looks like a great trip Scott. I'll be tuning in for the rest of the episodes.
Thanks for watching!
@expedition portal by any chance were you in kenya outcasts of Nairobi?
We absolutely were. For a few months actually.
What do you mean steering wheel on wrong side and driving on the wrong side, seems pretty normal to me? That is how we do it in Australia, works well. Serious note , enjoying your coverage.
Hahaha. I believe it was Enzo Ferrari that said the wheel should be on the right. . . so you are right after all ;)
Thanks for sharing fantastic scenery, great trip, from Steve near Chester 🏴 England where the Roman's once lived .
On voit que vous vous êtes inspirés de Marioles Trotters !
🙏❤️ Love Scotland ❤️🙏
Thanks Scott. Good information to know. I never thought about using the rim diameter as a reference for lowering the tire pressure. I've always just started at 1/2 the recommended street tire pressure.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching
Even better, if a manufacturer publishes tyre pressure data for off-road use, follow those. Michelin publish them for the 4x4-O/R - known also as the XZL - for on-road use, tracks and sand up to 65 km/h (40 mph), and for emergency flotation up to 20 km/h (12 mph). It generally tracks along 65-70% of normal for tracks and sand, and 30-40% of normal for emergency soft. I have the complete table if you want it?
We do love the XZL for all the wrong reasons (grin), and they look fantastic on the Defender 110.
Welcome to Tanzania.Your adventure was awesome.
Awesome episode Scott! 🎉
Loving this video series, and the associated podcasts.
Ah Tanzania, location (or one of) for my favourite Camel Trophy event of 1991.
Just finished my first 10 days of grenadier ownership! Love the truck! Can’t wait to take it to Africa!!!
Congrats on the Grenadier! You will love it
