@@atzerath no worries nobody would get injured , besides me slipping cause i put slippery boots on.

And the reason i did not go forward is because i knew the water was to deep and i would drown my Jimny. I love making content but u love my Jimny more 😁
Good learning experience. The more time in the saddle the better you will be able to read the situation and take the appropriate action. Well done on sticking with it, as we have all been there in that kind of situation when we start to go off road.
You might not see it in this video , but trust me when that hail came down i was like....ok this is bad but i can live with that....but then lightning came down and thunder sounds. At that point i really pooped my pants!
It was funny until lightning came striking down a little bit further. And i was standing there with my feet in the water next to a couple trees 😂. The craziest part is that that thunder and hail was just one cloud coming right over us , talking about bad luck 🙈
you don't winch your vehicle from the mid of the tree, that's why the tree was moving too much. You winch it from the most stable part of a tree and that's the lowest of the trunk.
@@LifeofSmokey You should get some maxtrax or something like it and a tree ribbon to winch from trees. You can put the tree ribbon on the bottom of the tree and use de maxtrax to make a ramp out of the ditch.
1st Things you should do in a Situation like that. Make the Tire pressure Lower. That the most important steps... 2nd never go straight if your Cars stuck in the Muddy area , try to move the steering wheel 🔁 3rd don't push it so hard..slowly so you can feel how bad the situation Lastly... always in sands or Muddy place.. use the wood or rock 🪨 under the Tire so you would have more stable ground beneath.... Hope you have a pleasant journey next time Be safe....keep it up 🤙🏻👍🏻
You should really get a training course on how to safely use a winch... Get yourself a trunk protector and blankets. Also some maxxtracks and a bottle jack can help in your situation.
Haha yeah got my friend with many years of experience help me out. The dude with the defender. I call him first before i do stupid stuff that might kill Bob 😂
I feel you man, exact same thing happened to me with a brand new land cruiser 79 series. Warn winch broke, small rescue tractor bogged, big tractor took about an hour to pull us out all the way through mud. Car was a mess. Nightmare
@@LifeofSmokey put it this way I wasn’t eating teriyaki chips. I was in disbelief of what was happening. devastated was an understatement. Did your car clean up ok?
@@luouns This happend last week Friday....yesterday i had the battle with the Rubicon Wrangler so didn't clean it yet. Maybe when i find some time tomorrow 😅🙈. Was thinking about making a video about detailed cleaning it but didn't find the time yet haha
@@luouns Yeah got it inside warm garage right away and opened all doors 😂. Got my friend's soap vacuum cleaner so really gonna put some work into it. Not really sure on how to get the mud out the dash 😂
Hey Smokey, looks to me like you'll have lots of fun memories from that night 😅 and you're also gaining lots of valuable 4x4 experience. It's the only way to go friend 🤘
watch your rear wheel-bearings, Suzuki in all their wisdom put a drain hole in the casing where the bearings are... to let water out (hahaha). It also lets water and muck in. So if doing a bit of "mud fun" or playing in water, it pays to take your rear wheels & brake drums off to check if water or muck/mud has entered the drum. I had to replace mine at 21000km(2 years old)
Moral: do not invest money in preparing the car, invest in your friends and they will not hesitate to help you when you need it. 😅 I too got stuck to the bottom with my Jimny 🤦🏻, and a friend saved me with his LandCruiser 💪
Great video Smokey🤣👋👊...bit disappointed though because I've seen Jimny's pulling Land Rovers out of trouble and not the other way round...u live in beautiful area🤙
I know i can take my Jimny really far because of the low weight but this trail is closed for a reason haha. Good thing i got stuck right before the deep swimming pool or this video would have gotten a lot worse :-)
Nope everyone gets stuck at this place. The road is closed for a reason 😅. If i would be able to drive deeper into the water my Jimny's inside would have been flooded because it's really deep! I got REALLY lucky
Countryside farming village people with the name ....😁👍 I had the same sh*t with my motorcycle 650 cc, at 11 pm in the rain, also quickly took a shortcut , my battery also died 🙄 Fun as hell 😂
After such off-road session will you change axle and transfer oil? I heard others recommended that while car is soaked for prolong times at the wheel bearing height water and mud will penetrate the axles and transfer case. Also in manufacturer manual it says don’t dip car at the wheel bearing level.
The Jimny's bottom was not under water if you see the part where i record the log underneath the Jimny. Really weird situation haha. But my buddy did tell me those axles or something have breathing holes. And you should put them higher up so water can't indeed get inside 😁
Hello, in this video, we see the wheels spinning at different speeds. Does your traction control system work? I have seen Italian videos (Campagnola jeep) in which it is very clear that the traction control system works very badly, if at all.
In 4x4 low gearing the traction control is off all the time. Last time i looked at my tires spinning i left the doors open and look what happend to my interior 😂
Jimny is in front of my house a lot of times , Brabus is always inside hidden. Just Privacy reasons nothing more. Got a new car coming with personalised plates again cause that one will be hidden as well. 😉
I found a 4 year old 130km long offroad gps route online 😂. It's a known road under 4x4 drivers. Many big wheel boys went there during the weekends because it's that crazy. But that's the reason the city closed that road with that big log and concrete blocks. I had no idea cause i'm just into this world 😂. Called my experienced friend , told him what city i was stuck in and without asking for the address he said "I'll be there in 45minutes" 😅
@@pim1234 i didn't go for a cable. It's some kind of paracord. My app tells me the exact force i'm winching with , and also the cable that plugs into the winch has green-orange and red light so i can see when i'm reaching max pressure. But if in case the rope would break it will just raffle and fall down. Still i would never come to close when using it 😁
Question , can i become fried chicken if thunder strikes my Jimny when i'm in deep water wearing rubber boots? 😯
Yes, probably.... But the best place to be in a thunderstorm is inside your car, because the car acts as a faraday cage. Electricity will flow through the outer metal shell of the car, into the ground... The occupants inside are going to be safe.

Great to see the jimney used as what it is designed for.

Sorry for the night off roard action. But you are learning off roading on the hard and muddy side! The next Video is the Jimmny cleaning video. ;-)

On the positive side...the light bar worked a treat and those magnetic keyhole covers have already paid their way ten times over! 🙂😆🙃
