Nice one on the recovery Alex that would not have been easy I know how soft those beaches can get... Glad he got the Navara out before the tide could make things worse.
Intents Offroad Me, my brother and our mate Pete just did Guilderton to Seabird to Ledge Point on Aussie day long weekend. We camped up at Fire Drum on the edge of the cliffs near the beach. We did the trip in my brother's 2017 Ford Ranger xls and our mate Pete used his 2017 Isuzu Dmax ls. Such a great trip can't wait for the next one.
I hate to be the one to bring up safety, but there were people standing really close on both snatches. If a strap or shackle broke it could have cut them in two. I know it's easy to forget in the heat of the moment and you probably already know this but the recommended distance for bystanders is at least 1.5 times the length of the snatch strap(s). Safe 4wding :)
Great stuff guys, looks like fun... we've all been stuck along there before. The light weight of my little Subaru helps with the soft beaches. We had a subaru blow its gearbox and get stuck in gear while down there... That was a mission and a half to get out. Would I be welcome to join a trip sometime?
Good recovery, its not the 1st time I've heard of D40's clutches frying in the sand. There is more track passed the railway carriages that go through the bush then eventually back down to the beach.
Hi Alex from Intents Offroad...i like your Adventure Trips and the Videos so much and im a great Fan of Australia. Im a founder of the "Nissan Offroad Adventure Team", a 4x4 Club, and we have many fun in Offroading here in Germany too...
Not sure either about that 'Kidney' dish of yours! (lol!) Wonder whether the kidneys could have sufficed for bait, and you could have all instead enjoyed some lovely freshly baked fish etc. My heart really felt for you people when on the soft sand, & you had a veh develop clutch issues. Really pays clearly to travel as a group, as well have some mechanical knowledge! Good camera work anyway! Cheers! Really enjoyed your film.
Went from Wilbinga to the Moore River and back and not even a hint of getting stuck in the sand I know its caught out many 4x4 vehicles and rescued several on that section of beach
I would love to know where you all got those nice hats to shade your head?..awesome..looks like fun,except,when the clutch got smoked..enjoyed it!..thks
first of all always go down to 12 psi on beach even if its hard more air let out more of a tire pattern with tread you have and dont put it in high always low range gear 1 or gear 2 and right foot down dont ride the clutch just crawl little throttle
all these 4wd's all this experience and not a single set of max trax? and why wait to get bogged in soft sand before going down to 10-12psi? I go down to that as soon as I start heading toward the beach and always have my max trax.
had the same thing happen to my mate at two rocks , he triled to pull me out , i was suck with sand up to the top of my tyeres, took 5 hours to pull him 5 km to our camp, i was told by guys to use the water line to tow a car on the beach
Ac130killer2 it's a nightmare hey mate? We ended up using the waterline to tow along as well, nice and firm down there but the surf was fairly rolling so it was a bit scary!
I was laughing my butt off while watching you eat the kidneys, I have tried kidney a couple of times its crap, lol. That sucks about the clutch, good work getting it out. Jason
cj Thomas I am aware of that, but only since I told this story to someone the following day haha. Don't know how we managed to get home without being pulled over!
Jai Clarke And don't buy a Navara! BT-50 or Ranger is the go - strong clutch, heaps of power and torque, great economy. Smashes all of those cars on the beach!
dont change a thing on your vids mate dont need another sponsored up show with all the gear doin shit the average 4wdr cant do.. Reckon its good yall get into the shit then fight hard to get undone,so us other regular 4wdrs can see what happens in the real world hahah nice work bro
I think you guys need to learn how to recover a vehicle properly and safely, that guy was in danger taken the pic a broken snatch strap can kill, no damper and use them how they suppose to be used as a snatch strap not to tow with
Nice one on the recovery Alex that would not have been easy I know how soft those beaches can get... Glad he got the Navara out before the tide could make things worse.
the wet sand close to the water is worse thats why the locals just dont drive on the beaches
It's a long one, about 22 minutes so make sure you've got a cuppa or a brewski and a bit of time to kick back and relax!
Intents Offroad Great content. keep them coming. cheers from the US.

Love your work - we are fledglings and are learning lots by watching experts like you ... Mark n Mandy

Well dont be then
Team work and staying calm is absolutely EVERYTHING in a situation like that. Glad made it out. :P
The arb awning looks like it extends further out from the Vehicle also you can attach a tent to them just a couple more pros for the arb awning
Thanks Proven Overland and Ronny Dahl yeah it sure was pretty hectic! Sure hope I don't have to do something like that again...
Great team work. Those beaches are notoriously soft.
I wish I was a sponsor and could sponsor you guys, I can't help but think of this as a show its so entertaining and professional.
+MaZEEZaM thanks mate! :)
Well done!! Recovery boards would've been handy, all worked out good at the end. Good stuff
Thanks Zoolt Pool, yep I really need to get some recovery boards. I've needed them on many an occasion!
geez mate I reckon that was 50/50 with that Navara, good call on Dylan giving the boot and kept going though
This trip is a dream for me
How lucky you are. ... !
That was awesome! Crazy that the Navara blew it's clutch!
This has made me want to go camping, although in the uk there's nowhere to go where u can do it out of the way like that :(
Awesome video boys! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing,we wouldlove to come down there some time and do some overload journeys.Greetings from Finland 😃
Keep up the awesome work mate! loving the videos!
Great stuff guys, looks like fun... we've all been stuck along there before. The light weight of my little Subaru helps with the soft beaches.

Would I be welcome to join a trip sometime?
Enjoyed your video. We have the RZR XP 1000 and Wildcat X ATV's and we tour with them, they are strong and hold up super well on our trails.
I would LOVE to have one of those! One day :)
love your humour Alex, great fun time guys
Good recovery, its not the 1st time I've heard of D40's clutches frying in the sand. There is more track passed the railway carriages that go through the bush then eventually back down to the beach.
***** I know! Since I put this video up and did the blog post I've had all sorts of stories about D40 clutches come through!
Hi Alex from Intents Offroad...i like your Adventure Trips and the Videos so much and im a great Fan of Australia. Im a founder of the "Nissan Offroad Adventure Team", a 4x4 Club, and we have many fun in Offroading here in Germany too...
I am now a official subscriber of your channel. Your a very funny bloke, keep up the amazing videos!

Teamwork. Yes that was worth a sub
These vids are great mate.

Like the vid. But your mate with the white nevara has bald tires, no wonder he bogged so easy.
How come you never use the patrol to tow vehicles ? It seems to be always the prado, is there a reason behind this ?
Great video,, lucky you were able to get that car out off the beach..
Awesome video :)
nice one mate... watch your mates around recoveries though!
Cheers mate! Yeah we were honestly pretty exhausted and desperate by that point and a few things were pretty poorly executed...
Intents Offroad know that feeling! happens to us all!
good goin fellas
all these 4wd's all this experience and not a single set of max trax? and why wait to get bogged in soft sand before going down to 10-12psi? I go down to that as soon as I start heading toward the beach and always have my max trax.

Intents Offroad we were there when it was hight tide at two rocks ,and now and then we had to go into the very soft sand geting bogged
its super boggy up there you needa be rocking 10psi
At 1:40... is that a smart place to stand and take photos during a snatch recovery......?! 😮
+Paul Hayward not a lot about that person is particularly intelligent 😂 hence they are not part of these journeys any more.
I was laughing my butt off while watching you eat the kidneys, I have tried kidney a couple of times its crap, lol. That sucks about the clutch, good work getting it out.
Jason
+Primal Outdoors Yeah not a fan. Maybe if I was a legit chef and didn't just boil it in mustard it would have been bearable haha
Buy yourself some recovery tracks. Maxrrax
max traxx will be your mate
🍻🍻🍻good one bru..wish I could join 😂😂
You all needed to have been hauling those traction boards.
awesome !
You also needed proper off road tires.
I heya to make the tire more flat till 15 psi.
Oh tick, i thought you said "Chick", "chick" "chick".... and you were leaving???
Is that a cheap lemonade, bahahahahaah pure gold.
What Moore River trip?
We did it the day before this but I've since pulled the video down because a lot of the areas we went have since been closed off.
@@Alex.G oh fair enough, just found your channel and it was confusing me 😂😂
This looks like southern England.
Don't know if your aware . flat towing on a main road is illegal in wa.
cj Thomas I am aware of that, but only since I told this story to someone the following day haha. Don't know how we managed to get home without being pulled over!
Oh well don't drive with bare feet either. That's illegal to :P
cj Thomas Actually its not illegal to drive bare feet. Was told that by a family member who is a cop and was told that bare feet is safer then thongs.
I would certainly agree that bare feet is safer than thongs! Haha thongs are deadly
love how everyone is an omnivore untill they
dont have prime fillet to eat
Yeah that dish was about enough to make anyone go vegan 😂
lol i went to school with some of these fellas
Was easy track boys ..no need recovery
Oi but.....he blew the clutch 🤔
Nissans hey. Some people never learn...
So basically your videos have made me decide to commit to the bank for 7 years and buy a Patrol!
Jai Clarke Good to hear mate! Very good choice indeed :)
Jai Clarke And don't buy a Navara! BT-50 or Ranger is the go - strong clutch, heaps of power and torque, great economy. Smashes all of those cars on the beach!
Yup, don't buy a D40 Navara after watching this video! Clutches letting go in them seems to be extremely common!
Yeah I've pretty much just my mind set on a mint gu Patrol atm!
here is a tip stay away from that stretch of beach
dont change a thing on your vids mate
dont need another sponsored up show with all the gear doin shit the average 4wdr cant do..
Reckon its good yall get into the shit then fight hard to get undone,so us other regular 4wdrs can see what happens in the real world hahah
nice work bro

Well Done, Bogans on the beach, tis Australia
These look like aussie kids who went to wealthy private schools lol. Ive seen way more bogan than them
#navlife
#cruisersavesnavonceagain
the Foxwing awning is a piece of shit. I own one and wish I never bought it. Unreliable and flies to pieces in the wind.
Dont buy a navara
Kidney 🤮
