The funny thing is - when I went there in 1981, we drove a 1964 MK1 Cortina. We didn't get bogged here or anywhere on Fraser Island for the week we drove around. It wasn't standard - we gave it a bit of a lift and had a set of pretty big BALD road tyres at 10 PSI. Towed out a couple of bogged 4 WDs with it.
To anyone that's bought their 1st 4x4 and are looking at this video for pointers on 4x4ing in sand . Lesson 1 Your 4x4 CAN'T go everywhere without the right equipment i.e.12V air compressor and 2x spare tyres. Lesson 2 When your wheels start to spin STOP, putting your foot down only make the situation worse. Lesson 3 Air down your tyres to 15 psi and yes if you have trailer on air them down too . So long as you don't make sharp turns and the beads on your rims are in good condition it is possible to air down to 6psi if required . Lesson 4 Invest in recovery gear i.e. max traxs even cheap ones are worth it at 100$ a pair. A exhaust or hi lift jack. Snatch straps and stored energy dampener bags are a must have item also. Lesson 5 Before purchasing a trailer to tow behind your 4x4 measure thing's like axle width , will my trailer create drag or cut side walls on my trailer tyres. Measure ramp over and exit angles inbetween and at the back of the trailer so you don't leave yourself stranded with a broken trailer chassis or A frame. Lesson 6 TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL are not your friend in offroad area's TURN THEM OFF!
19:52 Merc G63 AMG running sports tyres gliding past the muppets in the Patrol and 79. Just goes to show, that its all about the tyre pressures and momentum really.
can someone who lives near inskip just either put up a big sign saying "lower pressures'' or else camp out with some FRP grating and charge $5 a lend. would easily pay for beer money for the day !
I used to live by the beach and would see stuck 4x4s all the time while driving around, they'd ask me for a tow and I'd say sorry mate my utes actually 2wd, amazing where 6psi will take you on sand even with only 2wd.
@@phantomwalker8251 I've done cape york, and Inskip, never got close to being stuck so yeah I'd believe it. Usher point almost got me though drove down a steep sand track that turned out to be dead end, dropped tyres to 6psi climbed the hill and pumped them back up to 16psi, it's not rocket science.
I've driven on the beach here in the states in my F250 Powerstroke only in 2wd and never got stuck weighing almost double what some of the smaller vehicles weigh. So yes it is amazing what airing way down can do for you in the sand. Now when playing in the dunes I'll run it in 4wd.
My Father always said these days these youngsters have got it wrong ! as soon as they leave the bitumen they put it in low range and 4x4 and go like the clappers until they are buried up to the door handles and there is no way out ! He said the right way is to go steady and slow in 2 wheel drive and then low range 2 wheel drive if you need to and keep it steady and then if you find yourself in trouble you use the 4 wheel drive to get yourself out ! ...My Father said this country was explored and developed without 4x4 it was all old 2 WD Chevy and ford trucks and pickups you should be able to go almost anywhere with just 2 wd !!.....Always 2 wheel in 4 wheel out ! makes sense !
I have found the 4WD Action channel on TH-cam. Great show! They have a video where they go to Fraser Island and mention how they prepare for traversing the beach correctly because they don’t want to end up on videos like these! 😂
14:00 Nice new Mitsubishi L200 Triton!! It pulled out the Isuzu/Holden despite the driver of this last one didn't help him on purpose (the vehicle was in neutral position)!!!
I have no idea why they do that. Dumbnuts at best!!!! Friggen blind leading the blind. I just don't understand it - geting across this stuff is easy. Unless you want to bring Your Entire House and all equipment in it at twice the weight of your car. WHY!!!!!!!!!😣😥🙄
My philosophy with this is, if you can’t get across to the island on your own on correct pressures, then you don’t get to the boss level ...aka Fraser lol
If they can't hardly get on the bardge, how would the get up into the dunes to set up camp.? Be interesting to actually know what tyre pressure each car was running .?
plenty of sand driving in my time, yes that’s soft deep stuff for sure, but should not be a problem at all with lower tire pressure!! crazy 🏄🏻♂️,also should not need that speed too traverse it, and high range would be better than whining those engine ‘s too the red line, 😆
Rubber wheels are spelt "TYRES".( I'm being cheeky) but I would drop mine down to 12psi. No matter what the power of your vehicle is (or torque) you are going nowhere without deflating your tyres. Great entertainment though.....😂
hundred thousand dollar cars with fifty thousand dollar boats with no idea lol , and one simple reason there getting bogged there running twenty something psi , that is soft sand there got to go down to around 12psi
I had fewer problems pulling a Humvee and Ram 1500 with it's right front suspension broken and digging into the sand acting like an anchor at the same time, then most of these folks lol. Had my F250 aired down to 12 psi.
What tyre pressures are these people running? I have a 2L diesel auto, towing a camper trailer, and have NEVER had an issue at Inskip Point. Years ago, I had a 1·5L petrol Toyota Tercel, on 13" wheels and towing a boat, but still got through! Last trip to Fraser about a month ago, we felt Ngkala rocks was a walk in the park, but we still saw people driving like they were on a race track and getting stuck. LET YOUR TYRES DOWN!
I know there half to be differences in vehicles butnits still interesting how some just fliat over the sand and others sink then that 2 tone colored nissan in 2wd has no problems.
Ain’t none of them heard of a Yankum? The problem with a snatch strap is it doesn’t add any kinetic energy - when the tow vehicle takes up the slack all that dead weight inertia from the stuck vehicle transfers right back to the tow vehicle and destroys whatever momentum it had. A Yankum multiplies the pulling power of the tow vehicle by stretching without bogging the tow vehicle at the same time directing the rebound kinetic energy directly toward the stuck vehicle and pops it right into motion. The tow vehicle barely feels anything - it just keeps charging forward uninterrupted.
Greg's mate. Haha no. You don’t need any special equipment - your Wankum is built-in. Though with all this quarantining going on, I reckon there are a lot of Wankums that are pretty, uh, “beat”.
No expert here, but have been guided by people with more experience than me for sand driving. Uncomfortable tire pressure in the low teens or lower helps more than you think. Recent travel on soft sand beaches towing 2 tonne trailer (also with low pressures), never had a bog, no overheating no over revving, no trenches left by vehicle. All low range ad mid to high gears. Happy days.
Buy an exhaust jack and a tyre deflater. The exhaust jack is the easiest way to lift the bogged vehicle up, then fill in the holes. You only need to dig enough to get the jack under the vehicle. Why dig the whole lot out when there is an easier way? While it's in the air, use the tyre deflater to let the tyres down till they work in sand. Simple. Then just drive out, no issues, no thrashing your vehicle. I have used my exhaust jack quite a few times now, but not yet on our own vehicle, in spite of the fact we had our camper on the bum!
Nice currency exchange program going on here. Standard towing fee - 6 pack, Or $20 to $50 bucks cash for fuel money, ( The longer and harder the effort, the more the price) Or Out of agapae love as a good Samaritan you just help the bloke, 1, to make his day, and 2, to get him out of the road to stop blocking the traffic flow.
Certainly a 'How not to' of the first order! As many other commentators have said, Lower the tyre pressure! Check out the other vehicles just sailing past.
I cannot believe that Land Cruiser ute was buried at the start. I wonder if Toyota would sell as many vehicles it their potential customer saw how many got stuck. I've seen very few Jeep wranglers getting stuck there but everyone bags the shit out of them.
These are high capable 4wds and the drivers can't even get them through a bit of soft sand. Its a simple process to minimise getting stuck like most of these people. Tyres to at least 18psi and see that lever or switch that says 4L. Try using that and about 3rd gear which equals 1st high and then you'll minimise chances of getting stuck, plus you'll have the ability to go up or down a gear if things get tough. Vehicles have low range for a reason, so use it with the right gear selection. Personally, I've found 3rd or 4th gear low range great as it keeps the momentum, the torque and power where you want it and the ability to go up or down a gear. I think a lot of people in this video don't select manual mode in the autos and hold one gear, plus no one seems to use low range.
I realise that most people here have an answer for everything... I've lived near a Beach most of my life. Think about this.... If you MUST tow a bloody Trailer on a SOFT Beach - why not rig up a PTO to a DRIVEN Axle on the Trailer?? Sounds mad, but think about it. Have the bloody dead weight help PUSH you through! 😳😉
www.lrfaq.org/FC/FAQ.FC.powertrailer.html .Apparently the trailer tried to push the towing vehicle in any direction except forward in a reasonably straight line following the towing vehicle...thusly explaining why some 4wd vehicles have an inbuilt computer controlled distribution of tractive effort 60% front wheels, 40% rear wheels???
why is it some get bogged and then another same vehicle at other times doesnt? is it shifting sand, dry sand, soft spots ? Is there a rule to crossing this stretch ? I see some expensive vehicles get bogged whilst other basic ones sail though ? How does the wrangler fair here ? too many questions ??? lol
It's a section with very soft sand which can be difficult to cross, specifically when towing a trailer. The trick is to keep momentum and lower tire pressures. For soft sand like this 15-18PSI (depending on tires and vehicle weight) or even lower is what gets the job done.
It's not really as soft as it looks the council and tour groups use same track on and off the island in heavy buses and rubbish sewerage trucks what you are seeing is people not driving to the conditions or using basic logic. Air down your tyres to 10ish psi and try not to spin the wheels excessively
StealthCamp most 4x4's are capable it's the people with no knowledge or no equipment that come unstuck. Either they think just because they have 4x4 it will go anywhere with no adjustments or they don't want to let their tyres down because they don't have the must have item, a 12v air compressor to pump them back up.
It's not all about letting some of the air out of your tires right when the sand is like talcum powder it will quite literally make it look impossible it really comes down to yes tire pressures but as well as throttle control a lot of these people are just flooring it expecting they'll grab traction when all they are doing is sinking themselves deeper
@@peeyoobikhunter2312 that's not a road its a beach if these Muppets cant drive over the beach to the ferry they probs shouldn't be going on the ferry to australias biggest sand island. You could almost call it a proving ground
Load level hitches would redistribute weight across the entire setup better. It would reduce hitches/tongues from dragging in the sand and poor vehicle control.
Cos they coolant be fukt and don't know how to pump em up again. They call them the Chau Donau set (champaign ) drinkers. You can tell cos they just sit in their boong wagons an click their fingers. Now where did I leave me Austin 1800 then.
Best to leave them at 36psi , any lower and the tyre might break the bead ........ makes me wonder how do you expect to snatch another 4wd out when the recovering 4wd is bogging in before taking up any slack in the strap?
@@copternutFPV , yes I wasn't serious about the 36psi tyre pressures, about a week ago I went to 6 psi front and 10 psi rear ( normally 16 to 24 psi on average to firm sand ) to get up a sandy dune towing a boat with a gutless non turbo troopy , never had a tyre roll off the bead but that was a fairly straight run , no sharp turns.
@@roughas100 oh hahaha gold, yeah l usually say to pump em up to 50psi and spin the wheels till they hit rock. Mate l feel ya, my old 4 cylinder Hilux back in the day used get the tyres dropped super low when driving W.A coastline.
I love how close everyone is standing to the recovery with no sand packs on the snatch, nothing, i was hoping one would snap and take someone out if I'm honest
I have been bogged on many occasions and have helped those bogged and when the kinetic snap rope was designed the Gods were looking down on us knowing that we were wasting too much time bogging/pulling and too little time sculling back a coldy........ 'BOG ON BITCHES'
Could the people filming this comedy go over and ask all drivers what tyre pressures they are running, I bet they all will be far to high, put them down to 10 to 12psi, even down 8 if necessary.
They would probably say "oh there good the tyre lights not on." Just as the traction control is still on. and the windows up with the A/C still on. Once your bogged every bit of power helps.
Its amazing how many times you see certain people who are being towed don't put the effort in to help and assist the the bloke in front who working hard as well as his machine to pull them out of the crap. For those guys, play your part as well, and start turning your wheels before the strap takes up, so that you make life easier for the bloke who is busting his guts and his machine to help you. Don't just sit there doing nothing expecting an arm chair ride by doing nothing yourselves.
These videos frustrate me so much Literally just stop and realise if you get stuck your tires are obviously not low enough so before just digging to the centre of the earth stop and drop tires down to at least 10psi and just walk right thru it It’s not hard
I dont understand why keep towing and bog down as well. Do a snatch, then stop, then again etc. The moemnt it doesnt go and you start spinning wheels, stop, go back and snatch again. Very simple. It is not the towing, its the snatch that pulls the car out. The kinetic energy. Like the guy with the black Mitsubishi. He pulled and when it didnt go anymore, stoped. Didnt spin wheel. He stopped. Went back and accelerated and pulled again and there he went, the Toyota was out. He didnt dig and bog down as well.

To anyone that's bought their 1st 4x4 and are looking at this video for pointers on 4x4ing in sand .
Lesson 1
Your 4x4 CAN'T go everywhere without the right equipment i.e.12V air compressor and 2x spare tyres.
Lesson 2
When your wheels start to spin STOP, putting your foot down only make the situation worse.
Lesson 3
Air down your tyres to 15 psi and yes if you have trailer on air them down too .
So long as you don't make sharp turns and the beads on your rims are in good condition it is possible to air down to 6psi if required .
Lesson 4
Invest in recovery gear i.e. max traxs even cheap ones are worth it at 100$ a pair.
A exhaust or hi lift jack.
Snatch straps and stored energy dampener bags are a must have item also.
Lesson 5
Before purchasing a trailer to tow behind your 4x4 measure thing's like axle width , will my trailer create drag or cut side walls on my trailer tyres.
Measure ramp over and exit angles inbetween and at the back of the trailer so you don't leave yourself stranded with a broken trailer chassis or A frame.
Lesson 6
TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL are not your friend in offroad area's
TURN THEM OFF!
Or you can just use helium at 50psi in each tyre. That'd help.
Great tips and advice.
Lesson 1 - not needed, the rest, yes

It's not all about letting some of the air out of your tires right when the sand is like talcum powder it will quite literally make it look impossible it really comes down to yes tire pressures but as well as throttle control a lot of these people are just flooring it expecting they'll grab traction when all they are doing is sinking themselves deeper
The Local council really needs to put up a big bright red sign that say's PLEASE DROP TYRE PRESSURE TO 12 TO 15 PSI.
might not be able to read even if there was a sign
The council needs to bitumis the road then all pain goes.
@@peeyoobikhunter2312 that's not a road its a beach if these Muppets cant drive over the beach to the ferry they probs shouldn't be going on the ferry to australias biggest sand island. You could almost call it a proving ground
@@peeyoobikhunter2312 nah. It's a beach not a road
Load level hitches would redistribute weight across the entire setup better. It would reduce hitches/tongues from dragging in the sand and poor vehicle control.
That chopped GQ was tuff af lookin.
Always makes me laugh. Watching people with no idea. Didnt see any of them drop more air out which is usually the problem in the first place
Cos they coolant be fukt and don't know how to pump em up again. They call them the Chau Donau set (champaign ) drinkers. You can tell cos they just sit in their boong wagons an click their fingers. Now where did I leave me Austin 1800 then.
Fark that strap breaking at 17:00 with the dude standing right next to it.
Why don’t they let down the tyres 10psi will go anywhere
Good Bloody question, Most of these guys are so frustrating to watch,
Best to leave them at 36psi , any lower and the tyre might break the bead ........ makes me wonder how do you expect to snatch another 4wd out when the recovering 4wd is bogging in before taking up any slack in the strap?
@@roughas100 you're joking right, 36psi?!!
@@copternutFPV , yes I wasn't serious about the 36psi tyre pressures, about a week ago I went to 6 psi front and 10 psi rear ( normally 16 to 24 psi on average to firm sand ) to get up a sandy dune towing a boat with a gutless non turbo troopy , never had a tyre roll off the bead but that was a fairly straight run , no sharp turns.
@@roughas100 oh hahaha gold, yeah l usually say to pump em up to 50psi and spin the wheels till they hit rock. Mate l feel ya, my old 4 cylinder Hilux back in the day used get the tyres dropped super low when driving W.A coastline.
There's a lot of sinkers in that trailer 🤣
I love how close everyone is standing to the recovery with no sand packs on the snatch, nothing, i was hoping one would snap and take someone out if I'm honest
That's a bit hard me old mate but I know wot ya mean. 5mins and I'm gone boring as shit.
Triton to the rescue! Yes!
They are under estimated and a good thing imho
This is the best one yet.
I have been bogged on many occasions and have helped those bogged and when the kinetic snap rope was designed the Gods were looking down on us knowing that we were wasting too much time bogging/pulling and too little time sculling back a coldy........ 'BOG ON BITCHES'
Deflating tyres?
The 79 sinking like the boat it is
Surely they are dropping air pressure???
Could the people filming this comedy go over and ask all drivers what tyre pressures they are running, I bet they all will be far to high, put them down to 10 to 12psi, even down 8 if necessary.
yeah but then you wouldn't get stuck.
If bet most of them wouldn’t even know what pressures they are running because the mechanic checks them for them at services 😂
They would probably say "oh there good the tyre lights not on." Just as the traction control is still on. and the windows up with the A/C still on. Once your bogged every bit of power helps.
Low Tyres prussuer is most when driving over soft sand
Aggressive tire tread doing what it is designed to do. DIG. Street tires at low PSI is the practical approach.
Did the first guy have an auto release as the snatch strap lost tension after the first pull
That tow truck goes over the sand so well
Its amazing how many times you see certain people who are being towed don't put the effort in to help and assist the the bloke in front who working hard as well as his machine to pull them out of the crap.
For those guys, play your part as well, and start turning your wheels before the strap takes up, so that you make life easier for the bloke who is busting his guts and his machine to help you.
Don't just sit there doing nothing expecting an arm chair ride by doing nothing yourselves.
did that snatch snap while ol mate baldy was right there??
That means he would be back on the mainland, bluddy safe there.
These videos frustrate me so much
Literally just stop and realise if you get stuck your tires are obviously not low enough so before just digging to the centre of the earth stop and drop tires down to at least 10psi and just walk right thru it
It’s not hard
Amen.
Hallelujah
15psi does the job
I always go down too at least 15 PSI on the beach
But even 15 is not low enough for super soft sand
Someone need to buy a loader and make a killing out there every day. 😁
Rob James they dont have the money for that...all spent on meth lol 😂
Don’t need a loader, just a 4wd with correct Tyre pressures 😜
That sand is rooted now .
Why do they bring their whole along?.
dah how does a snatch strap work I know I will try to slow tow it!

Haha snatching from your camper trailer to the other car - hmm not much load put on your coupling there!!!!
So many people need to buy tyre deflator and compressor . Cant believe so many people dont let tyres down more
The guy in the red truck all the gear no idea
The bloke in the 79 spends more time bogged than anyone else. Its all noise and no poise.
I dont understand why keep towing and bog down as well. Do a snatch, then stop, then again etc. The moemnt it doesnt go and you start spinning wheels, stop, go back and snatch again. Very simple. It is not the towing, its the snatch that pulls the car out. The kinetic energy. Like the guy with the black Mitsubishi. He pulled and when it didnt go anymore, stoped. Didnt spin wheel. He stopped. Went back and accelerated and pulled again and there he went, the Toyota was out. He didnt dig and bog down as well.
Is it just me or is that white 76 series only got it in 2wd ?
*CHROIST!! WHAT WAS IN THAT BLOODY TRAILER??* 😳😳
Low tire pressures (both vehicle and trailer) combined with max tracks will do the trick everytime
And by low, don’t be afraid to go way past 18psi, with a trailer go 16 at least until across the barge the air up to 18-20 for low tide run.
Can throw the maxtraxs in bin no need for them got by for years on tyre pressures alone.
