      @@TarmacLife. Standing under the car like that is plain stupidity. Here in Melbourne Australia we have a 4wd testing ground that everyone uses from all the car journo's to dealerships and police training. About 10 year's ago a young police officer got out of a 4wd on a hill climb during training and thought he could trust the car only to have it roll and crush him to death. The guy in this video clearly has no brains.

    That was some excellent driving, excellent instruction/spotting along with the cool-headedness on the part of the driver as well as those outside the vehicle. I’m impressed with the equipment and the trust in that equipment, but more than that the wherewithal to stay in the vehicle, wait patiently, think the problem through and calmly execute that impressive bit of driving skill. Excellent job by all!!

    Please note the vid isn't horizontal.
    The image leans slightly to the right (just look at the antenna tower in the background). I would say a minimum of 10 to 15°.
    The vid makes the 110 look as if it was leaning more than in reality (though it leans significantly ).
    You should rotate your screen to the left to put the tower vertically to see the real angle of the scene.

      The video was apparently shot by a dash cam, therefore at the angle of the vehicle it was in. That would account for the VERY slight deviance from vertical (plumb) of the tower perceived in this clip.
      That said, it is plainly NOT at a 10-15 degree angle. You do get (and deserve) credit for spotting that minor and unobvious detail. However, your exaggeration seems as though it MIGHT or might not intend to imply deception.
      Regardless of the extremely slight variance from level of the recording device, the point is THAT WAS SOME EXCELLENT DRIVING.
      My two cents....

    If the video was level and actually showed the real slope this would be a more accurate idea, but getting out of that situation had more to do with the vehicles center of gravity, not it's tech or capability. Pretty much any 4WD could have done exactly the same thing there. But again, the video is skewing the slope so it looks more intense than it really is

    I am more of a landcruiser person but I do love the new defender. I would only have to rip off the cute stuff like front bumper, replace for 16" rims, add a winch etc. I want it to look, feel and become more tough so that I would feel comfortable to take it off road. Would love to see it's performance as an Arctic truck conversion against its rivals. Nice!

    • @chrishb7074
      @chrishb7074 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't rip the front bumper of a new Defender off, there's critical wiring loom just behind it - as TFL Truck channel found out when a factory approved winch installation, by a LR dealership, went very wrong and turned into a back-to-factory rebuild.
      There's something amiss in the design stage for that sort of vulnerability to happen. Along with the rear lights, which needed extra lamps to be added later, allegedly as the original design wasn't compliant with regulations for side visibility. Every time I see one from behind I think 'There goes a car made by people who didn't do a technical specification properly - I wonder what else they missed?'
      I actually really like the new Defenders and want Land Rover to succeed, even if their designers do daft stuff.

The second while trying to get to my cabin.... I had to call help, both times... These were their alleged "Off road" tires too.... Oh, and it stumbles trying to climb up and over such simple obstacles, struggling to get power to the wheels, because of all the electronic assists always taking too long to figure out where to put power...... If it weren't called a "Defender", I'd like it, because i'd have lower expectations.. I love Land Rover and have owned 2 Discos and a Range Rover... My dad had a Defender when I was in middle school, and it was a go-anywhere beast.. I can't use my Defender to get to my family's cabin..

    It was impressive but too dangerous. It's much better to do it safer and to be 300% sure that it can't roll

      In fairness, the instructor knows both vehicle and dunes incredibly well, and the new Defender is ultra capable

    ALL he had to do was right hand down all the way and drive it down, did that on tractors on steep hill and the discovery has a lower CO gravity

    Nothing new here. Dry sand will allow any vehicle to slide gracefully down an extreme slope - as anyone here who has been on dune driving experience will have seen.

    There are so many things wrong with this video the apparent instructor who standing below the vehicle where if it rolled it would have killed him as well as the advice that he gave the guy was so incorrect it was not funny it's amazing that this vehicle didn't roll-on this sandune

    Sorry but the way this self recovery was done is incorrect. First you get out of the car and assess, or others do so, and that was correct. Second, you need counter-balancing, doesn’t matter if it was a 1980 Suzuki or the newest raptor, counter-balancing is a must, especially with a car of such height. Third, you stead towards the slope, in this case downwards, to the right of the driver, and slowly apply throttle, ofcourse with your diff on, and slowly use the cars weight to descend. Not just apply throttle and let the car do the driving. If this was a bit stealer, you could’ve said byebye

    Don't care who you are, or how confident in the vehicle you are.
    You don't stand on the low side of a vehicle on a side-slope... unless you're trying for a Darwin award.
    Personally, I would've kept my foot in and steered left but I'm guessing a journo' bottled it and stopped.
    In that case, steer right and reverse down the side-slope.

      @@TarmacLife First misstake, driving so far to the right and close to the crest. Totally unnecessary. And get out of that one, sliding down without advancing.....that was more luck then skills.
      But I like the LR. Hope you enjoyed the trip.
