My tip is that you are there to have fun and see/show things and go home. Do not try to see how far you can push your regular drive vehicle or you may break it, or hurt someone. Enjoy don't damage and if you want to push it to extreme then build a dedicated off roader that you can hurt and fix.
Emme is another influencer to follow. Her time competing in the Rebelle Rally is truly inspiring. I've been following her from the beginning (laundry basket test 😉).
Nice review. Off roading can be such a blast - have started to get into it over the last 3 years. First saw you with Roman and Nathan on TFL a few years ago - you are a great, fun reviewer.
12:28 might be the division of power through out thr car. A cigarette lighter might have a very limited amount of current, but the battery can give everything to the air pump.
Big tip..remember that you need your vehicle to get to work and your everyday life. Only do what you are comfortable doing. I have seen guys total their $40k trucks and SMH. I just run forest roads to get to hiking trail heads.
Nice simple basics video and I am one to keep it simple because off road and camping should be simple and I have been doing it my whole life, literally I was going over Moab stuff when I was 3 and at 5 I knew I would be camping and 4 wheeling my whole life. I am 59 now and my wife and I are going camping/4Wheelin this coming weekend in Big Bend
Here in Northern VA, I have to drive like 3-4 hours to get to an off-road trail. I miss living in CO, where there were free off-road trails everywhere.
the cigarette air compressors are limited by the current of the cigarette plug, which is 10 amps. connecting directly to the battery allows you to draw higher current. the 88p you have is 20 amps, so it can output twice as much power.
Definitely knowing what you have is super important. If you have a smaller suv and not aggressive tires…don’t do stupid shit and get into a deep puddle. Lastly…something I’m trying to teach my wife. She has a great Jeep setup with a 2.5 in lift and 35” aggressive tires. DONT BE OVER CONFIDENT.
There are a few little flaws in the information given here. By the way, I've been four wheeling for 44 years, published in the old 4 wheeling print mags 16 times, and even though we pitted for a Class 8 off road truck (the old top tier class) in the 1990's I just don't get the part about speed being fun in recreational and exploring four wheeling. Seems silly and immature (wheee!). You also need an education about drive train ratio's. You were only about correct about the Bronco ratio discussion but you'd missing something that almost 100% are not aware of or overlook with regard to automatic transmissions. That front locker in the Bronco should be used carefully on that delicate independent suspension front end or you'll wipe out tie rods and half-shafts. We spent many years torching out independent suspensions from mini trucks to re-fit them with beam axles. Otherwise good information for beginners.
I am guessing having to stop to lock the diffs is a manual bronco thing. I can lock the diffs on the fly. I do love how you can lock the front and rear differential’s independently.
I don't understand why that's blocked out? I could see a lockout if a wheel is spinning but you cannot always stop and lock especially on snow or sand.
And the most important one you didn’t mention - don’t bring your muddy rig to the local car wash and leave everyone else with piles of your mud. Be courteous 24/7. Not just on trail. ❤
Have to disagree on the styling. The boxy style of the Sante Fe may be practical, but IMO, it is the ugliest SUV on the market. It also is a couple of classes larger than the Crosstrek. The actual direct competitor to the Crosstrek is the Kona. IMO, from Hyundai, I wouldn't even consider the Sante Fe. I would pick the Kona, Tuscon(smaller) or the larger, more expensive Palisade over the Sante Fe.
i just dont see the point in dragging cars through beautiful areas that you should observe on foot. or take a dirt bike. i just feel like the challenge and excitement that comes from off roading comes from successfully using your car to do some shit that a car really wasn't made to do. and your doing it at the expense of the environment. and they make rugged go karts for this exact type of hobby, if you wanna go adventure and live out of your car thats one thing but just taking a to b trip doesn't seem worthwhile all things considered
What's your best off-roading tip or trick? Let us know in the comments!
Happy to see that you guys pointed out the big golden rule of pick up after yourself.

Like a boss, Emme Hall. One of the best out there.
So great to see Emme Hall.

Great to see Emme do her thing!
Love Emme.
Nice, upbeat and entertaining
Best Video on the Topic, Thank you Emme 😃

Great tips! I would add that at least for a manual transmission, practice, practice, and practice! It makes everything easier.

Great shout-out for Sons of Smokey!

Emme kicks ass!
That trail seems great and easy enough for newbies such as myself with a Bronco manual. Where is that trail located?

Yeah Emme!
Loved the Sons of Smokey mention
YEAH BUDDY!

Car wash owner?
@@eighty6films naw just someone who hates assssssholes leaving others with their problems.
Also why you should hand wash your own car. You never know what the car before you had on it that might scratch your car in the automatic car wash
@0:34 Nevigate? Is that like Navigating but how Neve Campbell would do it? Just giving you crap. I like the video.
Hello Emme
#4. Navigate! Not Nevigate. I’m sure it’s a typo. 😅 other than this, a great video. Thanks.
I want to know what your small vehicle is being 2 wd
Not so many can afford to damage a new vehicle
take care of the environment
I am only here to see if Emmy again dumps soda into the interior of new trucks that she borrowed.
Click here if you’d like to see Emmy attempt to change one of those wheels.

Full size shovel, not those dinky G.I. units.
For the aftermath of those Mountain House meals.
Wait, you were talking about packing out the poop, right?
@@exordis that too. 😁

I had to turn this off because your delivery was so condescending.
Those tires are complete garbage! All they do is fling and launch rocks into space. Shame on you Ford for using these trash tires.
Goodyear Rockflingers. That’s catchy.
My ears :( so loud.
So you don't have a volume control? 😂Gtfo
@@MrEMann no it’s her voice. Nothing to do with turning volume down.
