Pretty awesome, don't know if I agree with only letting tyre pressures down on very soft ground though. I normally run no higher than 20 PSI off road, and down to about 15 on sand, but maybe that's just me.
You're absolutely correct. I think some people just do it when they think it's necessary but I do it all the time even on the dirt road leading to the trail because it's usually so damn bumpy
Is he still alive? I have watched this video a looooong time ago. This is a wonderful video, everybody starting with 4x4 driving should be instructed like this video does... If i remember well this was a two part video.Ah, now I see this second part is also on this channel.
I know right! Haha and let's get these guys opinion on how to get a new Defender ready for off-roading. They were worried about that license plate barely sticking down on that steel bumper imagine all the plastic bumper covers hanging off of the new Defender with all the independent suspension and airbags. How funny. Sad thing is if you showed me a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon without a body on it back then and ask me what company I thought it might be in the future I would say oh it's a Land Rover wow solid axles articulating Factory front and rear lockers with electric sway bar disconnects how awesome or even a Grenadier but no you show me a new Defender and I'm like oh wow it's a Range Rover and it's a discovery with different body. Forget all these techniques you can just select it with a lever. How pathetic. They should have called the new Defender something else and came out with something like the Grenadier it really is a huge mistake but all they want to do is make money in a bunch of rich people just buy whatever is for sale. But I bet 20 years down the road you won't see a bunch of them going off-road the way you see a bunch of old disco's
skinny tires believe it or not are much better than fat tires. Skinny tyres will create a longer track when air down, similar to a excavator track whilst a fat tyre will creater and wider track which is not what you want. Also skinny tyres cut down to the grippy ground where fat tyres will sit ontop of the slippery stuff. Ever notice how military vehicles usually have skinny tires? Tis for a reason :)
There are advantages and disadvantages for both designs. Skinny tires cut, wide tires can achieve that 'floating' effect. Don't knock either side before truly knowing about both, yo.
+JkandI when you got several feet of mud/snow to work with. Instead of cutting through and getting high centered, the wide foot print will help pack down and sit on top of the "mush" like the action that snowshoes provide
I think the video said 3rd gear in *low.* It is suggested to not make the wheels slip due to high torque, keeping static friction to the ground prevents you from loosing grip on a steep hill.
I would say go out there and figure it out for yourself it all depends on how steep the hill is but definitely not first gear basically you want a torque reduction
Gosh I would love to see how this guy responds to an off-road Trail here in Arizona with totally off-camber rough Rocky steep sections that those open differentials couldn't even handle. I guess that's why when the traction control system came out a lot of the British people thought it was the end-all-be-all technology when they claim he don't need lockers if you know how to drive right while down in Australia or here in southern USA we have trails that prove otherwise
@@ayi5845 jeeps are the best 4x4...so sad that land rover is no longer in the game and the new defender we all know will be nothing like the old..so sad
I'd like to see how much these instructors complained when all the new air suspension stuff came out especially on the new Defender LOL I wonder which ones sold out and which ones are looking at the Grenadier now. Yeah anyone can justify that the new stuff does well but will it last and isn't even necessary when Jeep Rubicon Wrangler can get away with solid axles and Lockers in a modern vehicle. They make it seem like as if they had to make everything all fancy and it was inevitable LOL yeah increase the Creature Comforts inside on certain trim levels if you want but look underneath a new Defender it's a Range Rover and it's a discovery they're all the same now how sad. What's even more sad is that a cheap company like Jeep makes all these Street models that can't even go off-road worth a crap and still make one of the best off-road vehicles while Land Rover makes only four by fours that are pretty good off-road and luxurious but way too expensive and definitely not tough or reliable for doing more than a short off-road trip if you'd like to go out for days or weeks at a time far from civilization. Take the name off the vehicles and I would expect the Grenadier or the Rubicon Wrangler to be a Land Rover if I had to predict from the time this vehicle was made until right now not knowing how I Land Rover would end up becoming
I have only one rule for you freaks that made this video.......NEVER RELY on a Range/Land Rover or any vehicle made by them NEVER! Get a Toyota and enjoy the ride! You will get tired of offroading before your Toyota gets tired of dealing with your adventures!

The green jumpsuit is too much. Totally British.
The green jumpsuit is a Land Rover instructor's signature.
Well Done.
Very nice film about 4x4!!! Good job👍👍👍. Keep it up🤝.
American way:
1) use automatc gearbox
2) floor it
3) stay at max rpm no matter how stuck you are
4) "I'm offroading god!"
Cassette tapes... Brilliant
13:44 "...incredible axle articulation..." So sexy!
What a nice burble from the V8....
That's not a V8, but a 200Tdi.
Excellent!
Great demonstration! Learn lots of tricks!

A real english video!!!

Let's look forward to a fresh video for new Defender reminding us to secure our loose cassette tapes.!

So amazed that thing didnt get stuck once with those skinny tires

Skinny tyres will create a longer track when air down, similar to a excavator track whilst a fat tyre will creater and wider track which is not what you want.
Also skinny tyres cut down to the grippy ground where fat tyres will sit ontop of the slippery stuff.

Name me a situation where Floating is advantageous?

See, the that vehicle has fat tires and floats in water, big advantage. ;-)
when l have a failed hill climb, when l started descending in reverse gear is it better to turn off rear diff lock ?
Leave it locked
is the 3rd gear best for climbing a maddy hill?
I think the video said 3rd gear in *low.* It is suggested to not make the wheels slip due to high torque, keeping static friction to the ground prevents you from loosing grip on a steep hill.
I would say go out there and figure it out for yourself it all depends on how steep the hill is but definitely not first gear basically you want a torque reduction
Great video but the narrator was far too overexcited!
What's the difference between H and HL,and N , LL...
I believe h is high unlocked, hl is high locked, L is low unlocked and ll is low locled. I dont know what n is though.
+Mani Kurian N is Neutral ie not in gear.

20 seconds into the video and the narrator is talking about condensation build up :D Classic Land Rover problem ;)
Cheers
Burn out in my undies. This video is remarkable.
there are locker in four wheel drive
Not on all four wheel drives.
.....such as the Series Land Rovers nor the flatfender Ford/Willys jeeps.
Diif lock is between front and rear axles. The axles themselves remain "open" differentials.
This is why I drive a jeep
yeap lol its either 2wd, 4hi or 4lo haha
Brandon Miller thanks for telling us soccer mom

i love jeeps more than land rovers, but its sad to see land rover is no longer a serious off roader
Too much knobs!
Boooring. This is informative definitely but only if youve never seen dirt in your life

note to toyota drivers , you can start so long !
Okay class to avoid all this crap just drive a Suzuki Sidekick /Geo Tracker or a Suzuki Samuria. Enjoy the ride kids. :)
Just bay a Toyota
