driving in 4 x 2 is what messes the tracks up in the first place
True, tracks and car. Not a usual habit. Went out to see if it could be done. Most probably would have worked if I deflated more
Great bush fix, and looks like you found a great workshop to weld it👍
Thanks and yes Danie and Danie did a fantastic job
The hidden damage on the things we buy used is often the bugaboo. Good job getting her back on the road. Excellent MacGyvering. 🚐
Thanks, that had me sweating being stuck in the middle of nowhere in the dark. Had to make a plan
Dankie vir die joyride. Die roete is soos 'n toffie appel. Taai maar lekker.
Well said Fred! Sal dit weer doen al gaan dit weer so
Wat n toer dankie vir deel
Sal hom more oordoen, problems and all. Lekker ongerepte en veilige natuurskoon
As usual very good and ready to repair with what is there, a bit fast on the bumpy .... 😂 👏👏👏👍
And the brain yells slow done! To no avail?
@@Overlandervanman yess😂👍
Absolutely awesome adventure and story to tell. Dankie. As jy af vishoek se kant ry miskien kan jy vir koffie stop as ons in is.
Dankie, en dankie vir die uitnodiging
Here is part one of solo trip: ruclips.net/video/s_iNuqi_JAc/видео.html
That looked like a lot of fun.
If I remember correctly your Van is on a patrol chasis or patrol axles.
Might have a excuse now to upgrade the steering components.
You are correct. Van has Patrol axles. Yep, going to go everything again and make it bulletproof
Did the trip down to the Spoeg River mouth in my old stock standard Triton 4x4. Had to do a lot of spade work at the beginning. What an adventure! Still can't believe the bakie left the place on its own wheels. You have to be brave or stupid to do such a trip solo.
Yes it can be very stressful to drive that area solo. Well done on making it all on your own.
Very brave in a little car. But I have to admit, even the most robust vehicles have failures unexpected. I prepared my military Unimog U1700 for 5 years and on its first trip to central Australia, the gearbox failed. Thats life, and it can bring out the worst but hopefully the best when you ask Jesus for guidance.
Yep ,so true. Had to get very creative to be able to reach the next town.
Jy trêk jou ryding deur jou gat. Vat dit rustig en geniet die omgewing om jou.
Dink jy moet bietjie verder in die comments lees. Was verplig om vinniger deur die dik sand in 4x2 te ry omdat ek met onpaar bande geeindig het - axle windup veel erger skade as om in 4x2 deur sand te druk. Onthou ook die kameras laat als ook vinniger lyk as wat dit is
I don't get the point of driving those roads in 4x2? It just messes up the road even further for the next vehicle to use it.
I didn't feel the need for a long explanation on the other reason but now feel it is warrented. I was forced to drive with odd sized tyres =axle wind up. Didn't say anything. Wanted to see who is sharp enough to see that tyre and spare not the same size
@@Overlandervanman But in your intro The Challenge was to See how far you could get in 4x2 only?
Yes for two reasons . One i wanted to see if whole route is do-able in 4x2 after several requests .I also ended up being sort of forced to do it in 4x2 and only select 4x4 when really needed because of axle wind up. You can then only go short distances in 4x4 or you will break your transfer case
Doubt if you would have gotten bad diff wind up in that thick sand. But thanks for sharing anyway. We all learn from each other
Good job. Did you deflate the wheels before enter that sand road?
Yes, but not enough. As I entered the Park I asked the warden re condition of roads and recommended pressure. He said good and 1,8b. Way too much and that sandy patch caught me off guard cause around sharp bend
Danie en Klein Danie(Muskiet - want in Namaqualand het almal n bynaam) het al baie mense uitgehelp.
We stayed at Houthoop during one Christmas and on the morning of 26 December I was supposed to drive to Saldanha to visit my parents. The car battery was completely dead, couldn’t even jump it. We towed the car to Kleinzee to people we know there and tried to figure out what to do. Kleinzee at that time was very run down and had basically nothing there. Everything in the Northern Cape, Namaqualand region, will be closed on 26 Dec. Even the closest biggest town in Springbok, everything was closed. Danie was open and working and two weeks before started to sell batteries. Can you believe it. I basically broke down in the most unlikely place to get help, but we got it.
They are extremely helpful and competent on top of that. Glad you could vouch for them too.
dude how fast did you drive over that terrain that was hectic hahha
Way too fast for sure. Was too late to engage 4x4 and tried to push through jn 4x2. Was only able to do short distances in 4x4 because i was forced to drive with one odd sized wheel
Nice vehicle.. just need a sensible driver.
Dankie . Lees my comments oor axle wind up dan sal jy verstaan. Ek is glad nie so wild soos dit lyk nie.
Ons weer jou shower set up wys asb?
Loer bietjie by die video oor hoe meganisme werk en van tour 2 wys ook n stuk daaroor

Jy impress niemand om in 4x2 aan te donner nie. Neuk net die pad (en jou kar) op... Nice video andersins.
Gaan lees asb my antwoord hieroor onder comments . Het geen keuse gehad nie. As ek moet kies tussen axle wind up en pad opdonner dan kies ek elke keer nr 2. Dink dit worf oordryf . Gaan ons nou alle nie 4x4 voertuie van grondpaaie begin verwyder?
hello, what axles do you have?
It is Nissan Patrol axles
@@Overlandervanman what's wrong with the original axles?
This model was not originally 4x4. Used Patrol axles to make it 4x4
To drive in two wheel drive when you don't have to is not a challenge. It is simply stupid.
Think you need to read the other comments . I explained why i had no choice . Was forced to drive with odd sized tyres- Believe me axle wind up way more serious than driving in two wheel drive and only engaging 4wd when absolutely necessary
I could not "cy"
First dmg because of stupid speeding didn't left back a mark .. some people need to break more before learning .. 🤦♂️
Some never do .. it depends on their pocket ..
Think you should read my previous reply on why i had little choice in going the 4x2 route which inevitebly asked for more momentum. Agreed, way too fast yes and since i've got empty pockets lessons learnt
Cy🤣😂
Ah, a viewer that understands my humor😎
