What recovery strap do you use? All my offroading is on the beach here in NY (Long Island), I do not do many recoveries but have a kinetic rope (only had the need to use it once for someone stuck). You have the experience so I am curious what you find works best for sand recoveries besides the very capable land rover you drive.
Just curios on where you were hooked to on the 4runner. Did they have after market recovery points or were they the factory points. I keep reading people saying if you use the factory points you will rip the radiator out of the front of the vehicle and others say they are just fine for most situations unless you are suctioned in some deep wet muddy ruts. I ask because I have one of those TuRDs. 😁
It was the factory points. I haven't looked recently but I think they are on the end of the frame. Never had any issues hooking to 4runners, tundras or tacomas with those points. Just look at your hook attachment point. Some cars have tie-down spots and I would not hook to those. The Rover has one that hangs down from the radiator frame and I'd never pull on something like that very hard.
I roll on Pismo Beach my LR3 rolls on top of the sand, very weird I’m on 265-35-22 while everyone was stuck or engine straining, my Land Rover was good, but next time 4L
@karman2020 I try not to air down people below 15 psi. I've aired them down to 10psi before telling them to take it easy, and the next thing I know, they are doing donuts and blow the tire off the bead.
It will return. They do it about once a year after an incident where first responders can't make it out there. A good heavy traffic weekend and the sand gets bad again.
Learn so much from your videos. Thanks..just watching is learning.
Glad to hear that.
I'm pretty sure the this will be in GTA 6 with the Floridiots.

@BK-rz7xq I just picked up a Fiery Red rope that works well. Alltopz is a cheap good option that I use as well.
@@Land_Raver Thank you! Love the content, I can watch these recoveries for hours.

Easy summer day!

Had an LR3 that did very well in the sand as well. This sand is very fine and super hot so it causes a lot of issues.
@@Land_Raver oh ok 👌
10 psi is the way to go in soft sand. 5 psi is my guilty pleasure though
You running bead locks?
@@Land_Raver no. just be cautious not to go hard turns

That takes away from all the entertainment removing all the sand from the entrance

car culture is so dumb
Cars are inanimate objects. They don't have culture.
