@@riaanhorn200 hi Riaan - it took us around 4 & 1/2 to 5 hours but that includes all the filming we did. and we were on our own so we were perhaps extra cautious. what we had not factored is how long it actually takes to get anywhere to camp after Van Zyl's . But it was grand!
Good evening and thank you for sharing your experience, question please, love your Land Cruiser, what mode dit you use to get down VanZyls, also I think you had BF Goodrich tyres right, what bar dit you have them on, last one, Rob my wife wants to know what tablets your wife took to stay so calm😅 😅
Hi guys - we used low wheel drive where it was needed and rock mode on the hairy scary section. We ran the BF Goodrich All Terrains 2.4 back and 1.8 in the front - we are fairly heavy. Bear in mind the BFs don't like to run too soft because of potential cracks on the side wall - this is our experience and we picked up a couple of cracks on the dunes in Nam. Rod has since had all the tyres checked and they are all still good but they look um 'well worn'. Because we were solo my wife had to step up and she was concentrating very hard on being a good navigator and enjoying the scenery . We had also watched a lot of videos so we knew what to expect.
Thanks for the upload love it
Thank you so much
What an entertaining video of your experience down the pass. I 've seen many videos but yours was definitely one of the best.
