    Jardine River Crossing

    Hi All


    I have some video - unfortunately not mine - of a sand Iveco 4x4 dual cab tray attempting the Jardine crossing from North to South on about the 15th September 2014 .


    The thing that I find difficult still is that with 36 or 37 inch tyres and locking transfer and axle cross locks and 24 forward gears he got stuck and was towed out. The water was relatively shallow where he got stuck but the sand is REALLY soft.


    To me the point is it is still possible to have all the gear and no idea. I never talked to him but I guess he might not have had his tyres pressures low enough and I think that he was going to fast and probably pressed the accelerator when he should have left it alone.


    So please think about what you are doing and if you don't know ask a few people, good techniques on a reasonable vehicle will get you a lot further than all the best gear and not knowing how to drive it in a lot of cases


    Regards Mark

    Haven't been on the cape yet. Thought you had to use the car ferry - if this is the place you are talking about?

    Hi All


    If it was posted the one of the standard hj75 on 31x10.5x15 with no lockers or other traction aids a few days earlier should go up too - but it won't for political reasons

    What is the point of posting this thread if you aren't going to put up the video?
