    Tyre footprint lengthening is clearly the most important. Less electronics kicking in also makes sense. On sand in my puma I've never had my TC kick in. And low down engine torque in Puma is noticeably better in low range than in my 300tdi. Is yours a 300tdi or Td5?
    as this was my first big desert trip the first 3 hours in Simpson I actually tried every possible gear and transfer case combination until I Found what works best for me

    yes I did when doing big red the difficult left track I went up in 3 and 2nd low range with both lockers engaged from memory

    my one is a TD5 with a VVT

    My son is in Frankfurt at the moment studying on a German Govt Scholarship. Second time he has been there to study. He is only 16. I will show him the videos. He loves Deefers.

    Cheers

    Well done, you made it look easy in your Deefer. Different sands, temps, gradients all need a different combo, it becomes intuitive which gear to select with practice. Steady, right gear and keeping an even speed/torque load, beats the bull-at-a-gate aproach most of the time. Thanks again for the video. Great see all the different approaches each driver / vehicle took.
