Offroad in the sand with the Mitsubishi L300, 90 Mile Beach

[@agalah408]

A fun trip in a classic van. I have the 84 4WD model that I have been driving for the past 34 years in Oz. I fitted Central Tyre Inflation to it so I can dial up pressures as I drive. For that sort of work, I'd punch in 12psi. Still my favourite off-road vehicle.

[@SwampChook]

I still can't get over how capable it is, great vehicles.

[@hammerthepirate]

Well done mate lovely spot glad the van behaved looking forward to the next adventure...

[@DavidDoble]

Beautiful place mate. I got a L300 too, great vans!

[@SwampChook]

Thanks, and they sure are. Will go most places

[@toniwrathall8206]

looks like good fun and the van ran well... i'll have to go back up there some time... took the saf there about 16 years ago now...i had a alloys on my farm rano and i was always checking them as i lost one once

[@baron30001]

Awesome man! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Id be mouthing an Anderson plug behind the seat or something to plug you compressor into without having to unload everything out of the way. It would be especially bad if it was hosing down.

[@SwampChook]

That's a great idea!, I think I'll need to do something like that, lifting the seat all the time is annoying.

[@rhondamcginn35]

Well done Sam, wish I was there

[@explorewithmarcus]

I hope the track is Gumfields! I'd love to see the L300 doing Gumfields...:)

Thanks for sharing. If you van is 2.4 petrol do you find it has enough power for sand , hill climbs and motorway.?

[@SwampChook]

Yeah its the 2.4 Petrol, and yes I think it has enough power, more would always be nice but it gets the job done. I've done a bit more soft sand since this video and it copes really well.

[@equestrianalways6132]

@@SwampChook yer there has been a couple on trade me lately. It may need a turbo once you've kitted it out lol

[@davidlang9939]

NOT ENUFF TREAD ON YR TIRES FOR OFF-ROAD. IF UR INTO SOFT SAND OR A WET SOFT PUDDLE, WHERES UR TOW-OUT BUDDY? All wheel drive seems to fit the challenge better. whe the tide was out, it looked gr8 for fat biking. glad u made it back -- consider ur driving close to the waterline when the tide was out, u get bogged in a shallow, and the tide comes in!?!

This area is traveled well enough that it doesn’t take long for someone in a 4x4 to come along
