This video is a good lesson in specs versus reality too. Some of those side-by-side type rigs actually do NOT have as good of a break over angle as the grand cherokee trailhawk... HOWEVER... they're light and they don't sink into the sand, so they perform better. Crazy stuff.

[@Connor_Dempsey]

Great video. Cool shots with the drone and when driving up the hill

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks 👍

[@trailrunnah8886]

That Hemi screaming up the sand dunes just sounds brilliant! That's all the reason you need to buy one right there, LOL. I don't think my 4.slow 4Runner could have made it up that.

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@vincesmith764]

Gen 4 runners have a really reliable v8.....just saying.

[@Hallo.R.A]

Your most awesome video..realy...my fav. Trial sand... Keep it up dear

[@MrKozanitis]

As usual great video! You are looking for...adventures, don't you? And you find them, Brad and family! I enjoy seeing Sam being his usual intrepid self!

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks Evan! We do find adventures!

[@MrKozanitis]

Prodigal Overland Indeed...I see that, Brad! I so wish I were there.

One of the years we were up there, the right side closest to the lake was crazy steep and tall, not even the buggies were trying it. So I said what the hell and tried it in my F250. First try I let out too early. Thought I was gonna roll it backing down at the top, but got it down safely, gave it another shot and made it right up. Also had to recover a broken Wrangler and pull him out to the parking lot. Another time I ended up pulling a Humvee and Ram with the fro suspension broken back out. Always a good time up there!

I had an 2002 Grand Cherokee. Took it up test hill last year. Once I figured out how to keep it happy, I had no issues going up those dunes. I will say, the 2nd hill was miss leading. I sent her flying over it, no damage thankfully. But loads of fun shown up my buddies built JKU. lol

[@bdd1469]

You didn't " show up your buddies built JKU " , you showed up your buddies lack of driving ability.

[@catthegearguy2048]

Awesome content as usual!!!! Your videos ought to be standard viewing material for anyone looking to do it right without a crazy offroad-only rig.

[@darksideemt]

Man that place was packed but looks like everyone had a ton of fun for the most part. Glad you did roll it on that one spot. You need to invest in a Matt's Off Road Recovery rope, way safer than that static tow strap especially for this kind of work.

[@TheCybercrash]

spectacular offroad fun you guys had. Great to see the Jeep did really well.

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks! We did have fun

[@vincesmith764]

Cool thumbs up to having good clean family fun.just remember to order your."brads battery quick connect" today.

[@wiseoldman649]

Good video work. Better than most pov videos that get posted by others. Enjoyed the show. Hey, just throw on a set of super scoopers and a hellcat engine, and those jeeps can go anywhere. :) Good job.

[@ProdigalOverland]

Yep. Those would do the trick!

[@matthewward7524]

Great video. One of my favorite places to go.

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks!

[@matthewward7524]

@@ProdigalOverland I made I up my first time up Test Hill. Failed my 2nd attempt, in a Wrangler years ago, Last year didn’t attempt. Too crowded, wish they didn’t allow folks park up there but at least forces people to slow down.

[@ryanmoen6239]

Looks like a great time.

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks. We had fun!

[@flutini1]

Nice to see how the WK2 does on sand. She was not built for sand and was not sporting sand friendly tires yet, she did better than expected (albeit expectations were pretty low for a WK2 on sand dunes). Haha. Enjoyed the video and love you all to death!

[@ProdigalOverland]

Thanks Pam! I hope you guys are well!

[@joskjj3625]

This looks awesome

[@mattfliess6002]

I've been out there a few times and I'm going back in a couple weeks. I'm pretty happy to see they aren't enforcing the No Drag Racing rule that they claimed they would be

@@ProdigalOverland How is the Quadra Lift system doing? All right? Doesn't it break under stress?

[@chrishall9381]

Good shit! Love it! How fast were you going crushing it up that hill?

[@ProdigalOverland]

Honestly, I'm not sure. You basically floor it and as you crest the dune ease off the throttle.

[@biggsly5000]

Jeff stopped on a flatter spot at the top, don’t think the land cruiser has a better break over angle? Maybe it does?

[@user-cu8tl5ir1u]

Does ESP and ABS cause the momentum lose ? I have a summit and i live in the middle east ,i found that i get more fun and success when i remove the fuses control these systems , just return them when bogged so they help you get out . Thanks for the great channel .

[@fahdabdulaziz5067]

Great video and great adventure. What height were you climbing the dune? Offroad 1?

[@ProdigalOverland]

Yep off road 1. I tried raising up to level 2 to get unstuck. But it didn’t help. 🙄

[@Striperbass2]

What tire pressure you using?

[@salimalfhdi2960]

You don’t know how drive in sand You have Jeep you must don’t stuck in sand.

[@Hallo.R.A]

Are those jeeps v8 or v6??

[@ProdigalOverland]

Ours is a v8. The others were the v6

[@Hallo.R.A]

Is there difference between v8 and v6 in offroad performance?

[@bdd1469]

If you think it's hard not getting high centered in a Jeep or Toyota try it in a stock Corvette.... Wish I would have been up there that day so I could show dude how " awesome " his land cruiser isn't, and how unimpressive that cruiser next to a Corvette with street tires on it.

[@J.Lavigne]

Any tips for removing sand from window bays?

[@ProdigalOverland]

Nope sorry man. I still have sand in My Jeep from the first time we went to Moab.

[@J.Lavigne]

@@ProdigalOverland I hate the sound of sand rubbing on my windows everytime I roll them up or down.

[@ProdigalOverland]

[@wilwynddoesnotcomply7436]

Toyota arrogance is aggravating and unfounded. All you need for sand is good sand tires and weight to footprint ratio. That’s why those side by sides and ATVs scoot around so well.

[@wilwynddoesnotcomply7436]

@@SlumberMachine I sure hope so. Personally, I still winge at comments like that due to personal experiences.

[@hj7993]

Indeed. Land Cruiser has more chance to get bogged before has longer chassis, lower ground clearance and heavier but the spot he got has more flat space than others.
