Stockton Beach - Toyota 4X4 V8DUCK goes to the beach!

Dashcam footage from V8DUCK as we tackled Stockton Beach in Newcastle NSW Australia.
The sand was very soft but DUCK handled it well.

Hi, is this an 4x4 import from Japan? It goes rather well as I know Stocktons soft sand quite well. Have you got a rear lsd diff installed? Looking to go the hiace way but was hesitant in its beach 4x4 capabilities. Good luck on the channel and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. Cheers Noel

Yes this is an import from Japan. We don't have any rear diffs installed, but we have upgraded the suspension. As you can see, it's quite capable on sand. The only issue was the lack of power as it's only 2.7L petrol no turbo, it was revving pretty hard the whole time. I would suggest getting a diesel for better performance.

@@V8DUCK4x4 oh that explains the 2/10 torque rating. Stockton has a lot of soft sand and specially the beach front I drive a 105 cruiser and am regularly deflating to 16-20 psi and when I’ve struck soft sand bowls where it doesn’t look like your ever getting out I’ve had to drop right down to 10 psi. Over all the video shows that the hiace kept up with the mux if not better. I assume the mux didn’t air down far enough. What size tyres and rims are you running? Is it only a 2 “ lift? South Australia has never been on our radar and since the missus and I have seen your vids it looks very appealing. Wife works from home so a little office set up with starlink and she can have a wonderful office views every wknd. 👍🏾🙏🏾

@@noelvelasquez8679 we have 16in rims with 215/70/R16 BF Goodrich K02 and on top of the factory 2' lift we added another 2' to it. The MUX was on road tyres so she couldn't drop the pressure as much, I was sitting on 18 the way in and then 12 on the way back.

We named our van V8DUCK, it's just a name
