Hot n dry means that clay powder sand is so soft n thin. You need balloons to glide on it if your tires bite your gonna be eaten alive.

If you have seen his videos in the past he Said you want low tire pressure in the hot sand

[@husamabudawoud3258]

@@Aidan-g4j lower or higer pressure is part of it ; the tire tread aggressiveness is also a factor. Again it's all about pressing down the sand to get that solid grip. Tires that bite into the sand move it from under you while you grind in place. We drive through the desert for a living. Usually I'm happy with a light pickup that has a diesel engine. I put on sand balloons for tiers. Air down is moderate and I make use of a light foot and that lower rpm torque. Makes gliding though sand way easier and consistent. Not talking about Matt here he has his rigs built for it and each serves a well rounded purpose to the letter. The gas engines he uses are stroked torque monsters and make his jeeps light and nimble.

From another rollback operator. EV's for the most part are direct drive. - Motor directly connected to the drive shafts. Dead battery. If you tow these vehicles free wheeling there's a chance of doing damage to the motors. I some cases permanently destroying the electric motors. Even getting the vehicle up onto a rollback can do some damage to the electric motors. Just so as your aware.

[@lowrangemaniac5326]

So what's the purpose of the neutral gear on EVs? And in the particular chase of the Jeep Wrangler in the video, why you don't shift the transfer case, not the transmission into neutral?

[@Ganiscol]

For the most part, they dont even have a drive shaft but a motor for one or both axles or even per wheel in more rare cases, but thats not really the point that makes a difference. You should put it in towing mode to disengage the motor(s). Most EVs should have such a mode by now. Generally, flatbed is certainly the way to go and that short and slow spinning of the wheels should not cause any damage even with no tow mode engaged. The underlying issue is the regenerative braking that feeds electricity back into the battery and as such causes a resistance, kinda like pulling any vehicle while applying the brakes, thats gonna cause issues over time. In case of an EV, you would be constantly trying to charge the battery while pulling the vehicle for miles and miles which really isnt a good idea, both for the motor(s) and the battery. Yanking that Jeep out of its misery with it helping, was perfectly fine, though.

[@dhag72]

Silver Lake has such a small ORV area I think it's just vehicles/space ratio that really makes Silver Lake dangerous on the weekends compared to Sand Hollow.

You also gotta figure that Silver lake brings in people from all over the midwest so on perfect weekends it ends up being over-run with people who take it as possibly one of their only chances/weekends to really go full send on their rigs for the year in that type of environment, which makes for poor decision making. Pair that with Sand Hollow State Park being 20k acres where as Silver Lake SP being 3k, you get what @brianv5031 is referencing, way too many people in such a smaller area making way too loose of choices. The drag area is getting a reputation to go to at your own risk esp if they don't have a sanctioned event going on.

6:41 and 7:21 A relliable indicator to know if you need to air down in sand or not is if when you're pushing the car and the wheels begin to bounce, the transfer case shifter even begins to shake in some makes and models. This usually happens more on the front tyres than the rear ones, if the air pressure is way to high, they'll be bouncing like a piston moving up and down in an engine.

This JEEP is a 4XE: no EV, but a PHEV. It has a very small battery which does not add much to the weight and give you a 100% electric range of about 30 miles. In 4x4 these cars have the front wheels driven by the combustion engine, while the rear wheels are driven by electric motors.

Content Request: could you find an old Subaru (like mid 00s or 2010s), do some light mods, and do a sand test with one? I see lots of videos from mud runner competitions, and the Subarus always seem to make it through stuff that some trucks won't. I want to see if a Subaru is any good in the sand compared to say the Banana or Morrvair?

[@stuartpickles6907]

Subaru are garbage. Why waste the time or resources?

[@dhag72]

@@stuartpickles6907 lol no they're not. (Well, mechanically they are, but as a tech it's cheap to run one) They're an absolute blast offroad, thats the whole point. I just can't do it here as it's illegal to drive on the beaches, and anything else is clay or mud.

[@dhag72]

@TheyCallMeBabo he picked out a spud truck, a short bus, and a rear engined car to completely change it. I'm sure he could handle a little Subaru. You guys are such downers, any comment just gets shot down. Have some fun in your life once in a while

[@russbell6418]

@@dhag72 Just my guess, wide tires for flotation would make the already underpowered Subaru super wimpy. If you put an EJ-22 in a Brat, maybe… Is there a Subaru off-road KZbin person? Maybe you could bug them to try Sand Hollow!

[@dhag72]

@@russbell6418 nah there's only a few channels I watch lol. I ask because they primarily deal with sand, and as a towing company, it wouldn't be hard to get your hands on one eventually

One of my fondest memories of my childhood was when my grandma took Hector (the poodle mix) to the groomers, as soon as she opened the car door when they got back he ran straight to the horse pasture and rolled in the freshest greenest pile he could find. He knew beyond the shadow of doubt that if the cow dogs saw him all gussied up smelling like rose bushes he’d never be able to leave the porch again😂😂. What folks don’t seem to understand is dogs think they smell gorgeous even though we humans with our limited smellervision can’t appreciate the complexity and nuances that the dogs have

That 100 degrees can't be that hot, its a dry heat and Matt still has his winter coat on.

[@61rampy65]

Lately, 100 feels feels cool compared to what we have been having. I've seen 120+ for many days straight on my patio. Dry heat or not, it's just effing HOT in the desert.

[@brandonspaulding8097]

The Morvair is one of the coolest vehicles I have ever seen in my entire life. I have never had a Corvair but have always wanted one. This is such a classy looking retro and capable vehicle. Very very cool. Station wagons were the original SUVs. I have always thought it would be a cool idea to lift a station wagon and turn it into a raised SUV.

[@Pilot545]

9 seconds? Got it! I’ll remember that next time. 😂 Edit: the Morrvaire has got to be my favorite off roader in the world!! And I have a 2023 Raptor that I love. I’d still take the Morrvaire! 🤙🏼

[@disabledarmyveteran]

It’s been reported that towing an electric vehicle has its own challenges because towing an electric vehicle can damage the vehicle unless you know how to tow it. I don’t know how myself I just viewed a video showing damaged vehicle from being towed.

[@gregbrooks3577]

That may be true but the Wrangler is a hybrid. It has a 4 cylinder engine.

[@seanmccreery3492]

I would appreciate you teaching these people how to use a spare tire in a winch when they're stuck in the sand. Instead of calling a toll for every sand stuck. Simply bury the tire in the winch to it you're welcome right out in low range.

[@fastinradfordable]

How do you “bury a tire inside a winch”??!

[@kylepearce8437]

Hey Matt I know the sand out there is different but back in the 70s, that’s back in the 1900s for you kids. My dad and his buddies had a delivery van, step van. That they made into a camper/fishing buggy. They put airplane tires on it and that big old 2wd truck went anywhere on the sand in the outer banks.

[@codydunn242]

Interesting the EV are way heavier than gas cars and people think they can drive them in sand. Lol

[@jonahfastre]

It’s a PHEV, so it’s not much heavier than a standard 4door wrangler

[@Toolingabout]

People drive EVs in the sand all the time, they do great. My Ram 3500 weighs 8,000 lbs and I drive it in the sand regularly.

[@backwoodstherapy]

​@@jonahfastreyeah, I think it's about 800 lbs heavier than a normal jeep. About the same as a rig equipped for overlanding.
