Unimog dune climb

Climbing out of Pacific city beach drive area with the U1500. Yes we made it, but it took about 30 minutes!

Let's hope it doesn't end like the Ice Cold in Alex first ascent of the dune..

Before Christmas guys

Damn, let those tyres down bro.

[@Vanagone]

The dune is much steeper than it looks, and yes tires were deflated.

[@philbox4566]

+Vanagone Really? How many PSI were you running? Was out on the weekend with my mog running the Michelin tyres and was down at 30 psi. I did have bead locks though so wasn't concerned about running the bead off the rim. Many years ago I was sitting on the back of a LARC and he pointed it at a soft sand dune that would have been easily 45 degrees. Now those things are 12 tons. 4 pound in the front tyres and 6 in the back would you believe. He headed straight up the dune, no slip at all. Admittedly he did have sand tyres on but all the same, bag those suckers out and extend the footprint and big machines can go up a wall of sand.

That fine is at least a foot and a half deep, give him credit

[@RotesKleid411]

If there are any other cars they did it?

[@tbones55]

White knuckle thrills!

[@davesherry5384]

you might have taken 1.5 hours off if you dropped the tyre pressures....

[@yakirberesheet]

Don't know if you made it to the top, I barbiqued meanwhile a nice steak..

[@jimbobjones3391]
