His gearing was way too shallow for the ascent, look at how all his momentum guttered out just before he'd slid back. A deeper gear ratio would have allowed more power and torque beyond where he lost it all.
Great video, but surpased by the driving skill show here! Had the driver not turned the wheel correctly as was done during the backslide, a rollover was certain. Bravo!
@pooperscooper71 Really? then proves the rise with my subaru justy 1.0 4wd, 4-wheel traction and lower gearbox. No shit, I'm sure that will not go justy because it is illogical to climb a wall the same goes for a truck that weighs 2 tons (wheels attached to the ground therefore there will be no traction problems) and has a junk motor 110hp. Here we see that the wheels do not slip but remain arrested
@FEGTTTSDH You need a large footprint. That means lowering psi to create a greater flatspot on the tyre for traction. You dont need power because the last thing you are going to want on a steep rock face is speed. If you've ever been in a Landy or many other proper offroad vehicle you would know that first gear low ratio will get you about 20km/h at redline. That car had ample power. It merely needed lower psi or better rubber and steady accelerator to avoid flipping it. I do this regularly.
@GrandmasterN My old series 3 would have gotten up there no worries with half the power. Lower pressure in tyres would have made this climb successful. Ample torque is already in that car and landies have an incredibly low 1st gear in low range.
Well, that Defender didn't have TC. Have a look at the Disco 3. Or the Prado or Land Cruiser all with TC.
TC makes a huge difference.
On the recovery front, he didn't have ABS either. His wheels are turned to straighten out the car, but since they aren't turning they aren't steering. So he was lucky. That's it. He jumped on the brakes and hoped for the best.
to certain people slagging land rover. banging on about toyota/hilux are king... have a look on here for toyota crashes and you'll see plenty. if that was a toyota or nissan in the same situation, it possibly would have done the same thing. the fact that its a land rover means nothing. different cars for different people. thats why we have a choice. and it does not mean your choice is better than mine, just because its different.
@samiurrahmanshah As you can see though the front wheels were loosing grip.. the engine didn't have enough go to turn the rears... He may also need a stronger clutch..
@danoconnell427 My point exactly, as you said, the front wheels are losing grip. A differential, by its very nature, will channel power through the path of least resistance, which in this case is the front wheels. Therefore, any additional power you add to it will only serve in spinning the front wheels faster.
@taitolento i think if he had diff-locks he would have used them. the center diff-lock in a landrover just distributes equal power to the front and rear wheels. when u engage the centre diff-lock it is just the same as any other 4wd that doesnt have diff-locks. this driver did an exceptional job keeping the vehicle on its wheels. have a look at roll-overs on potato salad hill, theyre all the same, usually no diff-lock, wheels spin, 4wd slides to the side and then rolls. well done driver!
I won't comment on the driver cause he could have just had a brain fart but otherwise be good. But i bet he'd trade his last pair of clean jocks for a set of difflocks before he tries that again.
during the video if you look in the drivers window you can see the left arm holding onto the roof up the hill and down (must have been pretty calm to steer one arm down a hill backwards) he wouldn't of been able to shift into reverse he would have to let go of steering.
@Chorrio50 jajajaja como se atreve ud a decir q la land cruiser es una bestia, esa mierda es para la gente q busca algo mas barato que un Defender. los land cruiser de fabrica son una porqueria, hay q meterles demasiado dinero en modificaciones para que sirvan para algo.
yo he usado un defender 110 por campo durante mucho tiempo y subia una cuesta muy similar a esta a diario por que era mi ruta por la finca que guardaba.
te aseguro que no hablo de vacio.
no me considero un experto ni mucho menos el nº1 del 4x4 pero si que puedo decir que el tio que me enseño a andar por el campo era un pastor ya jubilado que fue el que me enseño la ruta a seguir y el otro fue mi tio que es apicultor que vive casi montado en su viejo land rover santana 5 cilindros. :)
@hoslric demasiada teoria, si que lo afronto mal pero esa cuesta es bastante pronunciada y las continuas perdidas de traccion le hicieron perder traccion a los dos ejes al mismo tiempo con lo cual se fue para atras... apuesto a que el tio estaba muerto de miedo, porque eso acojona. Yo no digo como tiene que subirlo pero quizas si hubiese escogido otra trayectoria hubiera sido mejor y con respecto a las marchas en 1ª reductora se controla mejor.
@nickyjam770 No, it has nothing to do with power. It's a gearing, traction, and weight distribution issue. He's just trying to muscle up the thing. He should have been in his crawling gear, and perhaps air down the tires.
idiots, when you can't make it 1) slam on the brakes, NO CLUTCH!!!! check if the foot brake will hold you and slam it in reverse. release foot brake and without touching your pedals start the engine again you will slowly go down in gear.
TBH I wouldn't want to attempt that without lockers or at least decent traction control - the moment the front wheel spun out and started tramping he'd had it...
You can clearly see he initially tried to hold the wheel straight ..on the first bounce , car turns and he was immediately steering to the left , when the wheel came back down again that left-steering saved it ...he was allready looking to the left . He did pretty good especially with this older lr ..well done!
only a fool keeps on the accelerator when you're sliding backwards. the correct way to regain control is to put it in reverse and (because all real off road rigs are manual) let out the clutch and let the engine slow you down while allowing the tires to roll with the direction of travel instead of against it, allowing steering control to be retained.
@greengeep it doesnt seem he would have had time to switch to reverse, we are watching the video, Im pretty sure for him it all went down pretty fast and did a good job keeping the car form rolling, if it were a mitsubishi that guy would be dead, check out "4X4 GONE WRONG"
yeah, i think that video would b good advertising for a diff-lock company se how the front n rear wheels on the left side jus stopped spinning while all the power was transferred to the left front n rear, scary stuff
As I see it, the landy lost forward momentum because it lacked true lockers front & rear -- you can see the left front and rear totally stop spinning while power is still being applied to right. Then, the driver keeps applying forward power even while sliding downhill instead of immediately shifting into reverse and using both engine compression and controlled braking to maintain optimum descent traction. His downhill slide was uncontrolled, just luck not skill he didn't flip. Learning curve!
Some seriously good driving under pressure. You can see the driver instantly locks the wheel to try and straighten the car, You can see him turning the steering wheel the instant the car starts going sideways. Unfortunetely the front wheels barely scrape the surface on the way down so he couldn't straighten it up.
At the end of the day, no one hurt and the car probably had minimal damage...if anything. Top notch. Long live Land Rover.
Defenders dont have axle lockers, and you can quite clearly see that in the slowmo as the front wheels bounce about as they would do with a standard diff!
All credit to the driver for not killing himself, his car or his passengers
@battenberg72 agree with what you said about the driver, but fitting a Defender with ARB air lockers makes it a monster and climbing that hill would be a pieceof cake
driver did aq sweet job! you can see the wheels turning in the opposite direction to compensate for the angle while rolling backwards, preventing rolling that truck over. bloody nice recovery i say... WELL DONE MATE! 5*****
I own a defender and I admire the abilities of the driver not to roll it but I HAVE to point out that he has no roll cage and he was carrying passengers. This is absolute lunacy and shows a total lack of common sense or respect to life. A driver has a duty of care to safety first. These are obviously not expedition drivers but recreational drivers 'having a laugh'. As an expedition driver myself I would make my passengers climb up seperately. If the Landy had rolled someone would have got hurt!
It wasn't the driver. The car lost traction because it has not traction control or diff locks so it skidded to the side. He did well to keep it straight when it was skidding back down. Absolute props go to the driver because the car didn't roll.
Statesmanls1 Cant agree with you more. Not the drivers falt for that, only thing you can do its not try it in the 1st place but if you want to try (i do) then when you lose traction on a hill that steep no time to change into reverse. Quick reactions there to steer into the slide like he did, well done for keeping it on its wheels great
No. They only have a center difflock as standard. But you can add ARB or other aftermarket brand difflocks. Newer Defenders also have electronic traction control. This one probably had none of the extras.
anytime you lock up the wheels you loose the ability to steer. Anybody with actual experience knows that. The driver could have steered straight down the hill easily....a sliding tire does not steer....driver issue...not the hill
Classic mistake ! he propably paniced and applied the brake, thus sliding backwards without control. Correct procedure is to slam it into reverse, release the clutch and don´t touch the break .
First off, learn to spell. Second off, don't rubbish other's good driving skills. He made mistakes, yes, but he pulled out of it with some damn good steering. He was putting all his concentration into getting it straight and not rolling, Id like to see you have the composure to get it into reverse in that situation.
What the fuck is your problem ? i never meant to put down on his driver skills, let me see you spell better on a foreign language, arrogant dickface. And i have slammed my car in to reverse in similar situations propably hundreds of times. instead of concentrating on getting it straight, he needed to reverse, so that he could keep steering ability. and you obviously are a stupid asshole !
Chill dude, it's the internet, swearing doesn't get you anywhere. By the time he was moving backwards, he was starting to slide sideways. If he hadn't corrected the sliding when he did, he would have rolled. I don't know about you, but I know I couldn't correct my steering that quickly whilst trying to get it into reverse. If he could have held it on the slope, then got into the reverse, then yes, that is the text book way to go back down, but he was already moving backwards.
If you watch closely, the wheels were turning forwards while the car was going backwards, then he stepped on the brake, and the wheels stopped, after that he slided most of the way down. which is a classic mistake, he did not react quickly and slam it into revers. Even if he already was sliding rearwards, he should have put in in reverse, step on the brake for half a second if necesary to get the transmission in reverse, then relase the clutch and stay away from the brake.
i think its that he was trying to go up it too fast and when his wheels were bouncing ..every time,( cuz of steep angle) and that the wheels were spinning it just wouldn't allow him to get any traction..
Cant beleive that didnt roll!

These are obviously not expedition drivers but recreational drivers 'having a laugh'. As an expedition driver myself I would make my passengers climb up seperately. If the Landy had rolled someone would have got hurt!

What a terrible driver.

It wasn't the driver. The car lost traction because it has not traction control or diff locks so it skidded to the side. He did well to keep it straight when it was skidding back down. Absolute props go to the driver because the car didn't roll.

Statesmanls1 Cant agree with you more. Not the drivers falt for that, only thing you can do its not try it in the 1st place but if you want to try (i do) then when you lose traction on a hill that steep no time to change into reverse. Quick reactions there to steer into the slide like he did, well done for keeping it on its wheels great

Defenders have full allround diff lockers, but you lock the diffs you lose responsible steering...

No. They only have a center difflock as standard. But you can add ARB or other aftermarket brand difflocks. Newer Defenders also have electronic traction control. This one probably had none of the extras.

Its got nothing to do with the driver - If you see this hill you will understand - there is no way you have time to shift to reverse
pavdwalt 2 years ago
anytime you lock up the wheels you loose the ability to steer. Anybody with actual experience knows that. The driver could have steered straight down the hill easily....a sliding tire does not steer....driver issue...not the hill

Classic mistake ! he propably paniced and applied the brake, thus sliding backwards without control. Correct procedure is to slam it into reverse, release the clutch and don´t touch the break .

First off, learn to spell. Second off, don't rubbish other's good driving skills. He made mistakes, yes, but he pulled out of it with some damn good steering. He was putting all his concentration into getting it straight and not rolling, Id like to see you have the composure to get it into reverse in that situation.

What the fuck is your problem ? i never meant to put down on his driver skills, let me see you spell better on a foreign language, arrogant dickface. And i have slammed my car in to reverse in similar situations propably hundreds of times. instead of concentrating on getting it straight, he needed to reverse, so that he could keep steering ability. and you obviously are a stupid asshole !
johanj81 3 years ago
Note he even keept driving forward while sliding back in the beginning, You cant steer shit if the wheels are not turning.
johanj81 3 years ago
Chill dude, it's the internet, swearing doesn't get you anywhere. By the time he was moving backwards, he was starting to slide sideways. If he hadn't corrected the sliding when he did, he would have rolled. I don't know about you, but I know I couldn't correct my steering that quickly whilst trying to get it into reverse. If he could have held it on the slope, then got into the reverse, then yes, that is the text book way to go back down, but he was already moving backwards.
peeprox1991 3 years ago
If you watch closely, the wheels were turning forwards while the car was going backwards, then he stepped on the brake, and the wheels stopped, after that he slided most of the way down. which is a classic mistake, he did not react quickly and slam it into revers. Even if he already was sliding rearwards, he should have put in in reverse, step on the brake for half a second if necesary to get the transmission in reverse, then relase the clutch and stay away from the brake.

i think its that he was trying to go up it too fast and when his wheels were bouncing ..every time,( cuz of steep angle) and that the wheels were spinning it just wouldn't allow him to get any traction..
