The Secret to Driving Through Deep Sand #Seethe

Subscribe To Discover More! :) People who’ve been running desert routes for years avoid getting stuck by using onboard tire inflation systems to adjust pressure on the fly. Starting at 30 PSI can make the tires dig into the sand, dropping to 10 PSI gives you a much smoother ride, and at 5 PSI, the truck can keep moving through soft sand or snow. The tradeoff is that fuel consumption can double. Desert driving also means keeping an eye on the fuel tank and paint. High heat can send fuel tank pressure way up, so it needs to be vented regularly, and it’s better not to fill the tank all the way to avoid wasting fuel. Sandstorms can also wear down the paint, so some drivers coat the surface with dish soap or used motor oil to help keep fine sand from sticking. #DesertDriving #OffRoad #4x4Adventure #TruckLife #Overlanding #ExtremeDriving
