Mate I have literally just bought a hat! my neck is cooked 🫣 Without A doubt trolly Jack is the way to go 😬😬

Learn offroading from Youtube or Instagram videos - "ONLY" People buying 4x4 think they are entitled to drive on sand without an understanding of how vehicle dynamics or weight distribution works in the sand. Answer: Too fast for crisis-crossing without managing the weight distribution correctly. Wish there was a real video than a hand movement explanation to really help.
