    Just a comment: most LR owners who have purchased Maxtrax have found that they haven't needed them. We hope it's the same for you.

    (And tubeless tyres on appropriate rims usually allow tyres to be deflated enough for good sand traction)

    But there could be many others on Fraser who will borrow them
    Hey,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I should be travelling pretty light. I would think with all camping gear, liquids(fuel and water) and 2 passengers will add up to about 350kgs. which I think is a good travelling weight. I will be a lot less than most of the beach. It would be interesting to see the weight before and after hardtop conversion. I dont think there would be a huge amount of difference.
    I really hope I don't need them, but security factor when travelling solo.
    I will be running tubed tyres. I will look at tubeless for my next set of tubeless tyres.

    I've used both my sets of maxtraxs at once for my D90 and they still didn't do the job! well they kinda did after a (brand that shall not be named) pulled me onto them. I carry mine all the time for safety - you never know when someone else will need them.

    Nice truck too! I mentioned in my thread I'm only 10 away! haha.

    I have had some grease coming out of the rear passenger side hub in the last month. There has not been much come out and only after taking it for a longer drive it happens. I went for an hour drive a few days ago and when I arrived home I noticed some more had come out. I checked the temperatures of both rear hubs and the drivers side was barely warm while the passenger side was quite hot.
    I have removed the hub and taken out both seals and bearings. The bearings seem to be ok (there was no noise when driving).
    I have ordered new seals and bearings for both sides (can always have spares).
    It took quite some effort to get the rear passenger side drum off. I should have checked both drums to compare for heat as maybe I am having a brake drag which is causing heat. I will check this out when hub is put back together.
    While ordering parts I ordered new brake parts as well.
    All I need now is to get a punch set to knock the races out and wait for my parts to show up.

    I also noticed my pump washer for windscreen has stopped working. I looked at new prices for these ($55+) and have decided I can do without one for a while longer.

    I am always a bit nervous sending it out over the water. I sent it to 2kms at Easter time and the signal started to drop out. Many bricks were being laid that day.
