Thread: FL2 on the Beach at Fraser

I haven't had a look under wife's FL2 yet (only had it a week) but is the front chin part of the bumper likely to tear off on Fraser?

Any other plastic items that should be removed?

Heading up to Rainbow on the 7th and just wondering if I should take my 4WD or the FL2....

Pity we didn't see you (didn't see your post re:dates until we returned) - would have liked to get a picture of the two FL2's to compliment the ~47,000 I took of ours

Same experience as you re: FL2's ability - certainly very confidence inspiring for future trips. I was running 22psi on all 4 wheels and it felt like she just floated over the sand (which I guess she did, really). Even with the camper-trailer she never even felt like struggling no matter where we took her. Never even looked at the recovery gear.

Another pleasant factor with the FL2 was the fuel use. The other family we went with had a Navara (3.2l diesel) and it used way more fuel than the Landy. We averaged 13.5l/100km over the week - including the towing.

I've got some great pics and will post a trip report as soon as I catch up on the rest of my life (came home to find an IT ****storm due to my businesses hosting service migrating servers which caused some big problems).

Hey Spelchk, how heavy is your trailer - we are contemplating pulling our goldstream camper van into a very sandy camp area at inskip - our van weighs in at 1.5t loaded. We have 18 inch continentals (60 profile) so I'm considering about 12-15psi
We are getting high 10l/100kms on highway towing - it's great.
