    It was dryish a couple of weeks ago. The inland track was cut up but good. The softest track was the resort bypass road to The Desert but still easy. I have been through Indian when it was very dry and it was boggy but no drama, was fun sailing past the bogged 100 series x 2 and a GQ Ute. You won't have any dramas at Moteton. Just be careful if coming from the lookout and crossing over the East West track to the West East track (ie near the beach). It looks harmless but I can slightly airborn in the rear end at 15 kph....was a hump that didn't look like a hump in the dappled sun and shade!

    Cheers

    Ps. Now talking sand, this is the to do Big Red

    Lots of talk about tyres, but my number one mod if I was kitting out a new one would be Llams. Bloody great piece of kit.

    Who ever told you that rubbish about sand and the air suspension should be totally ignored from here on.

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
    2003 D2a TD5...gone...
    2000 D2 V8...gone...

    Yes without clearance at speed it can all be a bit academic.

    Cheers

    That article is 5 years old. A lot has changed in the tyre and rim market since.

    Cheers

    Yes, agreed tougher tyres but comments re weight and 19 in rims are pertinent to the thread?

    Cheers

    Bytemark will probably agree with this...

    The D4 has the ability to make rough seem smooth and entice a faster pace than suitable for conditions...

    This is one of the key factors in tyre damage on these vehicles.

    After Mark and I had a nice chat about it, photography and the universe we agreed vigilance of track in front, keeping pace respectable and correct pressures are the best way to preserve tyres..

    Mark then went on to do over 2500km on Gibber etc without issue...

    The whole article is probably pertinent, as long as one puts the comments regarding issues in the context of being 5 years old.

    The number 1 mod for off-roading a D4 is a decent set of tyres (of which there are now more choices).

    The number 2 would be more control of the height (of which there are now at least 2 choices).

    Cheers,

    Gordon
