Cant see the pic mate?
I loved my SIII swb truck cab, had some great fun in it. But the only Series I could own these days is a SI I like the 86" SWB. Other than that, coil sprung is just so much better in so many areas IMO, and lets face it, by todays standards a 300Tdi is pretty old school lol.
One thing id like to note, and hear commented on, is the sand type from east to west coast. One member here a while ago told me about the sand on the west coast being a lot softer and dryer. He grew up on the east coast and very familiar with it from experience. He now resides in WA

The first time I went to Fraser Isl in my 110, i drove for 2 days at 38 PSi on 750x16 XZLs. I did this on purpose to get a feel of the difference when I dropped down to ~24 PSi. I did not get bogged once and even did some heavy braking in the softer stuff to dig in. This all on the eastern side. I went from Inskip and spent a week camping and moving along to the northern most NP camp ground. Never did the tip as no recvery gear and traveling solo.
Id say that pretty easy work by sand standards
That pic should be there now.
Softness of dryish sand depends on the moisture content.
I have seen very very soft sand here in Qld,usually if it hasn't rained for a couple of months and it has been hot.
In winter the sand moisture content seems to stay higher for longer after rain.
But then there is also the quicksand down near the water,that is very very soft,and can easily catch a driver out.
That is sand that is saturated with water.
Back to the vid,that sand didn't look very soft,but it could be just the way it looks in the vid.
