We just got back from our long trip. Saw lots of great sites and had a fantastic trip. The Simpson was a joy, no problems and so much fun.
I am no expert but we had no troubles at all and only had to have a second go at a dune once, and we broke nothing- but here are a couple of gripes re driving techniques we observed-
-at least one person was using >25 psi in tyres- this is mostly too high a pressure to run on dunes.
-if you are having to have two goes at dunes- lower the tyre pressure further.
-you don't need to go hard at the dunes...if you do lower your tyre pressures further.
-If you are damaging your vehicle- you are most likely driving too fast.
-yes you can do the dunes in 2wd- but everyone following would gladly kill you if they catch you.
-please use and monitor channel 10 UHF.
- if you are drunk and driving in the desert, you are a fool - yes we saw some fools who gladly told us how drunk they were.
Cheers
