But if it's been raining stockton has some mad fresh water lakes closer to the tree-line. Still going to have some salt in them from the sand, but its minimal compared to driving through seawater.
How does sand affect the salt content in the water?
Get a bit of beach sand, and put it in our mouth. It tastes salty
How is there inland fresh water lakes on Fraser (A Sand Island) then?
Always plenty of burnt out cars in Anna bay to ramp on, apart from that, drive up a bit further to Samurai beach. Just past it, on the left is a little sandy track. There's some other stuff closer to Newcastle but I couldn't tell you how to get there.
Try high range before low range and see how it goes for you.
just rememeber u will use more fuel in high range than in low...
i find in the patrol i will use only 4th and 5th and it is fine BUT i only have a maximum of about 40k
but in high range i can go a lot faster but also use far more fuel

I wouldnt worrie about fish oiling your Zook, just saying your going has started the on set of rust. Do you have a wide track ? Can I have the axles when the zook turns to rust ?

Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.

A lot of them are always fresh because they are filled by the underground water that comes out of the Tomago Sand Beds. (which is also part of the Hunter Regions water supply). If the tides low enough and you're in the right spot, you can see the water running out at the shore line into the ocean.
If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?
My prado= 15 all round and feels like it should go lower but the tyres don't look like they will bag further safely so I leave it there and deal with the chees cutters it has.

Yep when they recommend 22psi on the placard for the tarmac, you begin to realise that even 15psi is too high!
I don't understand these macho people who don't bother dropping their pressures (too lazy to pump em back up again?). Do it before you hit the sand and you'll have a shitload more fun! Unless of course your idea of fun is being snatched every 2 minutes.
edit: If you're running 32s I am guessing they'll be an LT construction so they aren't going to bag much at all in the zook. Don't worry about how wide the tyre gets, it's how LONG a footprint you can give it that matters. Put a stick 4in from either end of the tyre (front and back) and deflate til it bags that much.
